Why hire an athlete?

Many people aren’t great at working with others. Athletes work as a team every day.

Rules and expectations are tough to follow for some. Athletes create team standards and hold themselves and their teammates accountable.

Many people struggle to present, perform, and produce in front of others. Athletes perform in front of hundreds every game.

Many people today don’t want to show up, work, and produce. Athletes not only understand the required work but they know they gain their advantage by doing extra work on their own.

Finding life balance and having healthy habits is difficult for many people. Athletes consistently achieve excellence on the court/field, in the classroom, in the community and in their relationships. Athletes eat with a purpose, value rest/sleep, and take care of themselves.

Many people struggle to respond to authority. Athletes embrace working with those who demand excellence and push them to their limits.

Many people struggle to show up on time for one thing each day. Athletes show up on time for many things every day.

Athletes aren’t built the same as others. They are independent but team-oriented. They are hard-working but balanced. They have killer-instinct but are loving. They value individual performance but within the concept of team success.

Hire athletes and watch your company take off! 🚀

The benefits of well-managed high school athletics:

1. Sports teams serve as the front porch and brand of the school. They are the reason for a school mascot, school song, and pep rallies. Sports create tradition.

2. Athletics serve as the largest and most successful at-risk program for a school. Playing sports provides purpose, discipline, motivation, and structure for those who may not get it at home. Sports requires successful academic performance to be eligible.

3. The local community connects with the school district through sports. Athletes are discussed and celebrated in the local newspaper, on the radio, and on the news.

4. Fundraising: Booster clubs raise money providing everything from meals and uniforms to facility enhancements and travel expenses.

5. The student experience for non-athletes is enhanced because of athletics. The student body comes together to cheer and support their school enhancing school unity and togetherness. The band, cheerleaders, dance team, choir, and others have increased opportunities and a platform to showcase their talents on game days.

6. Sports creates and enhances tradition. Alumni come back for homecoming games and more to support and feel connected with their past. This valuable engagement enhances school support and creates fundraising opportunities.

7. Sports teach accountability to athletes. Playing requires successful academic performance to be eligible.

8. Athletics is the reason for a school mascot, school song & pep rallies.

Many prioritize winning over growth and development.
Sadly, in sports, the pursuit of victory often comes at the cost of meaningful personal progress & character development.
Let's not forget the journey and what it teaches us along the way.
Coach the player - teach the person.

"No one is bigger than the team. You're going to be on time, you're going play hard, you're going to know your job and you're going to know when to pass and shoot. If you can't do those four things you're not getting time here."- Hubie Brown

[Pat Basil @pbasilstrength]

Something I've noticed

The athletes that make the most progress in 4 years are the ones who commit to training hard over the summer and breaks

It's not sets, reps, exercises variations, or methods

It's consistency and commitment to training

That's the secret

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

"Players need to buy into 3 things:

1. The coach

2. The system

3. The mission"

- Doc Rivers

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Players: To be successful you must be ultra competitive. To be competitive you have to take risks & be willing to learn. Being afraid to fail, afraid to look foolish, afraid of embarrassment will cripple you as a player. Afraid has no place in sports! Find your drive & compete!

[Andrew K @CoachKurzawski]

One of the biggest challenges for me as a HS coach coming from college coaching is teaching HS players HOW to play the game without plays, when things break down, recognizing mismatches, etc. Because kids don’t play as much pickup ball, they fail to recognize essential reads.

"That's what competing is. It's a hunger that you have to chase the accomplishment that you want as a group. That's competing. Every practice. Every game. Every time that you're out there and fighting to not have that hunger be dulled for anything. Not for anything."-Kara Lawson

PLAYERS: Paying attention to somebody is a sign of respect. You might disagree w/the person, be bored, frustrated, or dislike what's being said, but you can still show respect & demonstrate what kind of CHARACTER YOU HAVE. It says more about YOU than it does the person talking.

[Julius V. @JuliusVElite0]

Players! I’m sorry to break this to you, but regardless of how bad of a coach you think your Head Coach is he is running the show. He dictates your playing time. Unfortunately if you don’t do what he says you will NOT play. It’s that simple. Fight your battles wisely.

[Chris Fore @chriscfore]

Heard a great quote today from an Administrator I work with: “Culture is defined by the worst behavior we tolerate.” I really like that.

[Julius V. @JuliusVElite0]

Guys don’t want to be held accountable for anything. Everything can’t be the coach’s fault. Getting out rebounded & getting blown by has nothing to do with coach. The coach not letting you dribble the air out the ball has nothing to do with not being in the right help spots.

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

Being coachable means you are willing to consider feedback even if you don't like what you hear. It means resisting the urge to make excuses or get defensive when challenged. Getting better is more important than your ego. You'd rather get it right than be right!!
