“My biggest thing to them is stop focusing on the wrong shit. When we start worrying about the LSU game that everybody's talking about, you better worry about Louisville. You better worry about what you're doing right now.” - Ole Miss Head Coach Pete Golding

Your job as a Head Coach is to get the program to it's ceiling. The ceiling is different at each place. This can be a very difficult concept for parents, players, coaches, and administration to understand. Work to get your program to it's individual ceiling.

High school football coaches might have the most important job in any community and it’s overlooked. They set the culture for the largest group of young men in a school. If they build good men, not just wins, that ripple hits families, schools, and the whole community.

[Mark Hoover @MarkHoover71]

“If you’re a high school athlete you better be lifting year round. You’re competing with transfer portal athletes who train 48 weeks a year. You’re a baseball player who lifts for 3 months in the off season then says “I have travel ball” or “I’m not lifting in season” you are already behind. Lifting is the X factor for baseball players”

[Will Barto @Coach_WBarto]

High school coaching has to get back to its roots — developing young men. Winning matters, yes. We all want to win. But growth matters just as much. The harsh reality of football is 96–97% of these kids won’t play after high school. Make their experience something they remember forever. Even the kid who won’t play college ball can impact your program. You never know who needs this game for those few hours a day.

Some do it for money, some do it for ego. Most do it because it’s in our blood.

Youth Arm injuries increase year after year, but coaches and parents continue to let players play year round with no break from baseball. Playing 2 sports and putting down a baseball for a few months is OK everyone! Just saying!

You learn a lot when you Coach.

After three decades of coaching, here are 28 of the most important things I have learned.

Maybe they will resonate with you.

28 Lesson Learned.

1. Coaching is all about relationships. Work to build relationships with your players.
2. Play the long game with culture. There are no shortcuts to success.
3. Develop your leaders. Don’t hope or wish for leaders.
4. You are never as good as you think in a win. And after a loss, you are never as bad.
5. When in doubt, less is more. The earlier you learn this, the better.
6. As the coach, you are the leader. Lead by example in all you do.
7. Culture is what you allow and what you emphasize.
8. Create practices with a purpose.
9. Do things in groups of 3’s. It is simple and easy to remember.
10. Energy givers make a team. Reward your energy givers.
11. Put your players in situations where they can use their strengths.
12. Communication is vital. Be clear, concise, and proactive.
13. Remember, comparison is the thief of joy. Don’t compare yourself to others.
14. Be a lifelong learner. The best coaches are constantly learning and getting better.
15. There is no substitute for hard work. As a coach, model the work ethic you want.
16. Culture is every day. You must think this way. If not, your culture will erode.
17. Find a supportive spouse. Coaching is challenging and time-consuming.
18. Over-communicate roles for your players and team.
19. Remember, leadership is a lifestyle. Be a servant leader.
20. Do not try to please anyone. It is impossible and will only cause problems.
21. Be incredibly honest with kids and parents. Do not sugarcoat anything.
22. Do yourself a favor and be very organized. It shows competence.
23. Celebrate the small wins. Use the game within the game to set goals.
24. Focus on the process, not the prize.
25. Always celebrate WE over ME.
26. Think about your player's mental health. It is more important than ever.
27. Get to know your parents when their kids are young. These relationships matter.
28. Enjoy the time with your players and have fun!

Seeing a lot of coaching discouragement on here.

Last night we finished 10-0. Before I could crank up my car, I had a parent requesting a meeting about coaching decisions/PT.

Moral- Coach w/ consistency & fairness. Love the kids. Focus on the voices inside the walls not out.
