Well stated @GregBerge! Merry Christmas to all the coaches who are giving of themselves to care about and make an impact on the lives of their athletes. You are needed now more than ever.

Why Coaching Is Harder Than People Think (A Holiday Reminder)…

Because coaching isn’t just about plays, drills, or game nights.

It’s about people.

It’s about walking into practice every day and managing emotions you didn’t create but are responsible for.

Your own.
Your players.
Your assistants.
Parents.
Administrators.
Fans.

It’s about teaching kids who are all at different stages.

Different maturity levels.
Different confidence levels.
Different home situations.

And somehow holding them to the same standards while still meeting them where they are.

It’s about decisions that look simple from the stands but feel heavy from the sideline.

Who plays.
When.
Why.
How you communicate it.

And how that decision might land on a 16-year-old who ties their identity to minutes.

It’s about losing sleep over kids who won’t buy in.

Over conversations you need to have.

Over mistakes you replay in your head long after everyone else moved on.

It’s about being judged by people who see the outcome, not the process.

The scoreboard, not the hours.

The result, not the relationships.

And yet, you show up again.

You plan. You teach. You model. You care.

As the season slows and the holidays arrive, this is the reminder:

What you do matters.

Even when it goes unseen.
Even when it feels heavy.
Even when it’s hard.

Coaching is about influence. And influence lasts longer than any season.

That’s why coaching is harder than people think. And also why it matters so much.

As the year winds down, I hope you find a little rest, a little perspective, and a lot of pride in the work you’re doing.

🎄Happy Holidays, Coach.

Athletes how are you doing with the first few weeks of summer training?

[Adam Winters @ajw22]

@coachajkings Strong thread - good work.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Steve Sarkisian said, "Culture beats talent, if your culture is really strong. Culture is organic. It's not a sign up in your building, it's not a t-shirt you wear."

Your culture is what you do.

A great culture prevent bad habits from creeping in.

This past weekend, Tyce Porcher finished 6th in his weight class in the FHSAA state weightlifting finals! This is the second sport Tyce has made it to state in this year with high hopes to also advance to track state finals in pole vault.

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

Winning a high school state championship is special.
The players go to school with each other, in most cases for years, parents know each other, and it means something to the community.
High school athletics bring people together and form a bond forever.
High school athletics can't be replaced.
