Is it just me or is anyone else annoyed by Peacock? The video looks like a bad documentary with an unpaid intern running the camera who can’t keep up with the action…think Blair Witch Project … and the commercials have been mostly in Spanish.

Parents:

Let your kids control their sports journey.

Stop yelling at them.
Stop coaching from the stands.
Stop making them watch tape with you.

Let their coaches coach, and you be mom or dad. You aren’t going to change their destiny by what you say.

Are You Worthy of Winning?

Winning is more than the final score; it’s about being worthy of the victory.

You can't just show up and expect to win.

Everything is earned.

Here are 7 Ways to be Worthy of Winning:

1. COMPETE!
True winners embrace competition. Challenge yourself and others. Competing hones your skills and spirit. Step into the arena with the heart of a warrior.

2. WORK HARD
Effort is the backbone of success. Push your limits every day. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. Dedicate yourself to the grind; excellence will follow. Always live by the mindset of "No Deposit - No Return!"

3. THINK WE > ME
Team success trumps individual glory. Support and elevate your teammates. Collective achievement leads to shared success. Value unity and champion the team’s goals above your own.

4. TRUST THE PROCESS
Progress requires patience. Believe in your training and strategy. Growth and success are gradual. Embrace each step of your journey with faith and persistence. And remember that the process is the prize.

5. CREATE GREAT HABITS
Winning habits lay the foundation for victory. Regular, positive routines lead to gradual improvement. Excellence, then, isn’t an act but a habit. Cultivate habits that propel you towards your goals.

6. KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE
Attitude influences the outcome. Stay optimistic through the ups and downs. Positivity is contagious and empowering. Maintain an upbeat outlook to inspire yourself and others.

7. SHOW UP WITH RELENTLESS CONSISTENCY
Consistency is key to breakthroughs. Be unwavering in your efforts and commitments. Relentless consistency turns ordinary into extraordinary. Commit every day; let persistence be your trademark.

Everything is earned. Earn your wins by embodying these principles. Be worthy of winning in sports and in life!

According to the New York Jets Coach, Robert Saleh...

There are 4 Levels of Competitors.

Everyone falls into one of these areas.

Which one do you fall into?

1. The SURVIVOR - These people get by. They want to take the easy way out. They do as little as possible. They are minimalists.

2. The CONTENDER - Contenders need external motivation to compete. They need the trophy, the reward, the prize. These external rewards push them to compete.

3. The COMPETITOR - These people are internally and intrinsically motivated to be their best. They have a championship mindset. They are always looking to get their personal best. They are motivated and driven.

4. The COMMANDER - The commanders are first and foremost competitors. They have all of the same attributes that competitors do above: They are intrinsically motivated, have a championship mindset, and are fierce competitors. What is the difference then? The commanders pull others along with them. They Lead. They have a great influence on those around them.

Which of these do you fall into as a player, coach, or person?

How about your teammates?

Who do you want on your team?

COACHES: You may not know for 10, 15, or 20 years from now whether this year's team was successful. Success is not always about the wins accumulated but rather the winners produced. You are coaching the future leaders of your community.

[The Sport Parent @TheSportParent]

If you're yelling at a ref at your 10-year-olds soccer/baseball/football game, it's time for some self-evaluation.

Why does it matter so much to you?
What behaviors are you teaching your kid?

This isn't complicated, yet it happens all the time.

Parents....if I am a college coach and see your daughter come over to the bleachers to listen to your instruction during a game, she is crossed off of my list.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

The idea of being a college athlete sounds so great to many, but the reality of the grit & sacrifice it takes to get there is usually not considered. How bad do you want it? Are you willing to put in all the time & effort it takes to get to that level? It’s even harder to belong!

[Impact Ohio @impact_ohio]

Sadly these kid’s are paying big $ to be lied to about looks. Every tournament, a recruiting company wants rosters, which I refuse to provide. The only way to see who looks at your “free” profile is to pay for an upgrade. Buyer beware, do your own footwork!! Thanks for posting.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Parents: What do you say to your child after games? Here is something for you to think about, thousands of college athletes were asked to think about their worst memory from youth & high school sports. The overwhelming response, THE RIDE HOME! Be very intentional with your words.
