Unpopular 🌶️ take but it's time we call it out and tell the truth!

Entitlement is a cancer. So many wonder why we’re losing great coaches, leaders and struggling to find quality ones. No one wants to deal with this level of nonsense.

Entitled parents are teaching entitled kids that they can whine, complain, and manipulate their way into what they want. But that’s not how life works. The best players earn their spot that’s how it’s supposed to be.

Don’t like where you stand? Work harder or move on. Because in college and especially in the real world you can’t just call the coach or your child’s future employer and demand they get a position, scholarship, or job they didn’t earn.

Accountability builds character. Excuses don’t. And it’s sad, because these parents aren’t helping they’re robbing their kids of the opportunity to build confidence and resilience through hard work.

When you step in and do it for them, the message you send is: “You’re not good enough on your own.” But the truth is, they’ll never know what they’re capable of if you don’t let them earn it.

Thoughts? 💭

Happy Father’s Day to my hero. I miss seeing your face light up at the sight of a pound of Costco bacon. I miss the excitement you had each morning when you and mom checked the game camera. I miss so many things, but I am thankful for so many great memories and life lessons.
