Please share this with every youth athlete you know!

This is my son Jack in the picture, but I've encouraged all 3 of my kids to read these 28 mindsets, approaches, and affirmations as often as possible:

1. I strive to play well, not to avoid mistakes.

2. I focus on the process (footwork & form), not the outcome (makes & misses).

3. I work on my game during The Unseen Hours.

4. I Play Present and focus on the play right in front me (the one that just happened).

5. I display confident body language, even when I don’t feel confident.

6. I quickly move to the Next Play after a turnover, missed shot, or a bad call.

7. I use encouraging self-talk to coach myself through challenging situations.

8. I focus on what I can control and let everything else go.

9. I trust my abilities, talents, and preparation.

10. I embrace adverse conditions.

11. I am not afraid to fail… it’s part of the process.

12. I acknowledge that how I think affects how I feel and how I perform.

13. I visualize myself playing well before every practice and game.

14. I listen to (and trust) my coaches.

15. I am the teammate I want to play with.

16. I welcome pressure situations because I know I am prepared.

17. I practice (and work out) with the intensity and focus of a game.

18. I am calm when things feel chaotic.

19. I don’t let physical fatigue cause mental fatigue.

20. I am comfortable being uncomfortable.

21. I think like a champion daily. A consistent mind creates consistent performance.

22. I visualize success: I see it, I feel it, and I believe it.

23. I have a consistent pre-practice and pre-game routine.

24. I embrace challenges and obstacles as opportunities.

25. I compete every play and I compete every day.

26. I learn from every mistake and every loss.

27. I work on my mental and physical skills every day.

28. I love hard work and I take pride in doing difficult things well.

NOTE: nearly every one of these mindsets, approaches, and affirmations can be used by adults as well!

Being a Head Coach is HARD Work.

I have talked to MANY coaches over my long career.

Here are 9 Things Coaches Want Parents to Understand.

1: We CARE about your Child
Even if your child doesn’t get much varsity playing time, we care about them. Nothing is ever personal. We love your child. Everyone has a Role. They are all different. But they are all important. Help us celebrate their role.

2: TIME
There are only two people who understand the time commitment of a coach. The Coach and their Spouse. We are always “on,” constantly thinking about our team. We sacrifice our Family time to be with your child. We don’t need a pat on the back. Just respect this fact.

3: We LOVE this job.
But it is a hard job. Please don’t steal our Joy. Our Passion. Our Commitment. We are losing too many coaches. Help Support us.

4: Coaches want to WIN more than you do.
We are very competitive. We put our heart and soul into this job. We are not perfect. Either are you. No one is. Strategy or X’s and O’s matter much less than you think. We are at practice every day. Trust what we see and do.

5: Everything is EARNED.
You get what you earn. Don’t blame the coach. Encourage your child to be committed. It is your child’s job to get in the weight room, shoot in the driveway, go to the gym or field, etc. Encourage them to do this. You get what you earn.

6: Trust the PROCESS
Team Sports are the ultimate lab setting for life. There will be bumps in the road. It is guaranteed. It is part of the process. Accept this fact. Trust the Process. The life lessons learned will last a lifetime.

7: Winning is HARD
Other teams want to win too. Other teams put time in too. Other teams compete too. The season is a grind, and the process is more important than the prize. Learning how to win…and how to lose…is an important part of this process.

8: Your child GETS it.
Your child understands. They are at every practice. They know their strengths. They know their weaknesses. They know their role. Don’t feed their youthful insecurities by questioning the coach. This will hurt their experience and the team.

9: Finally, and Most Importantly, this is your child’s experience, not yours.
This is important. Let them enjoy the experience with your support. Don’t judge them. Don’t be critical. Just be there. Tell them you LOVE watching them play. Be a fan of the TEAM.
