It’s rare 4 the kids 2 watch dad play competitively. They had the opportunity this wk w/ him playing & hosting the State Open @ MCC.
While it wasn’t the result we hoped 4, it’s a good reminder 2 them that this is apart of it. Congrats on a gr8 tourney year! #mindovernatter

Coaching is Hard.
What makes a Great Coach?
There is so much.
It is a dynamic job, and few understand the complexity and dynamics of being a coach.
Here are 10 Traits of Great Coaches.
1: RELATIONSHIPS FIRST - Great coaches care about their players first and foremost. They work hard to build positive relationships with all players. They know relationships are the heartbeat of great teams.
2: CLEAR STANDARDS - The number one job of a coach is to build culture. Culture is: What coaches allow, what coaches emphasize, and consistent follow-through every day. Great coaches have clear standards and focus on maintaining these every day.
3: EMOTIONAL IQ - Great coaches, get it. Great coaches have “with-it-ness.” Great coaches can read the room, read their team, and connect with many different types of people. They have high emotional intelligence.
4: SELF-AWARENESS - Great coaches, know thy self. They know their strengths and weaknesses and try to fill these gaps with great assistant coaches.
5: ExXCELLENT COMMUNICATORS - Bringing a group together to achieve a common goal is challenging. Clear and concise communication is critical. Great coaches are master communicators.
6: MINDSET - Great coaches operate with a growth mindset. This mindset becomes part of the program's culture. It is a mindset that we can always get better. There is no such thing as failure, and the process is focused on.
7: MASTER TEACHERS - Great coaches are Master Teachers. They can simplify the complex and provide clear and concise feedback to their players.
8: HEALTHY COMPETITIVE MINDSET - Great coaches are competitive—they have to be. But it needs to be a healthy, competitive spirit. It cannot be a win-at-all-costs mindset. Great coaches embed the life lessons and struggles learned along the way.
9: HUMBLE - Great coaches know that humility wins. They can instill confidence in their players while keeping them humble. This is a critical balance in highly successful coaches and teams.
10: BUILD LEADERS - Great coaches focus on building positive team leaders. Building culture is a coach's number one job, but building player leadership has to be number two. Great coaches know this. They have a leadership plan.

This one is about to embark on her high school career. She spent the majority of her summer playing 🏀, some 🥎 sprinkled in with a little bit of work. Her dedication and drive for her sport is admirable. You are a ⭐️ and I can’t wait to see what lies ahead for you.
Both these girls played their last 🥎 tournament together this weekend. So proud of these two for their hard work this season. Each won a 🏅 for player of the game. I am one proud mama. @savanah_kemnitz
Nat’l Jr Honor Society Banquet tonight & they shared their community projects. In February, Sav paired her love for 🏀 with giving back by teaching youth through a skills camp she lead. The price of admin- a non perishable food item #proudmom#fortheloveofthegame#givingback
Now that the Masters is over, this kid is even more driven to get his game in line for his tournaments this summer! Look at his comparison videos from his first lesson ever 6 years ago at 3 years old to now at 9. He has a great teacher ⛳️🏌️♂️ @dave_kem@MinocquaCC
