What athletes hear matters.

Confidence.
Effort.
Team.
Accountability.

Say it often. Say it clearly.

@JeffBarnes52 It's a fair sentiment. But have to consider that players may only get 1-2 years at a varsity. A coach may have 30 seasons. No parent wants their kid to be the mistake a coach learns from. Coaches and ADs have a higher bar.

@GregBerge Yes. Head Coach, not dictator, not only coach.

[Matt Zink @Stryder_33]

Interesting read. Boils down to a monopoly not wanting competition and suggesting using monopoly power to shut it down. These sports academies are not a true threat and likely fail on their own due to lack of numbers. Better to focus on making your product better.

🚨🚨🚨 A great message from Nick Saban about transformational leadership:

"I think you have a greater chance to lose your team when you're transactional as a leader. Which is the way I was until 1998. In other words, everything was about winning or losing.”
