I fear not the coach who has practiced 1000 plays one time, but the coach who has practiced the one play 1000 times. Good teams do one thing really well. Have an identity. Don’t practice until you get something right, practice it until you can’t get it wrong.

Cardinals pitcher Griffin Roberts suspended 50 games for testing positive for cannabis. Cubs shortstop Addison Russell suspended 40 games for beating his wife. The message here apparently: don’t smoke weed, beat women. Nice standard, MLB

To win consistently in team sports, you don't need the best collection of talent - you need the best team. And the best teams are filled with engaged kids who understand that for the good of the team beats for the good of themselves.

I can't believe I trained in this type of weather daily.

I have a real time video when he signed this contract 2-3 days ago. A special surprise he waited to sign this deal until I was available to witness the actual signing. Now, make it your best year as I watch from above, for now in.

“As a player, I wanted my coaches to know what the hell they were doing but also be somewhat vulnerable and human. That was a signal that we’re trying to get better, too.” Steve Kerr reflecting on his coaching approach - coach with conviction but be open & humble enough to evolve

What a great semester for these ladies in the classroom and on the field! Tremendous job ladies as they posted a 3.569 team GPA for the fall semester 👏📚! Four Lady Saints with a 4.00 and 17 with a 3.5 or above! Very proud and excited to be a part of this process! #allin

Recruits need to stop this "just need one team to give me a shot" thing. You guys write that, but then you ignore or string along the schools that contact you. You don't want a shot, you want attention. Why do you care how many schools write you? You can only go to one of them.

The mediocre leader tells. The good leader explains. The superior leader demonstrates. The great leader inspires. - Gary Patton

De Gea using a technique used by the Futsal goalkeeper - the lateral split save! The most effective and efficient way of him making the save in that moment! I will be sharing my process of coaching this type of technique next weekend on the FA Futsal UEFA B course at SGP!!

I would love to see a report on each state's biggest youth clubs informing us of how many players go on to receive $ to play in college and what %of the tuition they receive. I mean since clubs aell the dream of college to parents. @coachjamesmyers Kephern Fuller Kai Edwards

Finally, Brad Friedel’s perspective on current state of #USMNT goalie pool:

MLS shamelessly adds another expansion team while ignoring the concept of promotion/relegation. Give deserving teams in deserving cities a chance over the league’s greed for money.

When ex-players run into their former youth coach and say how much they loved playing for them, it’s likely not because of strategy/tactics. It usually has to do with memories of a coach that taught them, pushed them, believed in them, supported them- and helped make them better.

As a former high school coach, your best player can not have grade issues!!! It’s not about winning game, it’s all about winning in life !! Coach the importance of grades!!

Sometimes we over complicate things...Just DO YOUR JOB!

🧩Luke Strege🧩 I was thinking the exact same thing last week watching Sportscenter. All about the individual. Nothing about the team. NBA seems to be the worst of that coverage. We want to glorify the Westbrook’s, etc., without pointing out how it’s not leading to wins or titles.
