Facilities alone do not create success, discipline, or culture. But facilities absolutely communicate priorities. They communicate where investment is being made and which communities are being supported.

[Michael Stroup 🏴‍☠️🌊 @CoachStroup]

Everybody wants Friday night success… until it’s time to invest in the programs that feed it.

For example, middle school athletics are not separate from the high school program — they ARE the foundation of it. If the middle school and high school aren’t aligned philosophically, schematically, and culturally, you’re building a house on sand.

The best programs are connected from the bottom up:
• Same expectations
• Same standards
• Same language
• Same vision

When middle school programs refuse to collaborate or operate independently because of ego, arrogance, or “this is how I do it,” the high school program eventually pays the price.

Administrations has to see the big picture. Stop making easy hires just to fill a spot. Hire coaches who can TEACH, LEAD, DEVELOP, and WORK WITH PEOPLE.

Here’s the reality:
If schools hired teachers the way some coaches are hired, parents would send 10,000 more emails than they currently do over bad teachers.

But in athletics, people sometimes ignore:
• inability to communicate
• inability to work with others
• lack of organization
• refusal to align
• failure to develop kids

Then years later everybody wonders why the high school program struggles.

The best high school programs are built long before Friday nights ever arrive.
