Coach Notes ✏️

The team you coach is a prototype. Put it forth in competition then refine.

Rinse, reflect and repeat.

If we ask players to be on time - as coaches we should finish at the time we say we will be done. If being late is unacceptable, not releasing on time is just as bad (if not worse as it can impact an entire family)

ATHLETES: Your playing days are numbered.

It is a short window, and there are no guarantees. Make the most of these years!

Live with No Regrets.

Here are 7 ways to do that...

1: Pass the MIRROR Test
Can you look at the “Man/Women” in the Mirror and tell them you gave it your all? If you can do this each day, you have passed the Mirror Test. Give your BEST Effort. Pass the Mirror Test and live with No Regrets!

2: Accept Coaching
Be coachable. You can always get better. You always have room for improvement. Accept coaching. Every coach teaches you something. Sometimes it will be good. Sometimes, it may not be good. But, accept coaching and learn, grow, and live regret-free.

3: Earn Confidence
Athletes EARN the right to be proud and confident. Put in the time. Commit. Be Proud. When you do this, you believe you are in control of the outcome.

4: No Skipped Workouts
Daily Habits Win. You can’t work out some of the time. Set a schedule. Have a plan. Then, go at it with persistence and relentless consistency.

5: Positive Attitude
You can always control your energy and attitude. Make sure it is positive energy. A good attitude will leave you with no regrets.

6: Show Gratitude
Many people are involved in your commitment and your athletic experience—especially your parents. Be thankful for the time and resources they put in for you. Show gratitude. It will go a long way and will help you reach your full potential.

7: No Deposit - No Return!
Live with this mindset -> live with no regrets. You get out of everything that you put into it. Put time and energy into your sport, and you will reap the rewards. Look back on your playing career and know you did all you could. Live with No Regrets!
