It amazes me how people who have never attended a practice, meeting, or off-season workout think they know more than a group of men who are at every practice and meeting, and are experts at their craft.

As a coach fans measure you by W/L's. If you coach young people and that's your measure of success than you are missing a blessing. Measure yourself by the impact you have on a players life. Teach them to handle the W/L's in the game and in life. Coach for life not for the game

We’re losing a lot of great coaches. Maybe before getting mad at your kids’ high school coach, think “Would I want to do all this work for $2 an hour?”. If the answer is no, maybe don’t be a jerk to the coach. If the answer is yes, apply for the job bc we need more coaches. :)

All you’re asking your kids HS coach to do is: Get them a scholarship Keep all players + parents happy Manage all Frosh/JV/Var teams Teach them life lessons Not lose any games Work with AAU coaches Scout/Film each game Develop skill set Stay on top of their GPA So that’s all?

I feel for the public school coaches. The stuff yall have to deal with as far as parents go…foolishness. Kids talk back to coaches, don’t show up to workouts and conditioning, and damn sure don’t put in quality time on their own to get better but you have the nerve to complain.

Parents who cheer as loud for other children as they do their own are great parents to have around.

People that never coached a day in they life will try to tell a coach what to do. What other profession do people do that?

$5,000 to play AAU is insane man smh..unless all the games are played in Abu Dhabi and Phil Jackson is coaching, with an end of season tournament on planet Mars, man it’s getting wild out here. No wonder parents want to be in the huddles and always in the mix, I would too ..

Sad part of today's youth bball journey is- rush, rush, rush into travel bball, quit team to join that team, have 2 different skills coaches, get to Senior Year and burn out. Youth bball is to be enjoyed, not overly stressed. Stop treating youth bball like it's professional.

Coaches who give in to pouting players are creating a culture of entitlement. Keep your standards high and hold your players to them.

Summer AAU/Club sports are great but there is something special about student-athletes competing against rival schools, in front of a crowd of community members, friends, and family, after attending classes all day, while playing alongside teammates who are also their classmates.

In my 20+ years in high school athletics, this is without question, the toughest time to be a High School Coach. With so many outlets (Select Sports, Skill Coaches, Social Media, etc) there are that many more opinions about how people should do their job. There isn’t a more

The kids that miss their high school spring break tournament for vacation miraculously have parents that complain about playing time and will ultimately try to get the coach fired if needed. It's all about their kid and creating the path of least resistance. They could care a

Players who complain about how much they have to work in the off-season are usually the players who also complain about playing time during the season.

Whether you are somewhere for 5 minutes, 5 hours, 5 weeks or 5 years, aim to leave it better than you found it.

It's tradition for us to leave the locker-room "cleaner than we found it." Especially when playing an away game. Why? Because the little things matter. How we represent our school and team matters Why should someone else clean up our mess? Winners act like #winners all the time

BELIEVE IT! THE LOBOS WIN! #GoLobos | #EarnedNotGiven

Bronco Mendenhall may legitimately be the best coach in the nation. Year one at New Mexico started rough. The Lobos opened 0-4 with an FCS loss to kick the season off. But things turned around after a hugely important win over their instate rival. Tonight UNM notched their first

PARENTS: There are very few things that you can say from the bleachers that will ever make your child play better. Just sit back and enjoy the game, cheer for your child, cheer for the team, and take it all in! It will be much more enjoyable for you and your child.

Can I get a shout to the parents of kids that may not log a ton of varsity minutes but still show up to every game?
