[Keith Grabowski 🏈 Coach and Coordinator Network @CoachKGrabowski]

Leadership is knowing your value without making it about you.

@coach_harvey18 on the difference between confidence and selflessness.

Be confident in what you bring to the table
Help others shine
Use your strengths to elevate the team

Selfless doesn't mean shrinking yourself.

It means giving your best so others can be their best too.

@dan_infante08 @THSCAcoaches Well deserved Coach!

[Javier Peña Jr @CoachJPenaRGV]

Great first day of competition for our Rattlers. Dog bone, wrestling, and the 30-lb med ball race. A lot of effort, a lot of energy, and guys starting to show what they’re about when it gets competitive.

[Zach Brandon @MVP_Mindset]

This is the question Sean McVay routinely reminds himself of to keep things in perspective.

“Would you want to be coached by you?”

Coaches spend enormous amounts of time evaluating others, but what I appreciate about this question is that it gently flips the mirror.

Would you want to be led the way you lead?

Would you want feedback delivered the way you deliver it?

Would you want expectations communicated the way you communicate them?

Would you feel trusted, supported, and challenged in the environment you create?

And if the answer is no…what needs to shift?

The standard we set for others is often shaped by the standard we’re willing to hold ourselves to first.

Curt Cignetti got a bit carried away with his "two" keys to win the Peach Bowl 😅

And Dan Lanning had to let him know 👀

Before you ask someone to walk with you toward your dreams, first help them reach theirs.

I’ll say this. Win or lose I’ve been very impressed with Pete Golding’s demeanor all game long
