You can’t forget about the guys that never left their hometown and “won back in the day.” Those guys know how things should be done also.

As an AD, sideline coaches always amaze me. The ones hanging on the fence or sitting in the bleachers somehow know more than the coaches who run practice every day. They know who should play (usually their own kid). Funny thing is, they’re never willing to step up and actually coach or never been to a single practice.

As an AD, one of the biggest challenges is understanding what athletes and parents truly want. Everyone says they want to win, but too often the communication I receive is centered around why practice is being missed, why workouts can’t happen, or why the commitment isn’t possible.

Winning is rarely about what happens on game day, it’s built in the unseen hours of preparation, consistency, and sacrifice. You cannot claim to want success while consistently avoiding the work required to achieve it.

Too often, “we want to win” really means “we want the rewards of winning without the discomfort of earning it.” When that gap exists, the blame often shifts to the coach instead of the habits.

Great programs are built when athletes, parents, and coaches all align in understanding that commitment comes before results. Wanting to win and being willing to do what it takes to win are two very different things.

Environment can stunt you.

You probably know you can be bigger than your current tank.
Look around and position for growth...

Either know their record or at least heard of the town because they have a football teams. It’s almost a geography lesson 😂.

[Tom 🇺🇸🇵🇱 @TommyD6336]

Is it just guys in Texas that can drive through a small town in the middle of nowhere and be like oh ya this town their football team when 12-2 last year and lost and the 2AD2 state quarterfinals

The weight room is biased. It only rewards those who work. And it will see right through anyone not willing to do it. It’s a truth teller. You can’t fool it. It will let you know exactly where things stand.

@Matt_Stepp817 @dctf Coach Langston was an awesome guy to work for. I wish him and his family the best.

Coaching looks fun from the outside.

But once you’re in it, you learn some hard truths that most people never see.

Here are 5 hard truths every coach needs to understand:

Mansfield ISD salutatorian used her platform and time wisely. She gave a terrific speech calling out book bans and vouchers. Bravo!

[Drew Barnard, M.Ed @CoachB1986]

@CoachEscobar45 @_willcompton No threat though… 😆

[David Neill @DNeill62]

No program is effective if you don’t strain.

At some point athletes have to learn to push themselves if they want results.

[Drew Barnard, M.Ed @CoachB1986]

Definitely. Down 23 pounds since the beginning of February.

The bigger you are the more you underestimate how much you’re eating

I did thought the exact same when I was over 300lbs
