Portal kids- can we stop with the “after much consideration, thought, prayer, reflection nonsense? 95% of you made this decision months ago. It’s OK, no need to sugarcoat it. We get it!
Put yourself out there and just call what it is. You are leaving and want a new school.
PARENTS:
Just a heads up — a lot of kids are not bringing home the full story of what was discussed in their exit meetings, only the parts they want you to hear.
The best thing to learn as an athlete is to take criticism. It’s a privilege to be coached. It says the coach believes in you and what you can grow into. Don’t take it as an insult when they try to change something, thats the greatest compliment. Show them you can be coachable.
Someone else is praying for your opportunity.
Your spot.
Your chance.
Perspective cures pressure.
What are you grateful for that you've been taking for granted?
Grateful to receive the coach’s choice award at FCA Night of Champions. Thank you FCA and my coaches for seeing more than stats and for recognizing character, leadership, and faith. Great way to close junior year.
All Glory to God!

Team cancer is expecting perfection from others while giving minimum effort yourself.
Be the teammate you want.
What do you need to fix in YOUR game first?

The best thing you'll listen to today is Utah Jazz Head Coach Will Hardy talking about the tax of being a leader:
🏋 Leadership is not a position you hold—it’s a responsibility you carry. The weight isn’t in the title, it’s in the people who trust you with their time, energy, and belief.
📊 Before metrics, before outcomes, before strategy—there are humans. Leadership is a human-to-human commitment to see, serve, and develop the people in front of you.
✊ There is a tax on leadership. And it's paid in consistency, in hard conversations, in choosing standards over comfort. You don’t get to clock out from being the example!
The cost is of being the head coach is real... but so is the impact on every life you’re responsible for. 🌱⏩🌳

𝗔𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... COACHES remind the team of the standards.
𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... PLAYERS remind the team of the standards.
𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... EVERYONE reminds each other of the standards
As an AD, the growing trend of individualism is making it harder to sustain winning programs. Great teams are built on sacrifice, accountability, and putting the program above personal goals. Championships still come from “we,” not “me.”
