Uncoachable kids become unemployable adults.
Once you are convinced the coach cares, let your kids get used to someone being tough on them

Remember the reason for this weekend.

"Memorial Day was never meant to just be a long https://t.co/kJcMpZi4fu is a sacred pause.
A moment to remember that freedom has always cost somebody something.

It is the sound of children laughing in a country men and women died protecting.
It is the silence at dinner tables where a seat never got filled again.
It is folded flags pressed into trembling hands.
Dog tags tucked away in old wooden boxes.
Wedding rings still worn by widows decades later.
Parents who kissed their child goodbye one last time without knowing it would be the last.

Memorial Day is not about those who served only.
It is about those who never made it home.
The ones who gave birthdays, anniversaries, future grandchildren, quiet mornings, ordinary Tuesdays… all of it… for a country they believed was worth protecting.

Somewhere this weekend, a mother is still grieving a son who died in uniform.
Somewhere, a child only knows their father through photographs and stories.
Somewhere, an old flag hangs carefully folded because it is all a family has left to hold onto.

And yet here we are… living the very life they fought for.

The freedom to gather.
To worship.
To raise our children in peace.
To laugh loudly on porches under an American sky.
To argue, dream, build businesses, fall in love, and live ordinary lives without fear.

Those ordinary moments we so easily rush through were paid for by extraordinary sacrifice.

So yes, enjoy the sunshine.
Hold your babies close.
Laugh around the grill.
Watch the fireworks.
Wave the flag proudly.

But before this weekend ends, stop for a moment and remember the men and women who laid down their lives for people they would never even meet.

Because Memorial Day is not just the celebration of freedom.
It is the remembrance of the people who gave everything so America could still have it. 🇺🇸"

Good Morning from NC

I know everyone’s happy with a 3-day weekend, backyard BBQ’s, the beach, & parties but please remember what it truly means.

Memorial Day is a solemn time to honor the brave men & women of our armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country—giving their lives so we could enjoy our freedom. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

It’s about reflection, gratitude, & paying respect to the fallen heroes who defended you & our nation.

Have a great Saturday & enjoy your day!

Kids.
Remember This: With good coaches, the coach really doesn't determine your playing time.
Your own choices do.
Your effort.
Your attitude.
Your work ethic.
Not just your skill set.

Sylvester Stallone said the iconic Rocky stairs scene was filmed quickly before the police arrived.

“I wasn’t even thinking about the stairs. We didn’t have the money to film there.”

“I just got out of the car and said, ‘Let me run up the stairs and get one take of that.’”
