If your goal is the trophy and not the journey, you will be disappointed in the result

"If you're going to be willing to ask somebody how they are doing, be willing to sit there and listen to them. Don't make it a fly-by."

Love this anecdote from Mike Vrabel on supporting the mental well-being of players and staff.

Parents of young athletes:
You're being sold a bill of goods…

Early specialization…

It's a fear campaign…

Its a billion dollar dumpster fire saying:
To become a great athlete you must:
Specialize early…
Train year-round…
Compete often…

If you don’t your child is going to miss out and fall behind

And for the most part:
 It’s complete bullshit…
What it really is:

Early Development of sport-specific skills

Early success in sport

Little to no development of fundamental movement skills

Poor performances later in the sport

Higher chance of injury

Higher Chance of Burnout from Sport

Early start…Early finish!

It's a complete lack of understanding of how humans develop…

During the first 14 years of Life:
Be a human first: 
Do plenty of activities that involve:
Rolling
Crawling
Climbing
Reaching
Bending
Rotating
Standing (1 foot)
Changing levels:

Be an athlete second:
Sprint
Jump
Hop
Climb
Wrestle
swim/bike/ski
catch/kick/throw/trap Etc

Sprinkle in lots of activities and multiple sports! 

I can't guarantee a Div 1 scholarship but I can say that kids will be more Coordinated, stronger, more flexible, cardiovascularly fit, more resistant to fatigue and injury, and also be calmer, less stressed, leaner, and able to learn new skills. Skills like complex sports specific skills.

"Some people coach because it's their job; other people coach because it is their passion.”

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"I think truth is good for kids.
We want everybody to feel good. That's not the way life is."  @DeionSanders

Mediocre players would rather go unnoticed.
Good players want to be praised for their current skills.
Elite players crave honest feedback & coaching to become greater.
