Tomorrow is @GabbyGiffords’ birthday and I want everyone to wish her a happy birthday. I just blocked her so she won't see this, but I know it'll make her happy.

When does the job of a coach end? … If u do it correctly, genuinely, with passion, and with precision and compassion…then the answer is Never.

We coach for life…Because it is a gift… a calling… a duty… a passion… and if done correctly, We literally change the world

Last night(2:30 AM) part of our big tree decided to come down
Took some power lines with it but did not lose electricity, the Power Company came out within 15 min
The electrician came by today and fixed what was left
Now wait in on the tree man

Never Forget:

1) Coaching is Teaching…Without being a great teacher there isn’t great coaching

2) Details matter…those who get bored with details never become a Top 1% coach

3) Who is the most excited to play may be the most important factor if talent equal

4) Every “Guru” will be humbled “See Bill Belichick”

5) Numbers Lie…Look deep into numbers to see where the real truth lies

6) Be Brutally Honest with a degree of empathy and remember “we are what we repeatedly do, not what we say we do”… Don’t preach toughness if you don’t live it …Don’t say “I love all my players” if u create and support lies to dismiss them or bench them or never have a conversation with them again when they transfer or u kick them off…Love travels

7) Did u laugh uncontrollably yesterday? Why not? Take time to laugh… TikTok/Youtube/ Comedy Central… or simply look in the mirror and laugh hard at yourself

Getting ready to post some coaching pictures, this by far one of the best staffs I was fortunate to be a part. A couple of future head coaches, AD’s almost all coached multiple sports and were very successful. We were on an eight year run 108-18 six Region Champions,
