This is the week roughly 40-45% of D1 women’s soccer teams seasons are over. Conference play begins. To be done before Halloween is always kiss of fate. Don’t ever take lightly any postseason play your team qualifies for.

How many times do you run the same session before moving on?
Run it at least twice.
First time: players learn the organization and the roles.
Second time: they're in position and know what's expected.
Now you can coach the real stuff.

Coaches: Stop trying to motivate players every day.
Build habits instead.
Motivation comes and goes. Standards remain.
The goal is to create a team that knows how to work, communicate, compete, and respond… even when nobody feels motivated.
That’s culture.

Great coaches make it about the players! Simple and I truly hope coaches take something from his example. Show up and do the right things. This is so great to see Pat win like this.
Some of the best years of my life and my career were in Great Falls. The people, the community, and the program shaped me into who I am and helped me get to where I am today.
Never forget your formative years as a coach. Family we are, Family we stay.
NAIA University of Providence (MT) has announced that the school will close following the 2026-27 academic year.
The school cites “years of sustained enrollment decline and increasing financial pressure” as factors.
They currently sponsor 8 women’s and 7 men’s sports.

I love when managers go into this much detail about their tactics. Could listen to stuff like this all day. Fascinating.
🚨 José Mourinho: "I told Camavinga that Tchouaméni will stay low and protect the defense, and you will attack SPACE.
It's difficult for any attackers to attack space against Barcelona, the only solution is to do it with your MIDFIELDERS.
When your attackers do it, Barca's defense is prepared and coached for that, and your attackers end up being offside, or the pass ends up being cut by Joan Garcia.
The solution is to use midfielders like Camavinga and Bellingham to break that line, and it worked."

Kobe on Leadership:
"Leadership is Lonely. If you are going to be a leader, you are not going to please everybody. You have to hold people accountable. Even if you have that moment of being uncomfortable."

Every moment spent blaming, complaining, or making excuses is a moment you could spend taking ownership and moving forward.

Culture is built through influence. Influence is built through relationship. Relationship is built through trust. Trust is built through connection.
If you want better culture, start by learning to connect with your people.

“Any great player wants to be coached hard.
Coaches take players to levels they can’t take themselves.
What great player doesn’t want to be coached hard?”
Being coachable means caring more about getting better than being right.

Every practice is a trade: your time for your progress.
Make that trade worth it today—and be grateful you get another crack at it tomorrow.

College programs are suffering from the same root problem:
The HC is not disciplined or effective as a leader.
Good person. Good coach. Good X's & O's. In some cases, great.
It's not scheme or talent that's failing. It's leadership.
Leadership has never been more important.

PJ Fleck was asked after the game how he's able shut out the haters and continue being himself despite the heat he takes publicly.
His message, per usual, is worth a listen no matter what you think of the Minnesota Gophers' head coach.
"We will never ever, ever, ever take winning for granted... I don't think there's any reason for anybody in this world, no matter who you are, to apologize for who you are. As long as you are being the best, most authentic, most real version of yourself every day, and you're changing your best, and you're doing good in the world. You do that, don't you ever change... Be yourself."
