Parents: You’re raising a child, not an athlete. Teach them respect, hard work, how to be a good person. Show them what character & work ethic are. Hold them accountable. Teach them that they won’t ever get what they don’t earn. Strong, well-rounded kids find success much easier!

I stopped coaching after the 2018 season. I had no idea major changes were on the horizon for the profession. The Head Coach of 2024 has different issues that I did not deal with as a Head Coach. Here are 8 things that have…

Work ethic doesn’t reflect motivation or inspiration as much as it reflects discipline. High integrity people work hard because it’s who they are. They don’t need coddling or a cheering section. Their motivation comes from within. And really, that’s the only place that matters!

Great Effort = Great Results

Condition ourselves to choose Courage over Comfort

Theoretical question. . .
