Don't be difficult to work for. Don't be difficult to work with. Don't be difficult to lead. Be a great leader. Be a great teammate.

Practice complaining and you’ll be good at complaining. Practice being negative and you’ll be good at being negative. Practice gratitude and you’ll be good at being grateful. Practice being positive and you’ll be good at being positive. Practice what makes you better.

Show up when it’s not easy. Show up when it’s not convenient. Show up when you don’t want to. Show up when you don’t feel like it. Show up.

If you’re waiting for it to get easier, you’ll be waiting a long time. Obstacles are always around the corner. Adversity is part of the journey. Perfect circumstances don’t exist. Just take action.

It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.

I had a great time at Dayton Men’s Soccer ID camp on Sunday. Thank you Coach Currier and the UD staff for such a great workout! Club Ohio Soccer Adam Jones

Everyone faces adversity. Nobody likes adversity. The best use adversity to get better. Own your mindset. Own your growth.

We’re into our 2023 season preparations but one final accolade was announced for the 2022 season and that was Bennett Painter being named the Cincinnati Sports Awards Boys Soccer Player of the Year! Sam Hughes was also nominated for the award! Congrats! youtu.be/TACLjJKcop0

Average people show up occasionally. The greats show up consistently. Commitment > Convenience Do the work.

Your pity for others does little. Especially the receiver if it. Often times it’s just a way to soothe the guilt you’re feeling. Show you care rather than saying you care. We see and feel much better than we hear while we’re hurt.

Better doesn't mean perfect. Growth doesn't mean perfect. Success doesn't mean perfect. Perfect is an unhealthy and unrealistic expectation. It kills too many dreams and goals before they ever get started. Perfect isn't possible, but progress is. Take the next step. Get better.

Do one thing per day that compounds.

Care about the work. Care about the people. Care about the purpose. Care about the standard. Caring is a competitive advantage.

Ryko Bodurov (‘24) is an uncommitted player on our U19 National Team. There’s no other 10 like him in Columbus. Technical, creative, relentless work ethic, and so damn unpredictable. He’s big time. Here’s his most recent HS Game. youtu.be/NGarkXhO6eE

Culture doesn’t carry over from one game/month/quarter/season/year to the next. That’s accidental leadership. Culture is created through consistent daily actions. It's not about what we did yesterday, it's about who we are today. Show up intentionally. Live the standard daily.

Resilience is a learned trait that life callouses into you, but only when you’re able to set aside emotion and let purpose drive you forward. We humans can do hard things. Keep showing up.

True leadership is rooted in relationship. To lead them, you must know them.

True in sports - True in LIFE!

The best athletes I’ve coached have had an obsession with their craft. They aren’t merely passionate about it. They’re obsessed. With training for it. Watching it. Playing it. Analyzing it. All of it. It’s not normal. Which is why they tend to do uncommon things with the game.

Very Happy to have been selected for 2nd team All State this past fall season! Scioto Irish Boys Soccer Club Ohio Soccer Adam Jones
