First team meeting of the offseason today. Lots of big grins from lots of girls ready to grind! 20+ girls 8th-11th grade ready to dedicate summer time to continue to build💪🏼🏀 #year3loading
“I need you to lock in stop being distracted right. I BELIEVE in you but YOU’VE got to want this moment. This isn’t my story alright?”
IM READY TO RUN THROUGH A BRICK WALL
Leadership is a lonely position. You can’t be concerned about being liked, what others think, or losing a player. As a head coach, caring and communicating come first. Being transparent fosters respect and trust with everyone. Good context and message from Jon Scheyer.
This is for the coach who’s struggling right now.
We went 0–22 at Pacelli. Every night was heavy. Every doubt was loud.
A few years later—we won a State Championship.
Failure isn’t a death sentence. It’s a prerequisite.
Stay in it. You’re closer than you think.
Every high school basketball game starts the same: 0-0.
What happens next?
- The more disciplined team wins.
- The team that talks the most, rotates on defense, and values every possession wins.
If you’re a young/new coach you need to listen to this. Heck, if you’re a veteran coach, you need to listen to this!
National champ. Grew up in coaching royalty. Struggling like most of us have at one point.
I appreciate his real talk here🫡 #BeYouCoach
An entire generation grew up with this show and now we're adults. It's the closest, most personal show I've ever watched and I genuinely don't believe anything else will ever replicate this emotional connection. Some things don't end you revisit them when you miss who you were.
8 Realities of a High School Coach
1. It will consume you
2. There will be critics
3. You are not in it for the $
4. There is no overnight success
5. You need a supportive spouse
6. You will not make everyone happy
7. You can’t want it more than the kids
8. It is still WORTH it!
Believe me when I say, I would jump out in front of a bullet for Marcus Louis Freeman. Without hesitation.
"People outside of here? Notre Dame Football is 0-2. The offense is great and the defense sucks. It's one person's fault. Buchner it's your fault, Drake it's your fault, it's Coach Freeman's fault.
"It's EVERY person in this rooms fault."
Marcus with a balled fist says:
"You got a Head Coach I swear to God we will go down swinging every day. We got to do it together because that's what 𝒇𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔."
🎥 @ND_HCTI Episode 2.
Rece Davis: "So you're telling me that head-to-head never really came up till they were ranked side by side? That seems to be different from the process of ordering and ranking the teams that you guys go through."
There wasn’t any logic waiting to move UM ahead of ND if Conf championship game outcomes are inconsequential. If Head to head was a factor, you had it all year. This isn’t a serious committee. It’s a made for TV event. Expand and get rid of the committee. BCS was a better formula. For ND, you now know 11-1 is the worst you can do to secure a spot in this current playoff format.
@PGA_Athletics holds the 15-6 over @MinersvilleA after one quarter of play. Hollynn Sampson leads the Lady Cards with 8 points.
Turnovers are getting to Minersville early.
