Great advice that is perfectly worded. A child’s most influential coach isn’t the coach you pay, it’s the parents who see them more than anyone else. Be someone that builds your athlete and the team culture. #ALLIN

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

The Parent Poison…

Most parents want the best for their kids.

But sometimes, without realizing it, they slowly poison the very team their child is part of.

It rarely starts with something dramatic.
It starts small.

A comment in the car ride home.
“Why didn’t the coach play you more?”

A comparison.
“You’re better than that kid.”

A quiet complaint at the dinner table.
“That coach doesn’t know what he’s doing.”

Kids hear everything.

And when they hear it, something changes.

Doubt creeps in.
Blame grows.
Trust fades.

The mindset shifts from team first to me first.

What begins in the living room eventually shows up in the locker room.

You see it in body language.
You hear it in conversations.
You feel it in the culture.

Instead of unity, there are whispers.
Instead of accountability, there are excuses.
Instead of growth, there is resentment.

Great teams cannot survive that environment.

Because the best teams are built on three things:

Trust.
Sacrifice.
Shared purpose.

When players start believing the problem is everyone else, those things disappear.

Parents play a powerful role in a team’s culture whether they realize it or not.

The healthiest teams have parents who:

Support the program.
Encourage resilience.
Teach their kids to handle adversity.

They remind their children:

Work harder.
Be a great teammate.
Control what you can control.

They don’t feed excuses.
They build character.

And here’s the truth most people miss:

A parent’s influence extends far beyond their own child.

It affects the locker room.
It affects the culture.
It affects the entire team.

Great teams require unity, not whispers of criticism.

So the challenge for parents is simple.

Be the adult in the room.

Guard your words.
Model respect.
Support the team.

Because what starts at home always finds its way onto the court, the field, or the locker room.

And the best parents don’t poison the culture.

They protect it.

[Kaizen Performance Academy @kaizenperfacad]

So true! One successful team can change the culture for an entire athletic department. You want to be the best, being around the best is a great place to start!

[AREN Consulting @Fodrocy1156]

Ever been to a school where they have only ONE sport winning a national title in the display case? I bet not. Know why?
Success breeds success. Being around winning drives you to want to win.
Instead of being mad that football, basketball or volleyball get all the publicity, chase them and go win.

Jelly Roll just had an all-time Grammy acceptance speech

Had the great honor to work with @RockHill_FB Leadership Group last spring. Incredible young leaders & not surprised to see them in playoffs for 2nd yr in a row. They used words like Reliable, Accountable, & Poised to describe them at their best. Couldn’t agree more!! #LEO #proud

For the 2nd year in a row, Addee earned Honorable Mention All-Tournament Team at @SelectEventsBB Finale! Finished the season strong by averaging 17.5 pts, 5 rebounds and 1.5 assists with a 75/61/100 shooting split and 4 wins! Keep embracing the grind!! #efficient #effective

[Kaizen Performance Academy @kaizenperfacad]

@rockhillgolf1 @RockHillHS @PISD_Athletics Sam is super hard worker in all that she does and a great kid to top it off! So happy to see that be recognized for her and to see where she continues to climb! Keep it up, Sam!!

The votes are in. Here’s the difference between the American public & U.S. Senate on who supports protecting women’s sports:

Americans: 79%
Senators: 51%

Shamefully, the Senate has failed to reach the 60 votes needed to advance the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. The vote was 51-45.

Despite this disappointing result, I want to thank @SenTuberville for sponsoring this vital legislation and commend @LeaderJohnThune for bringing it to the floor.

Women and girls deserve their own sports and spaces. They deserve fairness and dignity, both on the playing field and in their locker rooms. And they deserve to know exactly who is voting against fairness, safety, and equal opportunity for female athletes.

Now we know. At least 45 Senators are content to ignore the will of the people and side with fringe activists against the women and girls in their home states.

If they think this issue is going away, they couldn't be more mistaken.

[Kaizen Performance Academy @kaizenperfacad]

@trentsinger True freshman, not redshirt. Was going to redshirt until injuries in December changed plan.

[Kaizen Performance Academy @kaizenperfacad]

How many young student-athletes and parents need to hear this?!?! That number is high! And sometimes, parents need to take the guidance from the kids. Just keep doing your work. Good things will work themselves out.

[Inky Johnson @inkyjohnson]

Don’t complain…. CONTRIBUTE

[Kaizen Performance Academy @kaizenperfacad]

Talent is overrated. Talented teams & great individual talent doesn’t guarantee success. Getting the RIGHT people to make up the team or having the right mindset allows us to to accomplish great things. The fit is important.

[Inky Johnson @inkyjohnson]

Specific guys for a specific mission.

Dan Gable is on the elite-elite-elite level, both as a player AND coach. A crazy stat that most people don’t know is that in 1972, he won the gold medal in the Olympics. While winning those 6 matches against the best in the world, he gave up a grand total of ZERO POINTS! 🤯😳🤯

[Notes on Iowa @notesoniowa]

Gable Grabs Gold: On August 27, 1972, Dan Gable captured an Olympic Gold at 149.5 lbs in Munich. One of the greatest freestyle wrestlers and coaches of all time, Gable excelled on the mat in high school (64-0), college (117-1), and internationally.

So right that the greatest thing you can give your kids is a good name. But the parents have to establish the good name by their actions. That is why it is important that we work with parents and the kids to achieve mental growth!

[Inky Johnson @inkyjohnson]

Generational wealth!

[Kaizen Performance Academy @kaizenperfacad]

Whether in the bench or on the court, you are always IN the game. Be ready so you don’t have to get ready.

[Ball is Psych @BallisPsych]

Your bench is the ultimate culture check.

Amateurs pout on the bench because they only care about personal glory.

Pros can’t sit still. They’re too busy celebrating their teammates with genuine joy and excitement.

Is your bench bringing the energy or draining it?

[Kaizen Performance Academy @kaizenperfacad]

Besides being a shooter, Addee has worked hard to become a mentally strong athlete in both basketball & volleyball. When you control the mental side, the physical side can shine brightly! #mentalmanagement #kaizen
