SLSC - Driven, Prepared, Proud

@fce_123 @CTVNews Out of touch a wee bit are you?

[Coach the Coaches @WinningCoaches]

Yesterday's success or failure shouldn't determine today's effort.

You don't give up when you lose, you don't get complacent when you win.

You keep showing up, keep doing the work.

Hang around two lazy people, you’ll become the third.

Hang around two cheaters, you’ll become the third.

Hang around two dropouts, you’ll become the third.

Hang around two CHAMPIONS, you’ll become the third.

Moral of the story?… Your circle matters!

Great story from Bob Knight about Michael Jordan not setting screens at the 1984 Olympics 🤣🤣🤣

Coaches love T.O.U.G.H players:

Talented, yet humble.
Open to coaching.
Unselfish.
Great team leader.
Hungry to succeed.

We love this mindset. It can be easy to see your child excelling at a young age and go all in. But the reality is that premature specialization almost always leads to burnout and a ruined relationship with the sport as a whole.

@kylesockwell Seem to have come a long way in 23 months. Same women killing it after being vilified at the Olympics. Let’s see who else shows up to join the parade to start the rain in LA😎

@TSNVicRauter @coachdavegg You will be missed! Enjoy your time! It will take curling a bit of time to recover.

Right now, somewhere near you, a parent is calling their 10-year-old a champion. A prodigy. The next one.

They're wrong. And the science proves it.

There are no ten-year-old champions. There are only kids who need space, time and joy to find out who they might become.

I wrote the book on this. Literally.

@Ianwpg @ztisdale I’ll wait….

[Dan Christensen @recruitwithdan]

Coaches don’t just accept jobs.

They move families, routines, and futures.

If your interview process never addresses what daily life in your town and surrounding area actually looks like, you’re asking for uncertainty, and uncertainty kills good hires.

[Wayne Goldsmith @waynegoldcoach]

Nothing works.

A parent asked me: "What's the single best thing I can do for my son? He's 13, he plays football, and I want to help him."

I said: "Do nothing."

She looked puzzled.

"When I say DO NOTHING — I mean stop making his breakfast. Stop cleaning his boots. Stop packing his bag for training. Stop spending money on sports drinks and protein bars that don't work.

Teach him to cook his own breakfast. Show him how to use a washing machine. Stick a checklist on his wall of everything he needs in his bag.

Stop doing the things he can — and should — be doing for himself.

The only thing you really need to give him is the most powerful thing of all: UNCONDITIONAL LOVE."

What's the best "nothing" you can do for your sporting child today?
