98% of the kids we coach will never play a single professional snap.

But 100% of them will have to lead a life.

They'll have to manage a marriage. Raise kids. Lead a team. Handle failure without falling apart.

So here's the question every coach needs to sit with:
If I'm only teaching what's on the clipboard — am I actually coaching them for the life they're going to live?

Because if we're not intentionally teaching resilience, emotional stamina, accountability, and how to talk to themselves when the moment gets hard...

We're not just missing an opportunity. We're cheating the kids.

The X's and O's will be forgotten by Thanksgiving.

The mental skills? Those run a marriage. A boardroom. A battalion. A life.

Coach the whole person. That's the job.

@GabbardWM28 Yes sir!

[Michael Boyle @mboyle1959]

Simple but interesting. The kids who commit to year round training tend to play in college. The “showcase kids”, not so much.

[Jamie Gamel @CoachGam904]

@Coachhill_24 [email protected] thanks coach!

[Brandon Moses McCray @CoachMcCrayLHS]

The FHSAA will only allow you to play 4 consecutive seasons at the high school level. Please stop lying to the kids telling them they can reclassify backwards. You can graduate early or 🤦🏾‍♂️ late but you cannot play more than 4 seasons. It’s not yall fault kids. These adults trying to use yall.

Coaches!

In your pursuit to acquire championship rings, make sure you don’t lose sight of what’s most important, and lose your wedding ring!

COST ASSOCIATED WITH LEADERSHIP

"Have to make hard decisions that'll negatively affect people you care about...

Be disliked despite your best attempt to do the best for the most...

Be misunderstood and not always have the opportunity to defend yourself."
