Congrats to LSU Baseball on winning a national title! Here’s what their strength coach sent me in regards to their in-season training protocols on April 30th. 2 or 3 training days a week in season. Non-negotiable. Either train or fall behind. You choose…..
I love this interaction between Dansby and Shaw. After Shaw catches a pop-up, Dansby—obviously a vocal leader—seems to suggest something to him. Shaw soaks it in, and they go back and forth talking, ending with a confident thumbs up.
Great coaches, especially QB Coaches, don't simply give their QB answers (ie "this guy will be open" or "throw it here") but instead give them a process for everything- if this happens, I can do this. Should be baked into not just scheme but any scenario work that you do w/ them
Honesty & trust have to be the backbone of every player/coach relationship...if you lie to your players or ask them to lie for you (to teammates, admins, etc.), how can they ever believe what you say- either constructive criticism for growth or when encouraging or applauding them
I’m sorry I couldn’t properly lead to this beautiful tribute the @CollegeGameDay put together. Really wanted to thank all of you for the avalanche of love and support you’ve shown Ben. It gives me and my family such comfort knowing how he impacted so many peoples lives around the country. He was a beautiful and loving soul.
Seniors:
Your final fall season is nearing the end.
Take it all in.
- Cherish your teammates
- Cherish your coaches
- Cherish the bus rides
- Cherish the wins
- Cherish the fun
- Cherish it all
It goes fast.
And before you know it.
It is over.
And you can’t get it back.
‼️Why Kids Quit Sports‼️
70% of children are dropping out of organized sports by the age of 13.
5 main reasons:
1. It’s no longer fun.
2. They have lost ownership of the experience.
3. They don’t get playing time.
4. They are afraid to make mistakes.
5. They feel disrespected.
Therefore…it is our obligation as coaches, parents, and adults to:
1. Create life-giving experience.
2. Instill a “Get to vs. Have to” mentality.
3. Set up value system not based on playing time.
4. Encourage risk…”If you aren’t making mistakes, you aren’t doing anything.”
5. Love BIG!
We need re-capture the gift of sport:
1. Go after the hearts of the kids we serve.
2. Create a joyful space for them to be free to Fail-it is win or learn culture!
3. Use the experience to teach a way of life that transcends the game.
4. Breathe life into who they are becoming!
“Your role doesn’t matter.
Your commitment does.”
Champions don’t care what the role is; they care how well they perform it.
Your role on the team isn’t about recognition.
It’s about responsibility.
