If athletes wait until they feel perfect, they will be waiting for a long time. Coach athletes to how to perform when they feel off, feel great, and everything in between. Most of their performances will occur in between.

Athletes today often don't feel like they belong (for a variety of reasons). Do something today to build up your athletes and make them feel like they belong.

Coaches have a tendency to overcorrect athletes. Make sure you leave athletes to learn from mistakes on their own. Otherwise, they will never learn to self-correct.

If you want leaders... you must teach leadership. If you want clear communication... you must teach communicate. If you high character athletes... you must coach character development. All skills tied to athlete development are coachable!

It is easy to implement pre-activity routines for a day. It is challenging to continue to refine that routine over multiple years to get to a desired mental state. Growth occurs with consistent implementation and revision.

We have done a lousy job as a sporting nation at developing sport experiences that DEVELOP young people physically, mentally, and emotionally. It needs to change.

To develop a cohesive team, research says you need to make the group experience as attractive as possible. Make it fun and provide time/space for your athletes to connect.

One of the most complex parts of coaching is balancing the team vs. the individual. A balanced approach to feedback (some individual and some team) is optimal.
