How Coaches Build Relationships with Players:
Learn about their lives
Hold them accountable
Be someone they can trust
Be honest with them
Be compassionate
Believe in them
Encourage growth
Teach life lessons
Support academically & athletically
Listen to them
Appreciate uniqueness
We’ve been sold on the idea that toughness is created through fatigue and torture—and that toughness is the key to winning.
There’s a better way.
Win through executing fundamentals.
Win through team-first focus. #Ubuntu
Win through improved athleticism.
Win by making the sport the best part of a kid’s day.
Don’t train kids to survive the sport. Train them to thrive in it.
Culture isn’t something you build once.
You build it every day.
What you allow.
What you emphasize.
What you celebrate.
What you correct.
It all matters.
Culture is ALIVE.

Be where your 👣🐾 are
Once that ⏳ goes, there’s no way to get it back. Remember that even your worst day or saddest moment is someone else’s dream.
You owe it to yourself & those around you who support you to give your 💯 each and every day
You can't control the storm.
You can control your response to it.
The bad news, the setback, the thing that blindsides you—none of that was ever up to you.
What you do next is.
"[As a coach] it's always about the player.
Don't make it about yourself.
The moment you think you're the smartest dude in the room or the secret sauce is the moment you're going to fail.
At the end of the day, everything should be about the player."
- Kenny Dillingham
Marcus Freeman said what most coaches won't.
"I'm not here to be your friend. I'm here to push you, challenge you, help you be successful."
Friendship feels good.
Coaching builds someone who can handle it.
You can be both. Just not at the same time.
**Your players are watching more than your coaching. They're watching your leadership.**
How you handle adversity becomes their example.
How you communicate becomes their standard.
How you prepare becomes their expectation.
Culture isn't created during speeches.
It's created by what the head coach consistently models every day.
Players may forget what you said.
They rarely forget what you demonstrated.
What's one leadership lesson coaching has taught you?
