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.

The same coaches people talk crazy about.

Pick up and drop kids off with cars in the yard.
Feed these kids.
Check their grades and talk to teachers.
Hug them when things are bad at home.
Work weekends trying to make your kids successful.
Miss their own kids events.
Are responsible for being in class teaching kids with little to no home training.
Send film to college coaches even though the kid is average.
They LOVE your kids win or lose.

1. Everybody has dreams. I’m in to nightmares.

2. Are you invested in the TEAM?

3. Communication is not good enough, anywhere.

4. There is a big difference between good and great.

Sheesh!

[Chandler Hovik @CoachHovik]

Honest question… Are there any communities outside the South Side/Laveen where kids are being bused out by other districts? I know we have the smartest, toughest and most athletic kids and apparently Tempe Union district knows this as well 🤔 #ChavezMade

[Frank Martin @coachFMartin]

Watching grassroot basketball for the last month and one thing sticks out to me. Every time somebody makes a three they go into their own celebration. I’ve only seen one guy who points at whoever passed him the ball.
This game is about “us” not about “me “
We need to help young people create habits that fit that

[Steve Collins @TeachHoopsBBall]

Coaching isn’t a job. It’s a calling.
You shape futures—not just as athletes, but as people.
You teach kids to handle setbacks, make sacrifices, and show up for each other.
The court is just the classroom. The real test is life.
