Why Summer Coaching Is Harder Than People Think…

Because summer isn’t really a break.

It’s planning.
It’s organizing.
It’s texting.
It’s scheduling.
It’s opening the gym.

It’s finding ways to keep kids connected when school isn’t forcing them together.

It’s trying to build culture before the season ever begins.

It’s motivating athletes who would rather be at the lake, on vacation, at work, or sleeping in.

It’s balancing development and enjoyment.

Pushing them enough to grow.
Not pushing so hard they burn out.

It’s creating an environment kids want to be part of.

One where they leave practice excited to come back tomorrow.

It’s organizing team camps, leagues, workouts, fundraisers, and team-building activities while everyone else thinks you’re “off for the summer.”

It’s investing hours in a season that is still months away.

All for a chance to build something special when the season arrives.

And the truth is, summer matters.

The relationships you build now.
The standards you establish now.
The culture you create now.

Those are the things that carry teams through the difficult moments later.

So if you’re coaching this summer, don’t forget:

Make it fun.
Make it positive.
Make it something your players look forward to.

The season will bring enough pressure.

Summer should build the relationships, trust, and enthusiasm that make everything else possible.

Because great seasons are rarely built in season.

They’re built in the summer.

Good luck Coach🏆

You know I have a ton of respect for you. I posted this somewhere else. I do respect your stance. Here is mine as a HS football coach and I do NOT like letting kids go. But letting him go tells all future recruits that there are lines that you cannot cross. This was one of them. They know the rules & consequences. There has to be lines:..stealing from teammates? Involuntary manslaughter? Arson? Something. And when you compromise the integrity of the game when EVERYONE knows and it’s not accidental or bc of being under the influence, and it’s simply a choice, then that’s a line.

And for this saying he has a gambling problem, I get that, but he didn’t have to gamble on his teams own games whether he was dressed up or not. He did that because he had inside info and wanted money. He could have bet on anything else and it wouldn’t have been nearly as bad.

If they want to support him, go ahead. I don’t disagree that he needs something. But he can do without football for a year at least.

Can’t play 4. The group behind won’t appreciate that. Play 2 balls, don’t be rushed. The pace will be about right. 4some’ have the right of way btw

[NUCLR GOLF @NUCLRGOLF]

Playing as a single and the group ahead refuses to let you play through 🏌️

What would you do in this case?

10 Inconvenient Truths of Coaching

1. Not every kid wants to be great.

2. You will often be misunderstood.

3. Some parents care more about playing time than team success.

4. Your best players aren’t always your best leaders.

5. No system works without buy-in.

6. Success brings criticism, too.

7. Culture isn’t built in a week; it’s built daily.

8. You can’t coach every player the same way.

9. Wins don’t always reflect your impact.

10. The job takes more from you than it gives… until years later.

Still worth every second.
Still a great profession.

PREACH!

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Bill Maher just dedicated the end of his show to throwing his own party under the bus for defending every minority group except Jews.

“There is a frothing anxiousness for the literal extermination of this one group. And Democrats, where are you?”

“If any other minority group was being talked about this way, you’d break out the Kente cloth and have 10 benefit concerts.”

“But because you see that so many of your brainwashed-by-TikTok constituents now have an unfavorable view of Israel, you indulge them when you should be correcting them.”

“All the people likely running for president now on the Democratic side want it known they don’t take money from AIPAC, the Israeli lobby… You take money from crypto and factory farmers and big tech, from Diddy and Weinstein and Epstein, but AIPAC is too far?”

“Let me just say this to all who ask me, ‘Why are you harder on the Democrats than you used to be?’ Until you fix this whole issue, stop asking me.”

Calling it like he knows it is! Teammates who hold all others accountable are so valuable. If the truth hurts ur feelings ur selfish….period! Basketball and Life truths!

[Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA]

With the Wolves getting knocked out by Oklahoma City and San Antonio these last two seasons, asked Naz Reid about what they need to do to be able to catch those teams.

"Probably just the moodiness. You look at both of those teams and they're playing for one another, they're excited to be on the floor with one another, they're a team where they're selfless... I think we have more than enough talent... But just being less moody. I think that's just the name of the game for us, just being less moody and more selfless."
