“Bad leaders see smart people as threats. Good leaders see them as force multipliers. The strongest builders don’t protect their ego — they weaponize the experience around them.” #LIFERS

Numbers-Commas-Decimals ain’t nothing compared to the relationships you invest in as a Coach. Don’t lose focus of the MAIN THING.

Seattle Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald - What Players Want

- "Players want to be coached. They want a connection. They want a coach that trusts/believes in them & to teach them the stuff that works. They want to be challenged but you have to build a relationship first to challenge guys the right way."

[Savai’i Eselu @CoachSavaii]

Keep on building uso! Congratulations!

Arizona is elevating Lyle Moevao to running backs coach. Moevao was the Wildcats' quarterbacks coach last season and moved into an assistant running backs role under Alonzo Carter.

Arizona OC Seth Doege said Moevao is "a tremendous teacher."

Why Coaching Is Harder Than People Think (A Holiday Reminder)…

Because coaching isn’t just about plays, drills, or game nights.

It’s about people.

It’s about walking into practice every day and managing emotions you didn’t create but are responsible for.

Your own.
Your players.
Your assistants.
Parents.
Administrators.
Fans.

It’s about teaching kids who are all at different stages.

Different maturity levels.
Different confidence levels.
Different home situations.

And somehow holding them to the same standards while still meeting them where they are.

It’s about decisions that look simple from the stands but feel heavy from the sideline.

Who plays.
When.
Why.
How you communicate it.

And how that decision might land on a 16-year-old who ties their identity to minutes.

It’s about losing sleep over kids who won’t buy in.

Over conversations you need to have.

Over mistakes you replay in your head long after everyone else moved on.

It’s about being judged by people who see the outcome, not the process.

The scoreboard, not the hours.

The result, not the relationships.

And yet, you show up again.

You plan. You teach. You model. You care.

As the season slows and the holidays arrive, this is the reminder:

What you do matters.

Even when it goes unseen.
Even when it feels heavy.
Even when it’s hard.

Coaching is about influence. And influence lasts longer than any season.

That’s why coaching is harder than people think. And also why it matters so much.

As the year winds down, I hope you find a little rest, a little perspective, and a lot of pride in the work you’re doing.

🎄Happy Holidays, Coach.

High school football coaches might have the most important job in any community and it’s overlooked. They set the culture for the largest group of young men in a school. If they build good men, not just wins, that ripple hits families, schools, and the whole community.

[Tyler Tomei @TomeiTyler]

Seems like Cal is going younger and Bay Area focused. I like this vision as I’ve always kinda believed you need Bay Area/Cal people to make this program work.

[Savai’i Eselu @CoachSavaii]

Absolutely truth!! 💯

[Thad Wells @ThadWells]

The further you are from God the worse coach you will be.

The Holy Spirit literally gives you the power you need to impact those you've been called to serve.

Understand this. Act on this. Or learn the hard way.

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

Jesus is the answer.

[Savai’i Eselu @CoachSavaii]

Always trying to find ways to level up my ability to outreach through coaching. The motive has to be right to truly impact in the coaching realm…and Coach Thad Wells is doing some seismic activity from his base camp! Blessed & a blessing! 🤙🏽 🤙🏽

[Thad Wells @ThadWells]

In 1998, Bill Walsh released all his secrets in one book.

It developed a cult following, but most coaches never read it—it's out of print and sells for $500+ online.

I'm giving my SIGNED copy away for free!
