“Not having fun” is often a cop out. Coaches hear it from players and parents all the time. Instead of stopping there, dig in. Ask the hard questions and find the root cause.

Freshman girls move to 8-0 with a 37-28 win over Rochelle. Up 37-12 in 4th. 1st-3rd quarters played really well. Need to learn how to play entire game. No let up.
Dan Hurley shares a blunt reminder about what it takes to be great.
"If you can't sit through an hour and 15 minute video session...get out of this industry because this is only for the most competitive people."
The film room isn't glamorous. It's tedious, repetitive, and easy to zone out, but that's exactly why it separates.
The ones who consistently work even when it's boring are the same ones who execute when it matters.
Greatness isn't for the interested - it's for the ones who embrace the boredom of consistency.

Brad Underwoood started benching anyone who didn't crash the boards in the second half vs Jackson State. Says it won't be the last time he does that.
"It's what we're trying to do, and making guys do it. And continue to understand that if you don't do it, there is consequences. It's your rear end finds the bench."
Says the #Illini need more on the boards from Tomislav Ivisic, praises Davis and Jakstys.
This is sad. Parent's have to step in and take control of their kid's career. The kid doesn't know, he just wants to please his coaches since "they know what they are talking about."
Most travel ball coaches don't! Some do, and those guys are few and far in between.
Parents, your kid shouldn't be playing year round! They shouldn't be playing 8 games in a weekend, and they shouldn't be used as sacrificial mercenaries to win a 12U fake gold ring for the Coaches trophy case.
I promise you that pro scouts and college coaches don't care about any of that and they aren't giving out scholarships or drafting a player because he was in a 13U pro select Perfect Game gold level showcase where he threw 120 pitches or played 10 games in 3 days.
Spoiler alert, it's a money grab!
If they are good enough, they will be seen when it is time!
Take care of your kids and give them 2-3 months off a year!

The Toronto Raptors are training at the ASB GlassFloor Athletes Lab in Orlando and I got to say, the technology is MINDBLOWING.
Using LED lights to change to any court you want (even the NBA Cup courts), to drawing up X’s and O’s that show up on the court. 😳
Future is here.
The problem? The problem is too many people accepting average from themselves and others instead of encouraging and demanding excellence.
There is a "Mountain of Average" in this world. Do not be part of it. Do not accept it.
Parents.
Take your kids to the 7:00 of this presser. After the 2005 season ended in the national title game, Cook pulls DBK in to tell her she can’t set anymore. They need to go to a 5-1. She’ll be libero.
Her response? FU.
Three days later, Cook calls her mom because he hadn’t seen her. “She’ll be in to see you this afternoon.”
Cook is crying now. “And she brings in a letter that basically says I will do whatever this team needs me to do.”
We can PARENT that. In a world where we are supposed to quit or transfer. We can help our kids learn. It may have been the most impactful decision of her life.
