Coaches: As fall sports kick off, don't forget this! There are kids on your team that need you (and your program) more than you need them! Take care of them!!
What a week!!! Nearly 80 youth campers & high school team spent a lot of HOT hours on the turf but man was it worth it! Wrapped up the week with Family Fun Night. Dunk tank & awards! Thanks to all the volunteers & to the Ellettsville Fire Department for filling our dunk tank!

"Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they're making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that's the difference."
Lou Holtz
Coach K didn’t call out Deron Williams or Carlos Boozer in the locker room. He called out Kobe & Bron. The BEST players have to take hard coaching for the TEAM. If the HC can call YOU out and you accept it, the team will follow. It’s coaching. Never personal.
How Coaches Build Relationships with Players:
Learn about their lives
Hold them accountable
Be someone they can trust
Be honest with them
Be empathetic
Believe in them
Encourage growth
Teach life lessons
Support academically & athletically
Listen to them
Appreciate uniqueness
