Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.
Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥
You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.
Hard is the lesson.
What’s one hard lesson sports taught you that helped later in life? 👇
Glue players will always find a role on a team. Kids that play hard, set great screens, share the ball, run the floor hard, work to defend & rebound. TALK! Not a glamorous job but a much needed role.
How often do athletes cheer for their teammates in front of others?
Anyone can criticize.
Anyone can point out mistakes.
But it takes confidence to celebrate someone else’s success.
Great teams understand one thing:
WE > ME
📣 Cheer for your teammates.
Lead out loud.
“The talent is our floor, but our character will determine our ceiling. I’m just so confident in their character, and that’s what determined how they played today.”

Character first. Results second.
I love the “Don’t bring me problems unless you have a solution” idea. It’s easy to point out problems, but it’s much harder, and more important, to have & execute solutions. Anyone can complain things aren’t going their way, but true leaders find ways to make the situation better. Don’t just point out what’s wrong; get creative, research, dig deep, find ways to contribute to the success of the situation.
Great leaders are problem solvers and always evaluating their circumstances.
Use your energy to get better. Don’t waste it on things that do not matter or help.
Evaluate. Find a solution. Act.
The best athletes & leaders have unshakable toughness. They show up and push through all adversity. They’re at their best when their best is needed.
They show up to make those around them better, while striving to get 1% better themselves.
They carry their head high with their chest out no matter what is going on around them.
Show up. Fight through comfort and adversity. Be at your best when your best is needed. Lift those up around you. Get 1% better today.
Proper preparation builds and instills confidence in the result. When you properly prepare, you can freely let go of the outcome because you know the work you have put in.
Take pride in everything that you do. It doesn’t matter how big or how small the task is, take pride in it. Be grateful for the opportunities.
Colossians 3:23 says, “Work WILLINGLY at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”
When you take pride in the work you do, you do things the right way. You give a little more effort. You prepare a little more. You build the consistent habits. All of that compounds into confidence when it is needed most.
When negativity creeps in, talk positive to yourself. Rest peacefully, and with pride, in the confidence of the preparation you put in.

“You guys make it about the wins and losses. 25 years from now, I want them to pick up the phone and call me because they need me. I’m there for them.”
The life of a coach is an investment in people, not just points.
Build a legacy that outlasts the jersey.
They’re here!!! 🏊
The Miami (OH) swim/dive team storms down the bleachers in Speedos, as SMU is about to take a free throw 🤣
Whole crowd goes crazy.
The free throw misses.
