[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Being a Head Coach is Hard Work.

After 30 years of conversations with coaches, here are…

9 Things Coaches Want Parents to Understand:

1️⃣ We CARE about your child.
Even if they don’t get much playing time, we value them. Everyone has a role, and every role matters. Help us celebrate their contributions.

2️⃣ Coaching takes TIME.
Only coaches and their spouses truly understand the commitment. We sacrifice family time for your child. We don’t need applause - just respect.

3️⃣ We LOVE what we do.
But it’s a tough job. Please help us keep our joy. Coaches are leaving the profession too often. Support us, don’t tear us down.

4️⃣ We want to WIN more than you do.
We’re deeply competitive. We see your child at every practice and base decisions on what’s best for the team. Trust us.

5️⃣ Everything is EARNED.
Playing time isn’t given - it’s earned. Encourage your child to work harder: hit the gym, practice, and commit.

6️⃣ Trust the PROCESS.
Sports are the ultimate lab setting for life. Challenges are part of the journey. The life lessons will last far longer than the scoreboard.

7️⃣ Winning is HARD.
Other teams work hard too. Winning isn’t guaranteed. Learning to win, and lose, with grace is critical.

8️⃣ Your child GETS it.
They understand their role better than you might think. Don’t feed insecurities by questioning the coach - it hurts your child and the team.

9️⃣ This is YOUR CHILD’S experience, not yours.
Let them enjoy it with your full support. Be positive. Be a fan. Tell them you LOVE watching them play.

Let’s work together to create the best experience for your child and the team!

[Grind House Basketball @GrindHouseBB]

PLAYERS looking for a way to earn extra minutes and stay on the floor become a LOCKDOWN DEFENDER 🔒. This is one of the most valuable players you can have because not everyone cares to/wants to play defense. You could suck on offense but being a 🔒 DEFENDER would make you ELITE.

The Wolves' senior class is entering its third together on the varsity, leading to some heightened expectations this winter. https://t.co/V5HVsLlV0f

[Ronda McLin @Coach_McLin]

@RyanAntony22 I feel the same way 😅

[Ronda McLin @Coach_McLin]

This. Life 💯

[Carl Reed Jr. @CoachReedLive]

An OG told me once: They don’t respect you at the bottom, they ignore you in the middle, and they hate you at the top. You’ll never have everyone’s approval. So it’s best to just focus on what you’re doing.

[Ronda McLin @Coach_McLin]

Happy birthday to our Senior Captain, our team’s leader, @a_schmidt20 ! Enjoy your day!
