Started right out of HS cause I stunk as a player lol. Always loved the x/o part of it. When I figured out it was so much more and the relationships I think/hope I got better! Not a teacher but have time. Also never played line but have been coaching line 15+yrs of 27
Since getting more involved on social media, one of my favorite things has been hearing the unique stories of coaches from across the country when they DM me!
"What’s your Coaching story?
What made you want to get into Coaching?"
I wish everyone could see how well this young man is representing our community up here in Massillon. He makes me proud to say where I’m from.
I’m beyond thankful for one more ride. Let’s go make some memories kid

Parents: If your child can't find 30 mins outside team practice to work on their game daily, then they're just interested in success and they're not really committed.
Which is OK.
Just help them find the thing/sport they are interested in and will commit too.
"Your job as a coach is to coach your players.
If their parents and their friends are getting mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents and better friends."
Coaches aren't calling you out.
They're calling you up!
Build connections so they hear the corrections.
Of course your club coach is going to tell you how amazing you are, how your HS coach is hating on you and how they can “get you to the next level”. You keep paying them thousands of dollars every year to be on their team…
Kids don’t care where you coached, who you coached or how many degrees you have. They just want a coach who truly cares about them & knows how to make learning the game a lot of fun! They absorb more & it’s so much more meaningful when they’re enjoying it than when they aren’t!
The lineup is set! Outstanding HFCs and legends! Program building, successes, failures, what makes good assistants, how can assistants support an HFC? Members Only. Dues paid before or at the door! Thurs, Mar 19!!
Growth. Leadership. #HeartofDYT
The greatest leaders I’ve been around were all able to say…”I don’t know the answer, but I’ll figure it out”. Too many leaders have to be the “smartest” in the room at all times, and that’s just not always the case….humility wins. Always.

Jumping straight into AAU after a long high school season is both unsafe & irresponsible. Programs that truly care about the mental and physical health of their players understand this. Rest & recovery are essential for real growth. Basketball should challenge athletes - but it shouldn’t be a nonstop, year-round marathon.
Excited to announce our first confirmed coaches for March 19! Talking with a few more! HFCs talking successes, failures, programs and what they need from a good assistant! A night of learning, networking and leadership!
