Too many kids have been taught that the goal of HS athletics is to achieve an athletic scholarship. When in reality the goal of HS sports is to learn how to be a better person, teammate, communicator & enjoy being a teenager.. something you'll never be able to get back.
Parents: Teach kids that their relationship with their coach is THEIR relationship. They have to take the initiative to work out issues instead of depending on you to do it. Don’t intervene on their behalf unless it’s absolutely necessary. That kind of independence is invaluable.
Players: Be great without being high maintenance. Show up on time, wear the right stuff, be coachable, support your teammates & give 100% every time you play. High maintenance is hard. Coaches love low maintenance players who buy into the process. You’re what makes coaching fun!
2 things among the most difficult to teach to a young team (we have 7 freshmen)—moving with a purpose & patience. Here we get both. The ball gets to the 4th side of the floor & ends with a P&R from @TMikesell23 to @sedonaprince_ (*note the excellent pocket pass)🦆

Dillon Dingler gets picked by the Detroit Tigers with the 38th overall pick (the first pick of Round 2 and the first pick of Day 2). He's the second highest player ever picked out of Stark County after Thurman Munson. @dillondingler17 @JHSbaseball2014
