If your 17 YO athlete isn’t willing to wake up 15-min earlier to grab their water, some protein and carbs for breakfast let alone put together some extra backpack snacks for their day they really don’t care about getting stronger or improving as an athlete.

Seriously, if you have an almost 18 YO athlete under your roof who has a phone, spends > 4 hours/day social media, is enrolled in expensive training/plays multiple sports that you spend thousands of dollars on annually they should absolutely be able to prioritize their nutrition and sleep.

Don’t be your kid’s friend, be their parent. Encourage them to pack snacks, build a routine that is centered around supporting the life they want to live. Kids need routine, structure, discipline, and guidance. They will be glad they had a parent who encouraged them to eat well and recover smart.

Some extra tough love from me this morning.. there’s a lot of hard working athletes out there hungry to get better and will easily outperform those who stay up late, show up to training under-fueled giving 50% effort when someone else ate well and is able to give 100% effort!

If you want your kid to be strong and successful, ask them to put down the phone and pick up a book, plan out their meals and snacks for games and training, get to bed early and pack their water bottle.

The fundamentals are missed and gains are being left on the table. Get mad but you know I am right.
Habits learned in childhood are carried in adulthood.

Don’t let your kid be that 20 YO who doesn’t know how to cook an egg, how to care for themselves, or how to take accountability for their life. How we perform academically and physically is directly related to our sleep, nutrition, hydration, and this is due to our routine.

No one accidentally shows up to the championship game or succeeds in life by accident. Discipline, structure, and life skills need to be taught early on in life! Too many kids lack the means to succeed.

Let's get our kids dialed! 📞

✅ Happy

The head coach is the CEO of their program

Schools are for the most part being run by folks who would not dress out for P.E.

I say it over and over, consistency is undervalued in society. Consistency is a mark of greatness and perhaps more than anything, maturity. I believe inconsistency is the hardest thing to coach. It's why so many of us have little or no hair.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Kobe Bryant said, “If you’re going to be a leader, you’re not going to please everybody. You got to hold people accountable even if you have that moment of being uncomfortable.”

Great leaders don't try to please everyone.

They know it isn't about popularity, but about responsibility.
• It means making tough decisions.
• It means having tough conversations.
• It means being willing to do what is right for the team even if it doesn't make you liked.

You lead through your actions. You lead through how you set an example, how you interact with others, and how you create a standard for performance.

7 Leadership Competencies Everyone Needs:
1. Build Relationships - It starts with caring and connecting. To be an effective leader, you need to build relationships with people so you can establish trust and foster collaboration. People won't follow or listen until they know you and what you stand for.

2. Create Accountability - Leaders set the standard and embody the standard. Accountability means taking ownership. Success doesn't happen without accountability. Creating accountability empowers you to ensure people take ownership of their actions. It creates good conflict because it promotes responsibility and drives performance for success.

3. Communicate effectively - Effective leadership means effective communication. Communication means what you say, how you say it, and when you say it. Your ability to pair strong relationships with effective communication is what drives changes. It means articulating a clear vision, inspiring, and motivating e others. Everyone might not like what you say, but communication becomes the bridge between confusion and clarity.

4. Drive Change - Leadership is about how you deal with change and how you drive change within a team. People don't always like change, but you have to navigate change with resilience and adaptability. It means communication and action. How you communicate and behave will either inspire change or have people resist. It will signal how you help your team adapt, innovate, and grow.

5. Develop People - Great leaders develop more leaders. They focus on nurturing talent, empowering others, and creating a culture of continuous learning. It means believing in people and their potential. You have to get people to believe in what their potential can be for them and sometimes that doesn't align with where they are today. Set a plan to work with people to grow and develop.

6. Think Critically - Leaders have to make the tough decisions. Accept that not every decision will be liked. It means having emotional intelligence to understand the current environment and the people to make the best decisions for the team. It involves analyzing complex situations, making informed decisions, and solving problems effectively. This helps you navigate challenges and drive strategic outcomes.

7. Inspire others - True influence comes from authenticity, not authority. When people trust you, respect you, and see you doing the work, they easily follow. They follow your communication, your vision, and your example because you've created a sense of purpose and commitment. Great leaders connect because they know that to lead, you need to engage.

"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." - John Maxwell

Some high school coaches really be out here trying to save lives and they barely get a thank you from parents, players or the community and get criticized for every move we make and yet we continue to fight. Keep fighting y’all. You are appreciated!

Cool to see @MoBuckets907 play well for @UCRMBB . He played for @krehger at Dimond Lynx. Krehg's brother @ThomyHarris is one of my best friends and was a player on TMU Mustangs when I was team manager.

As the new head coach, Sanders encouraged the incumbent players on the team, which went 1-11 last season, to transfer out of Colorado to make room for what Sanders calls superior talent. More than 50 players decided to transfer. https://t.co/bM6v0fRSiE

Coaching is more than just coaching. It’s also leading, motivating, inspiring, teaching, managing, mentoring, loving, and much more!

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

An athlete can have the best genes, coaches, equipment, and resources, but if their heart isn't in it, they will never reach their full potential.
