Coaches, one of the greatest challenges—and greatest opportunities—in coaching is learning to coach the athlete in front of you, not the athlete you wish you had.
Every player is different. Different strengths. Different struggles. Different journeys.
Great coaches don't spend their energy wishing for something else. They invest their energy developing the gifts God has already placed in each athlete.
Meet them where they are. Believe in who they can become. Then help them take the next step.
That's where growth happens.

Dear Coaches,
Please never forget that those you are blessed to coach are NOT pawns in some twisted game of YOU trying to climb some coaching ladder!
They ARE future:
• Mothers
• Fathers
• Teachers
• Pastors
• Doctors
• Entrepreneurs
• Activists
• Coaches
• And LEADERS, who (if poured into correctly), will go out, and change the world!
Thankful for the invite & opportunity to go compete at the Utah Tech Showcase Camp this past Monday & Tuesday. Thank you Coach Simkins, Coach Anderson and the rest of the coaches and players there. Had a great time! @UtahTech_SB@LineDsoftball@ExtraInningSB#UtahTechBlazers🦬

- "First of all I know this, you can give them deadhead if you're not careful, so hit them in spurts. You give them 20 minutes, hit them on what you need to hit them on & get them out for a couple minutes, bring them back & keep going."
- "It needs to be interactive, ultimately we're teachers. We're teachers in football, so how do you communicate & articulate what you're trying to get across to those players. Don't make it more complex than it needs to be, keep it simple where they can play fast, know what to do & make it interactive, make it fun."
Had a great time at Zoom Into June getting to compete with my team. Here are some highlights. Have a couple weeks to get some more work in before we head to Colorado and play in the 18U Fireworks Power Pool. @LineDsoftball@ExtraInningSB

Coaches who only correct never connect.
“Negative experiences without teaching kill morale.” - Nick Saban
The hard moment isn’t the problem.
Leaving it without a lesson is.
That’s what transformational coaching actually looks like.

“To look in the mirror and see yourself. Challenge yourself to be the very best and to always do the right thing. Never compromise your principles, never lower your standards. Whatever you do in life, have the courage and commitment to do it to your absolute best,” Pat Summitt
“There’s something about an athlete that you have to believe that you’re better than you are. You have to. But, the great ones can also look really honestly with themselves and go you know what? I’m afraid. I need to get better at this. I need to get better at that,” Dave Roberts
Hope everyone listens to this from @MollyMiller33..
"This team defined a season that's going to be the trajectory of this program.. These seniors are going to be the reason we hang banners."
