SAY IT ONE MORE TIME FOR THE PEOPLE NOT PAYING ATTENTION!!

10 Inconvenient Truths of Coaching

1. Not every kid wants to be great.

2. You will often be misunderstood.

3. Some parents care more about playing time than team success.

4. Your best players aren’t always your best leaders.

5. No system works without buy-in.

6. Success brings criticism, too.

7. Culture isn’t built in a week; it’s built daily.

8. You can’t coach every player the same way.

9. Wins don’t always reflect your impact.

10. The job takes more from you than it gives… until years later.

Still worth every second.
Still a great profession.

CHAMPIONS MINDSET

Never complain about something that you’re not willing to change.

Easiest thing in the world to do is to complain, blame, quit, and settle.

Frank Dick on reframing success.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Geno Auriemma shares how he explains success to his players and why showing up isn't enough.

"If you go to class and you do average work, you're gonna get a C. That's why it's called average."

"If you want a B, you have to do more work. If you want an A, you have to do even more work and you have to give up stuff."

You get what you earn in life.

"You have to sacrifice. Maybe you can't do all the things that everybody else does."

It means if you want more then you have to be willing to do more.

"If you're just happy getting Bs all your life, there's nothing wrong with that either. But you're never gonna get the satisfaction of what it feels like to get an A."

Then he connected it to basketball:
"If you just wanna be average, then you do average work. If you wanna be a little bit above average then you do a little more work."

"If you wanna get As in basketball, then you gotta do stuff that other people aren't willing to do - especially if you have the talent like we do. We have talent."

It means bring a mindset of excellence to everything that you do. Excellence isn't the goal - it's the standard you set.

Then he called out the entitlement problem:
"Some of these younger guys coming out of high school, man, they wanna show up and go, 'I'm here. Where's my 3.7?'"

"Like my father used to say, 'I got your 3.7 right here.'"

Showing up doesn't earn you anything. Doing the work does.

You get the grade you earn - in school, in basketball, and in life.

It's easy to be average...successful people look to compete in everything they do.

Parents, your son is playing football on Friday nights right now

College coaches are in the stands. Some of them your son doesn't even know about.

Here is what they are watching beyond the game:

How does he warm up?
Is he locked in or goofing around?
What does he do on the sideline when he is not in the game?
How does he respond when a coach gets on him?
Does he pick up a teammate after a bad play?
What does he do after a loss?

Coach Prime says he wishes some WR trainers would call an athlete’s school to get on the same page about what’s being coached in the offseason.

“Ain’t nobody throwing you the ball with all that.”

“We should be partnering on helping this kid succeed and get to the next level.”

The past that shapes the present in 🏈 and in life.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

High school athletes: these ARE the good old days.

The team dinners.
The early mornings.
The bus rides.
The big wins.
The tough losses.

One day, you’ll wish you could get one of these days back. Don’t wait until it’s over to appreciate it.

Soak it in now.

COST ASSOCIATED WITH LEADERSHIP

"Have to make hard decisions that'll negatively affect people you care about...

Be disliked despite your best attempt to do the best for the most...

Be misunderstood and not always have the opportunity to defend yourself."

"Practice habits are game reality." @RealCharlieWard

The game doesn’t create your habits.
It reveals them.
Your performance is simply your preparation made public.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

A winner embraces their role and does whatever it takes to help their team be successful.

“I don’t believe you practice poorly and then just play great on game day. I don’t believe that happens and it won’t happen over the course of time,” Lane Kiffin

You can’t prepare below the standard and expect to perform above it.

“If you want to be good, you really don’t have a lot of choices because it takes what it takes. You have to do what you have to do to be successful. You have to make choices and have the discipline, focus on the process of what you need to do to accomplish your goals,” Nick Saban
