Hills I will die on as someone who has coached high school football for over 29 years:

1. If you are not PASSIONATE about blessing, serving, and empowering those you are blessed to coach, this profession is not for you.

2. As much as we need to know our trade, getting to know (and to love), our players is far more important.

3. This is an INTENSE game, and it’ll never be “just a game”, but it IS a game. Remember that when you’re with your team, and more importantly, remember that when you’re with your family.

4. Just as we teach our athletes to “leave things better than they found them”, we need to leave our athletes better than they were when they first entered into our program. Never let a day pass without pouring into each and every individual.

5. Life is complicated enough, let’s not complicate the game in such a way that we take the joy of it away from others. In other words… Keep it simple.

6. Our words carry little (or NO), value, if we don’t practice what we preach. WE as coaches should be learning and growing each and every day, just as we expect our athletes to.

7. As much as we all want to win those championship rings for our athletes, make sure you don’t lose your wedding ring in the process.

8. The athlete that may be “difficult to reach/teach” (the one who may get on your last nerve more than you could ever imagine), is someone’s EVERYTHING. Get to know them as human beings, find out what motivates them, and do everything you can to help them to thrive.

9. Be where your feet are. Don’t fall into the trap of chasing logos and thinking that a higher division, a bigger school, or going from HS to college, or even college to the pros, is going to be more rewarding or fulfilling.

10. The legacy you leave as a coach will never be determined by your wins and losses, but by the lives you were able to change for the better!

INTENTION changes everything!

Two athletes. Same starting point. Same exact program.
But one keeps improving… and the other stays stuck.
Why?

Athlete A is just going through the motions. Showing up because they have to. Checking the box.

Athlete B shows UP. Every rep has purpose. Every drill has focus. Every session has effort behind it.

That’s the difference between average and elite.

If you want to become an elite athlete, don’t just be present; be intentional. Work hard. Compete. Show up with purpose.

This post put together by performwithpete needs to be seen by as many athletes and coaches as possible! Amazing visual and an important lesson on how to maximize every training session. Over a thousand training sessions INTENT becomes the difference between success and knowing you could have been more!

@Toohey_sp Looking for flooring, what kind of flooring did you use? Do you have a brand or website for it?

The NFL player intros are gonna look a whole lot different when all these college players who are transferring every year get in the league 😭😭😭

[Melanie Redd Performance Training @coach_mel_redd]

Most HS athletes will benefit more from consistently lifting moderate weight 2-3 times a week over 4 years than they would occasionally dropping in to team lifts & lifting as much weight as they can.

Because what most HS kids need is movement quality which requires consistency.

[Jeremy Toohey @Toohey_sp]

The soccer ⚽️ community still pushes back on the value of the weight room. But here’s what I’ve seen over the years.

The youth soccer players who’ve had the most success with longevity, physical development, and reaching higher levels trained year-round with a focus on strength and plyometrics.

Every player I’ve seen suffer a major injury had one thing in common. Their training came in spurts. They either stopped lifting once the season started or didn’t train at all outside of practices and games. Eventually their physical foundation broke down once match volume piled up.

It’s time for coaches and clubs to take an honest look at the playing volume being placed on young athletes. Instead of fearing resistance training, we should be promoting strength work that helps them handle the demands of the schedule, stay healthy, and continue developing season after season.

@CoachPorterJP3 How did you handle block scheduling with 90mins every day with Volleyball, Soccer and Softball? Volleyball and Girls Soccer will have multiple games every week starting when school starts. Thoughts?
