Chris Fowler shares a must-listen message on coaching and why it's more than just a profession.
"You have been nasty and irrational and deeply personal in your criticism of coaches from time to time. If you're a sports fan, I guarantee it. I've certainly been guilty."
"But do you know why coaches choose that as a profession in the first place?"
"Almost every single one of them - because they want to help people learn, grow, and improve as people and as athletes. I promise you, that's why they get into it."
"Coaching is a calling more than a profession. Lee Corso taught me that a long time ago."
It's one of the greatest examples of being a servant leader. It's pouring yourself into the growth of other people.
"You have to have what it takes to pour yourself into others in order to make a difference. Not everybody can do that."
"Yes, they're accountable for the wins and losses. But consider that so much of that is actually beyond their control. You're accountable for it. You're responsible for it. How much do you really control it?"
"Know the grind. What each and every coach at whatever level puts into it - whether you're a coach in Little League or AAU or high school - what they put into that is so demanding on them and their loved ones."
The sacrifices are invisible and the criticism is public.
"Consider them as human beings when you rip into them."
"I promise you, at their heart, they just wanna help people. That's the greatest joy they get out of it."
Coaching is a calling.
The wins feel good.
But watching someone become who they're capable of becoming that's why they do it.

After a great talk and visit with Coach @CoachAG1181 and @StanBonewitz , I am excited to announce that I have received an official offer from Concordia University
“I’m having dreams about next year, Coach! I can’t wait to be a Yellowjacket!”
That’s the type of stuff that fires me up for the future here at @hputxmbsk 🐝

Holy Sh*t: The legendary Michael Irvin goes OFF on players entering the transfer portal because of NIL.
"I had to fight and earn my way to first string. Their families are f**king doomed. They don't know how to fight."

"It's a daily process. You just stack good days. Everything we do we have high standards and expectations. The standards can never be compromised and there has to be accountability throughout the entire organization coaches and players." - Curt Cignetti
“It’s a process. It’s a way you go about doing things. It’s a high standard, high expectation, it’s accountability. It’s discipline, commitment, toughness, work ethic, pride. It’s wanting to be great vs. wanting to be normal,” Curt Cignetti
The difference is within you.
