“You’ve gotta win the weight room before you can expect to win on Friday nights.”

I heard that for over a decade of coaching. No matter how hared I tried. It didn’t work.

Why?

It was me “trying hard” and not the kids. They didn’t care as much as I did.

And then…2 sophomores were tired of losing. On their own, they made a commitment to the weight room. Then 2 more teammates followed, then the team.

Our weight room culture hasn’t been the same since.

No surprise one of those sophs ended up scoring 124 TDs (passing and rushing) by his senior year and played football @UW_Football. The other threw Javelin at the UW as well.

Moral of the story.

Keep at it coach. Your hard work will payoff.

And there are champions walking the halls of your school. Just find 2+ that are willing to do the work. Others will follow.

Players: the LAST person you should be listening to during a game is your parents in the stands…if they are trying to coach you, telling you to “SHOOT IT,” I would politely ask them to keep quiet or sit in the car. In a game, you should only hear your coaches & your teammates.

[Coach Hines 🇺🇸 @CoachKurtHines]

“I’m not starting because Coach doesn’t like me.”

No. You’re not starting, because:

• You only train w/ the team when it’s “convenient”

• When you DO come, you do your own thing

• You laugh at your teammates, and think you’re better than them

• You don’t take coaching

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

To perform well under pressure, you need to forget about winning and losing, and just focus on giving your best effort and having fun in the present moment!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Know this: extra work will always be OPTIONAL. Whether it’s HS/College/Pro, no one is going to hold your hand to make you get better. It’s on you. You have to want to be great more than others ever want it for you. Take responsibility for yourself, your game & your improvement!

[skinny linecoach @SkinnyOLcoach]

The most dangerous narrative in HS sports these days is "the next level"...gotta get kids ready for the next level...gotta run what they do at the next level...gotta get kids to the next level...
7% of HS players get to the next level. Why are so many people obsessed with it?

[Coach Hood @TeamRHJAZ]

Don’t be the player who is too cool to go hard. Whether in a workout or a game, 100% is the bare minimum. Cool has no place in the game. Cool won’t impress anyone, won’t get you more playing time, won’t ever get you better. Cool will keep you on the bench. Cool will get you beat!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

During practice, selfless teammates will momentarily put aside their friendships & compete against each other because they care about the team’s success in competition! Practice the way you play! It’s never personal. It’s just necessary for true preparation. Competing IS caring!

[Trenia Tillis Hoard @TreTilJon]

Parents, stop yelling "shoot it" every time your child touches the basketball! It's happening at all levels and time to stop the insanity! High percentage shots and team basketball are more fun to watch. #tillisaboutit

My favorite 82 seconds of TV the last couple of years.

Listen. Learn.
Be Curious. Not Judgmental.

If you pout, cuss, kick rocks, stare at your glove, throw your bat, slam your helmet after an error or poor at-bat, you look like a jerk who can’t control emotions. Worse, you embarrass your team…while empowering your opponent. Stop it and grow up.

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

Remember that you'll always play the same way you practice.

Can't go through the motions at practice and expect to be great come game-day.

[Tim Kight @TimothyKight]

Trust is the driving force of exceptional teamwork. Trust takes an organization to a level of performance that cannot be achieved without it. Why? Because trust creates a personal and professional connection that allows an organization to operate with a speed and efficiency that organizations with lesser trust simply cannot match.

Keep in mind that talent cannot replace trust. There is a long line of organizations full of talented people who fail to produce results equal to their talent.

[Coach Battenberg @TerryBattenberg]

It seems to me that:

HS AAU basketball is all about paying $$ to others to maybe get a player a college scholarship someday.

HS team basketball is about developing players into a successful team for the school, community & the participants.

Is that about right??

Baker shows his true colors on that last sack trying to kick one of the Lions defenders. What a douchebag!
