"I am a huge believer in being coached." - Peyton Manning

Coaching is about feedback, growth, and improvement.

- The great ones are coachable.
- They want to be coached
- They want to be challenged
- They want to learn

Be Coachable!

DEVELOPING MENTAL TOUGHNESS

"You get mental toughness because things are hard. You've got to embrace hard.

Tough times make hard people. Easy times make soft people...

You've gotta learn to overcome things that are hard." (Nick Saban)

[Jaycob Ammerman @Jammer2233]

Geno Auriemma 💯

“If you go to class & you do average work - you get a C - that’s why it’s called average. If you want a B - you have to do more work & if you want an A you have to do even more work. You have to give up stuff - you have to sacrifice.”

[Jamy Bechler @CoachBechler]

WIN THE GAME IN YOUR HEAD FIRST

"Players and people break down mentally before they do breakdown physically. You're not just training them to run, jump, and do things. You're training them, hopefully, to think under pressure." (Geno Auriemma)

~ via @TheCoachJournal

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"It's the human condition to be average.
It's normal.
It's special to get somebody that wants to be the best they can be and understand how important it is to earn it."
Average is easy.
But true success isn't found in comfort.
Be relentless and leave your mark on greatness.

I cannot emphasize enough how strong athletic programs can help turn around a campus academically. There may be other ways, but it is definitely a formula that works.

TL;DR 8 Realities of High School Coaching

1: It will consume you.
2: Critics
3: You are not in it for the money.
4: There is no overnight success.
5: Supportive Spouse
6: You will not make everyone happy.
7: You can't want it more than the kids.
8: It is still WORTH it!
