TL;DR 8 Realities of a Coach

1️⃣ It will consume you
2️⃣ There will always be critics
3️⃣ You’re not in it for the money
4️⃣ There is no overnight success
5️⃣ You need a supportive spouse
6️⃣ You won’t make everyone happy
7️⃣ You can’t want it more than the kids
8️⃣ It’s still worth it

@GopherVBall @NCAAVolleyball @GopherSports @B1GVolleyball She is also an amazing person. She is my daughters volleysqauad "sister". We couldn't ask for a better mentor to give Ellie someone to look up to! Congrats Pheobe.

@CoachKBooth Couldn’t agree more. As a dad of vb players, HS head coach, and club coach, I see the burnout and also feel it myself. Let’s finish nationals in May!!

Wow.

If you are to watch one video this morning, watch this.

Pete Buttigieg perfectly explains why Billionaires in Silicon Valley now support Trump and why J.D. Vance has flip flopped to liking Trump.

Man the jokes write themselves 🤣🤣🤣 Biden says it “you say that at any other job you’re fired.” Trump says it “he’s messed up that’s all” unserious people.

Coaching requires holding your most talented players accountable when their actions negatively affect the team.

In preparation for the 2008 Olympics, Kobe Bryant, the Captain of the USA Basketball Team, started to play in a manner that was hurting the group.

LeBron James and Dwayne Wade looked at their Head Coach, Coach K, and asked him what he would do about it.

Coach K said, “I’ll take care of it.”

He didn’t want to confront the legendary superstar, but he knew it was necessary.

This is how he handled it…
