“That actually runs counter to what we think in terms of sports medicine and sports performance, and this study supported our line of thinking.”

Passion is a double edged sword. We think because we are “passionate” we have what it takes, or that we never need rest. Not true. Being competent beats being passionate any day. From a rest standpoint- it’s worth remembering even freight trains occasionally need to slow down.
Softness is:
-Talking back
-Showing up late
-Skipping Reps
-Giving 3/4’s effort
-Failing classes
Toughness is:
-Biting your tongue
-Being early
-Doing extra reps
-Going full speed
-Being on the A/B honor roll
Tough people dominate soft people in sports and in life!

Old Way of Thinking:
When I become a good player I’ll do my strength and conditioning.
Better Way of Thinking:
I’ll do my strength and conditioning so I can become a better player.
Coach,
Please don't lecture me about:
Nutrition while you drink a coke;
Being organised when you haven't planned my session;
Staying calm while you yell from the sidelines;
Respecting the ref when you swear at them;
Taking ownership after you've blamed the official.
Kids
Things Kids have Never Said:
- Not more games... We want repetitive drills.
- Please lecture us more.
- Lining up in a long queue is fun!
- Why do it when we can sit and listen to you explain it?
- I can feel myself grow when you yell from the sidelines.
