Ruining one of the coolest things about high school sports one neutral site game at a time. It’s a damn shame, I’ll take my team any distance in this state for an opportunity to play more games!

IMO: Unless you as an Assistant Coach are giving a shoutout or saying something positive about an individual player or position group...The only person that needs to talk after practice or after the game is the head coach.

Every coach has stood on the sideline and wondered why a player isn’t giving full effort. Angela Duckworth offers a better question.
High performers carry four thoughts at once: this is interesting, this is important, I can do this, and I know what to try next. If even one of them is missing, full effort goes with it.
That changes where we look. A player coasting through a drill may not lack heart at all. They may not see where it shows up in a game, or they may have run out of things to try. Two of those four thoughts are almost entirely in our hands, through how we pitch the challenge and what we say after the rep.
This card helps you find the missing thought before you reach for “work harder,” which answers none of them. Print it, keep it on the clipboard, and the next time a drill goes flat, ask which one is missing.

A Sad Reality…
The biggest threat to team chemistry isn’t always a selfish player.
Sometimes it’s a selfish parent.

Tonight in Washington state, nearly half the Camas High School girls cross country team refused to compete against a boy on their own team.
He switched from the boys' team just one month ago.
Now he's placing in every meet.
Courage always wins.

Nick Saban asked his team a simple question:
“Do we have show dogs on the team, or do we have hunting dogs?”
Show dogs want to be seen.
Hunting dogs want to win.
The answer tells you everything about your culture. 🏆

Preparation is the great separation.
In the biggest games you don’t rise to the occasion, you fall to your preparation.
Be great today.

High School kids worry about pics more than they worry about the results and work….

Want a tougher team?
Start here:
1. Stop rescuing them
2. Stop repeating yourself
3. Stop negotiating the standard
4. Stop accepting half-effort
5. Stop waiting for buy-in
Toughness isn’t talked about.
It’s built.

PLAYERS: Do you want more playing time? Make it impossible for the coach to sit you. Become a better teammate and more positive leader. Find ways to become more valuable to your team. Bring more value to your team. Make your teammates better. Make your team better.

Our relatively stronger XC/T&F athletes are our fastest.
Crazy, I know. 🤷♂️
