Welcome to the club.

[Coach Jeff Barnes @JeffBarnes52]

As an AD, one of the hardest things I witness our coaches deal with is a parent wanting it more than their child. Coaches use offseason work ethic, skill, athleticism, and what is most valuable to the team when determining playing time.

Parents often hear from their child that the coach does not like them, that it is unfair, or that favorites are being played. In many situations, the harder truth is that the child simply does not love the sport as much as the parent does.

That can lead to parents fighting battles with coaches that their child should be learning to handle themselves. One of the most important lessons sports can teach young people is how to communicate, compete, handle adversity, and advocate for themselves.

Playing time is rarely about one conversation or one moment. It is usually about consistency, effort, preparation, attitude, and trust built over time.

This has become an ongoing trend in sports today. The athletes who grow the most are usually the ones who learn to accept coaching, respond to challenges, and take ownership of their role instead of relying on others to fight their battles for them.

Now we are announcing high school kids transferring to other high schools.

This is getting old and tired really fast.

Weight Room Warrior. Perfect attendance since we started in November. The weight room numbers confirm Ty empties the tank every lift!

[Coach Jeff Barnes @JeffBarnes52]

As an AD, nothing bothers me more than seeing a kid post highlights within an hour after a loss. I get it, that is the world now, but nothing screams me over team louder. Winning matters. So does how you handle losing.

This week’s Weight Room Warriors are Jackson Clapper (2028) & Carter Loughry (2028). Both current Sophomores consistently show up and empty the tank!

Coach: “Why aren’t you coming to team lifts?”

Athlete: “Coach, trust me. I’m lifting at Lifetime Fitness on my own.”

LeBron never did that

[Gerry DeFilippo @Challenger_ST]

NFL combine season is a GREAT reminder

A majority of the best athletes in the world who are very fast are running 4.4-4.5 second 40 yard dashes

So no, you the 15 year old JV superstar is NOT running a 4.4

Shut up and go train more.
