Why Coaching Is Harder Than People Think (A Holiday Reminder)…

Because coaching isn’t just about plays, drills, or game nights.

It’s about people.

It’s about walking into practice every day and managing emotions you didn’t create but are responsible for.

Your own.
Your players.
Your assistants.
Parents.
Administrators.
Fans.

It’s about teaching kids who are all at different stages.

Different maturity levels.
Different confidence levels.
Different home situations.

And somehow holding them to the same standards while still meeting them where they are.

It’s about decisions that look simple from the stands but feel heavy from the sideline.

Who plays.
When.
Why.
How you communicate it.

And how that decision might land on a 16-year-old who ties their identity to minutes.

It’s about losing sleep over kids who won’t buy in.

Over conversations you need to have.

Over mistakes you replay in your head long after everyone else moved on.

It’s about being judged by people who see the outcome, not the process.

The scoreboard, not the hours.

The result, not the relationships.

And yet, you show up again.

You plan. You teach. You model. You care.

As the season slows and the holidays arrive, this is the reminder:

What you do matters.

Even when it goes unseen.
Even when it feels heavy.
Even when it’s hard.

Coaching is about influence. And influence lasts longer than any season.

That’s why coaching is harder than people think. And also why it matters so much.

As the year winds down, I hope you find a little rest, a little perspective, and a lot of pride in the work you’re doing.

🎄Happy Holidays, Coach.

Dawn Staley on what she told Tessa Johnson to help her get in a groove in the 2nd quarter:

"I've given her a nickname. I said it's 3ssa. 3-ssa. 3... ssa. So when she was going through the slump, I said 'You back to Tessa.'"

Today I had an eye appointment and I had the best technician I think I have ever had! Former player of mine Vanessa Alexander from the class of 2020. So fun seeing former players excelling in their careers!

[Alan Stein, Jr. @AlanSteinJr]

Coach Pat Summitt was as good of a coach (and leader) as we’ve ever seen in any sport. Her standards apply to every area of life and are equally impactful in business!
