Matt Rhule told me he holds his players to a high standard, but he also understands how heavy life can be for college football players today.
After talking to former players in prison and delivering a eulogy for one of his own players, Rhule said he learned that you never really know what someone is going through.
This is his perspective on coaching with accountability and empathyโฌ๏ธ
โToo many kids today are afraid of failure.โ - Doug Collins
What happens when kids never learn to fail?
They quit when it gets hard.
Because no one let them practice getting back up.
5 things players actually remember:
1. How you made them feel
2. Whether you believed in them
3. The standards you held
4. The hard moments you didnโt avoid
5. If you were real
Stats fade. Impact doesnโt.
Which one matters most?
Greatness doesnโt happen in one giant moment.
It happens in the small stuff.
The daily habits.
The discipline when nobodyโs watching.
The attitude you bring.
The effort you give.
The way you show up.
Do the little things well.
Pick up the trash.
Encourage somebody.
Stay coachable.
Keep showing up with purpose.
Because greatness is built one small choice at a time.
โNever become upset or angered by constructive criticism. Those who truly want to reach their full potential will constantly seek, receive and accept honesty. Those who donโt will constantly point fingers, make excuses and deny the truth.โ #Ap2w
