@TeeTimesPub I loathe Phil, but this take is 💯.

Great assistant coaches can’t apply for jobs they never see

5,318 coaching jobs are live on CoachBridge right now

Multi-sport 585
Football 584
Basketball 561
Volleyball 536
Track & Field 448
Soccer 429

Most coaching jobs never reach the right candidates
because they’re never seen

Spread the word so more coaches see them

[C_Mac_40 @C_Mac_40]

@mark_slapinski There are zero CREDIBLE reports that any of this nonsense is true. 🤦‍♂️

The Parent Poison…

Most parents want the best for their kids.

But sometimes, without realizing it, they slowly poison the very team their child is part of.

It rarely starts with something dramatic.
It starts small.

A comment in the car ride home.
“Why didn’t the coach play you more?”

A comparison.
“You’re better than that kid.”

A quiet complaint at the dinner table.
“That coach doesn’t know what he’s doing.”

Kids hear everything.

And when they hear it, something changes.

Doubt creeps in.
Blame grows.
Trust fades.

The mindset shifts from team first to me first.

What begins in the living room eventually shows up in the locker room.

You see it in body language.
You hear it in conversations.
You feel it in the culture.

Instead of unity, there are whispers.
Instead of accountability, there are excuses.
Instead of growth, there is resentment.

Great teams cannot survive that environment.

Because the best teams are built on three things:

Trust.
Sacrifice.
Shared purpose.

When players start believing the problem is everyone else, those things disappear.

Parents play a powerful role in a team’s culture whether they realize it or not.

The healthiest teams have parents who:

Support the program.
Encourage resilience.
Teach their kids to handle adversity.

They remind their children:

Work harder.
Be a great teammate.
Control what you can control.

They don’t feed excuses.
They build character.

And here’s the truth most people miss:

A parent’s influence extends far beyond their own child.

It affects the locker room.
It affects the culture.
It affects the entire team.

Great teams require unity, not whispers of criticism.

So the challenge for parents is simple.

Be the adult in the room.

Guard your words.
Model respect.
Support the team.

Because what starts at home always finds its way onto the court, the field, or the locker room.

And the best parents don’t poison the culture.

They protect it.
