@CoachMarcusHill As a basketball coach at a small school my thought is the fastest way for players to get better is to get bigger, faster, stronger. Each kid will like different sports, different amounts but it’s about the kids not us as coaches. Share your athletes and build your culture.

@mattmikkelsen @_girltalk Not much to see here, only foul I saw was on last finish.

Ben McCollum shares what it feels like to be around first-place people and a first-place culture.

"I went to Northwest Missouri State, and my first practice with Steve Tapmeyer - best coach I've ever been around - I sat there and I'm like, 'This is what first place feels like. This is what a first-place culture feels like. This is what first-place people feel like.'"

That was the wake-up call. He realized what first-place people have:
"They've got an extreme work ethic. They've got an edge to 'em that other people don't - a competitive spirit."

Then he quoted John Thompson:
"You can tame a fool a lot quicker than you can resurrect a corpse...We want guys with a little edge to 'em."

You can coach skills, but you can't coach competitive spirit. You don't want to consistently coach their effort and attitude.

The last thing they look for: Energy givers.
"Over the years, we found that guys that are moody don't make it in our program."

"If you're moody, if you have low energy, if you suck the life out of the building - you don't make it."

Talent isn't enough. Your energy matters. Your attitude matters.

Successful people have a competitive edge, they bring energy, and they look to consistently get better.

They raise the standard through what they do.

This video is 6 minutes long, but it's worth every second.
Before the selection show, Jan Jensen surprised her Hawkeye team with a custom shoe, designed by superfan and honorary Hawkeye, Harper Stribe!
The Hawkeye team had no idea this was coming!

@IHSAA please tell me your looking into a multiplier for next year. 25% of private schools in class 3a made state this year, 10% of public.20% of 1a private schools made state this year .03% of public made state. 66% of private schools in 2a made state!! 4% of public made it.

I am in no way arguing as I have not dug deep enough into the numbers to figure out the whys but seeing 4 teams from private schools in the 1a and 2a finals is making me think about what could be done differently?

[Kyle Stribe @KyleStribe]

7 football classes to 4 for basketball. Why not add a 5th class like girls?? Just all questions in my head. Coaching at a small school like Baxter how can more schools our size have a chance to play at state?
