Parents during basketball season…”tired of this BS, can’t wait for AAU season!” Parents during AAU season, “ tired of this BS can’t wait til the high school season.” 😂😂😂
Parents, there is NOTHING beneficial that can come from yelling or “coaching from the stands”. Nothing. It’s not the time or place. It negatively affects your child, the other players, & the team in general. There’s a time & place for most things….that isn’t one of them! There’s never been a game won by a parent coaching from the stands but I’m willing to say there have been some lost.
A teacher says we are in a “crisis mode”in American schools, and talks about how lack of reading skills and fear of embarrassment leads to discipline issues, which leads to more educational issues.
Penny for y’all’s thoughts.

They will reclassify, play 5-6 years of travel ball, 4 years in high school, attend every clinic & camp in the country, have HUDL, Twitter, and every other resource at their disposal, then go post-grad, and the adults in their lives will still swear they are slept on.
For all the baseball gurus that want middle and high school kids to only focus on one sport, take a look at the guy who just hit 61 home runs high school stats. Willing to die on this hill. Encourage kids to play multiple sports!
Playing multiple sports in high school is a good thing. Some of the best pros in the world didn’t specialize in high school.
Being well-rounded is important. Student council, music, arts, working.. Do many things in high school to build a well-rounded foundation for your future.
As adults, we need to stop 'stealing the struggle' from our kids. When we 'steal the struggle', we steal their opportunity for growth & learning.
We need to prepare them for the path (teach resilience, reflection, and self-respect), but we can't prepare the path for them.
PLAYERS:
Basketball is NOT an equal opportunity sport. Better shooters will almost always get more shots. Better ball handlers will have the ball more often. Better decision makers will be in at the end of the game along with better FT shooters. If you want to be better, earn it.
