What does a strong team culture look like?
1. We > Me
2. Process > Prize
3. Serving > Self-Serving
4. Learning > Knowing
5. Positivity > Negativity
6. Encouraging > Ignoring
Choose to lead.
Be a gatekeeper of your culture.
Big thank you to @CoachesCombines for having me out today to showcase my skills !!

As an athlete, failure is part of the journey.
- You’ll get criticized.
- You’ll go through slumps.
- You might even start to doubt yourself.
But keep showing up.
Keep working.
Keep believing.
Tough times don’t last.
Tough people do.
Ten things mentally tough athletes don’t do in games:
1. Make excuses
2. Complain
3. Give up
4. Get distracted
5. Lose their temper
6. Panic
7. Dwell on mistakes
8. Get complacent
9. Stay in their comfort zone
10. Play selfishly
Growth requires pressure.
Discipline demands discomfort.
If everything feels easy and everyone’s smiling… you’re not coaching—you’re supervising.
Be intentional. You’re shaping minds and bodies. There’s no time to waste
#Growth#Discipline
If your 16 YO athlete isn’t willing to wake up 15-min earlier to make their own breakfast they really don’t care about getting stronger or improving as an athlete.
You can’t earn that D1 scholarship with an attitude consistent with Intramural sports.
Seriously, if you have a student athlete under your roof who has a phone, spends > 4 hours/day social media, goes to specialized training, plays multiple sports that you spend thousands of dollars on annually they should absolutely be able to prioritize their nutrition and sleep.
Don’t be your kid’s friend, be their parent. Encourage them to pack snacks, build a routine that is centered around supporting the life they want to live.
Kids need routine, structure, discipline, and guidance. They will be glad they had a parent who encouraged them to eat well and recover smart.
There’s a lot of hard working athletes out there hungry to get better and will easily outperform those who have poor habits. Poor habits like staying up late, on phones for hours a day, skipping meals, drinking energy drinks, eating candy and chips as meals, and flat out showing up to training under-fueled giving 50% effort.
If you want your kid to be strong and successful, ask them to put down the phone. Help them plan out their meals and snacks for games and training, get to bed early and pack their water bottle. These are simple and basic things for GOOD health.
If you really want to be great you need to do the basics. If you can’t do the basics you really don’t care about being great.
No one accidentally shows up to the championship game or succeeds in life by accident. Discipline, structure, and life skills need to be taught early on in life! Too many kids lack the means to succeed.
It’s 2025 and it’s time to get these student athletes dialed! 📞
“Coach I want to get jacked and gain weight.”
Cool.
But you skip breakfast.
Barely eat at lunch.
Dinner is fast food with no protein or carbs.
Then you blame the program when the scale doesn’t move?
You don’t have a training problem—you have a discipline problem.
