GEORGE BOIARDI HARD HAT AWARD 💪😤

Ryan Terefenko (@DenverOutlaws) was lethal in transition this season, leading all short-stick defensive midfielders in points.

If you needed a reminder why TJ Malone is the best player in the PLL…

- Only player with 5P+ in 3 different games
- 2nd in points (21)
- Only player with 3G+ in 3 different games
- 1 of 2 players with at least 12G and 7A

Now, he’s got his first career All-Star Selection! 🌟

Used this with the Moorestown HS guys last week to reset before playoffs. Simple reminders to stay grounded when the pressure kicks in.

One senior added: “Love the moment.”

My dad reminded me: “Groundballs win games.”

There’s a common phrase in coaching:

“𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞.”

For years, I’ve been asking coaches of various professional sports teams how they show the athletes they work with that they care.

Here are some of their answers:

- Call them by their name.
- Ask their opinion.
- Make sure your preparation is easy to detect.
- Learn what their interests are.
- Ask what their goals are.
- Communicate often.
- Tell the truth.
- Don’t run from hard conversations; talk immediately.
- When giving feedback, tell them it’s because you know they can do it.
- Own up to your own mistakes.
- Be humble.
- Give strong, direct feedback without belittling or getting emotional.
- Listen closely when they tell you what they are excited about.
- Tell them when you notice they are making progress.
- Be consistent through the ups and downs—be the same person.
- Talk about things outside of sports.
- Tell them about your family and interests outside of sports.
- Acknowledge them every time you walk by them in the halls.
- Laugh with them. Laugh at yourself.
- Be willing to change your mind.
- Ask questions. You don’t have to have all the answers.

What else would you add??
