Our goal isn’t to be fearless. We just don’t want fear making our decisions when we’re trying to learn. We achieve this - not by removing the fear - but by changing the way we think about it.
“But I coach competitive football,” you say.
For you, I share the thoughts of a gentleman who knew a bit about competitive football.
“At training, I want to see them laughing. It’s a sport; it’s supposed to be fun.”

Jay Wright (Villanova) was a Culture KING.
Why?
Here are 5 Jay Wright quotes that shed some light💡.
1: “We have a saying that everyone’s role is different, but everyone’s status is the same. It’s a reminder that no matter how bright the spotlight gets, we are all part of something much larger than ourselves.”
- WE > ME
- Be a star in your role
2: “The most important characteristic any of us have is our attitude. It’s a concept that permeates everything you do. We all bring our attitude to every situation.”
- Attitude is everything
- Be an energy giver
3: “We're not complex in what we do X-and-O-wise, but we do spend a lot of time on how we react mentally to every situation.”
- Simple Wins
- Mental toughness
4: “If you think about how good you are as opposed to what the next challenge is going to be, then you’ve already lost. We have to stay humble.”
- Humble wins
- Gratitude matters
5: “After we won in 2016, the goal wasn't to win another [national title]. The goal was to keep our culture strong. We knew that for us, that was the best chance of winning it again. If we tried to win it another way, we weren't going to win it anyway.”
- Culture is Every Day

Nurturing intelligence, skill and character in a competitive context so that children may enjoy the game more profoundlly should be the norm, no?
Ask yourself which part of practice you enjoyed most as a young player and do more of that. (i.e. the training games)

"Who is going to be on your bus?"
A question my dad asked me at 18 years old.
You see, my dad was a man of few words but when he spoke you listened.
At 18, I was getting my first taste of success.
•Drafted 9th overall
•Signed the big contract
•Being told I was going to be great
There was a line out of the station to be on my bus.
At 23, I was getting my first taste of failure.
•Sporting a 6+ ERA
•Sent to the minor leagues
•Being told that I was a bust
There were plenty of empty seats on my bus.
A question that I brushed over at 18, hit home at 23.
"Who is going to be on your bus?"
That question is one I think about most days.
That question is one that has defined my relationships.
That question is one I thought was silly at 18 and cherish in my 30s.
That toy bus in the picture is the same toy bus my dad gave me at 18.
You see my dad passed away a few years ago but I know he was on my bus.
My friends, fill your bus with people that are on it for the long haul not ride the highs and exit at the lows.
My challenge to you is to consider whose bus you are on.
Do they know it?
If not, let them know.
Self-talk in sport…
Athletes can instruct themselves. They can energise themselves. They can talk to themselves positively or rationalise any given situation.
Self-talk is a mental technique that drives mental skill and can be practiced in every activity and used in every game
