🧱 Toughness Evaluation
Most coaches say they want “tough players.”
Few actually define what that means.
This checklist does.

10 Inconvenient Truths of Coaching

1. Not every kid wants to be great.

2. You will often be misunderstood.

3. Some parents care more about playing time than team success.

4. Your best players aren’t always your best leaders.

5. No system works without buy-in.

6. Success brings criticism, too.

7. Culture isn’t built in a week, it’s built daily.

8. You can’t coach every player the same way.

9. Wins don’t always reflect your impact.

10. The job takes more from you than it gives… until years later.

Still worth every second.
Still a great profession.
