Accountability is not about calling someone out, playing "gotcha", or controlling someone else. Accountability is about reminding others of standards, goals, and values. Accountability requires trust, love, and respect.
We are absolutely heartbroken about the tragic and senseless death of Ayden Burt early Tuesday morning. We know first hand that she was a wonderful person and a great coach who was passionate about the work she was doing to help the young people in East Texas excel. Our convention is all about celebrating the coaching profession and bringing people together. Ayden was having fun at an offsite networking event with her fellow coaches and what happened is truly unimaginable. To be laughing and sharing stories with her colleagues one moment and fighting for her life the next due to a mindless and heinous act is difficult to comprehend. San Antonio has always been a great host and a safe place for our coaches and it’s why we love coming there. We know the authorities will work tirelessly to find the perpetrators and we are hopeful they will be brought to justice. Meanwhile, our community of coaches is devastated and a loving family is grieving. Our hearts and prayers go out to her family, friends and the Jasper community. On behalf of the entire Texas High School Coaches Association, we will be making a benevolence fund donation to her family to provide additional support during this incredibly difficult time. #THSCAstrong- Joe Martin, Executive Director, Texas High School Coaches Association

Just like you have a list of 40 colleges… they have a list of 40 players in your class & at your position… you have to be #1 on their list to get the offer…

PLAYERS: Just because you work harder than someone else doesn't mean you'll win, get more playing time, be praised, get attention, or achieve your individual goals. But not working hard makes those things nearly impossible in the long run. Be consistent and don't give up.

We had an excellent night with our sub-varsity program! Special thanks to all of our parents, athletes for coming out tonight and our booster club for putting on this event!

One 6 letter word can make a huge difference in a person's day.
Thanks
Try using it when people help you or when they answer a question that you ask. It makes the day go much better!
PARENTS: Don't build your happiness around your kid’s athletic performance. If you get in a bad mood because they played bad, take a break from the game. Your kid needs to have tough performances to learn, not have great performances to make you feel good.
