Many kids won’t get the opportunity to play D1 and become sour grapes, antagonistic and mad people, thinking their coach wronged them. How about being thankful for what God blesses you with. I’m thankful the kids I’ve had the opportunity to coach are grateful, all of them.
“Next time you’re annoyed your coach holds you accountable for effort and attitude and asks that you bring your very best in school, practice and in games day after day... ask yourself this: Would you rather play for a coach that doesn’t care?”
This is how @JayPaterno ‘s father ended his speech at the Bo Schembechler Roast titled, “A Tribute To Bo” in 1990. Say what you will about what happened, but this speech and his words are all class. (Again, excuse the poor audio.) @ShemyScout
The older we get, the smaller our “circle” has to become. It takes faith to get where you’re trying to go in life and some just don’t get it. That’s ok! Remember, some people won’t understand your grind because God didn’t give them your vision. #PressOn
The GREATEST thing about coaching, is that each and every day, we have THOUSANDS of people (who have never coached a day of their lives), who question, judge, and ridicule what we do, telling us how to do OUR jobs, without us ever having to ask!

Life is too short to waste your valuable time with the wrong people. To reach your highest potential, you have to surround yourself with eagles, with people that push you forward, people that make you better, people that help you to soar.

“𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 is what helps you be able to maintain the discipline that you need to have to do what you need to do, when you’re supposed to do it, the way it’s supposed to get done.”

I’ve realized in my own life that happiness isn’t about getting everything you want. It’s about enjoying everything you already have.
