To be a great coach, you must have a deep passion for helping kids grow. If you’re just coaching for the money or accolades, you may not last long as a coach.
Sports teach us about life/impact who we become, but your value as a person is more than any sports performance. Sports are just something you do; it’s not who you are. Sports are part of you for only a short time. Be sure to find your identity in something that lasts a lifetime!
COACHES: Treat your athletes with respect, dignity, and empathy even when they do not return the favor, or they act immature, or they cost you a win. Be the adult. Be the positive leader. Be the example. Be one of the reasons they become a good adult one day!
COACHES: Remember you are the adult in your program. You are the one that should know how to act, behave, communicate, and deal with adversity. Yes, your athletes "should" do many things, but you are the mature one in the relationship. You show them the way. You set the example.

If the Twins win and Sox lose today, the Twins are 11 gb. With seven of their next ten against the skidding Sox, and another 3 against KC. Then four against Detroit. Entirely possible to be back in this thing by the all star break
Dear HS Athletes:
My son is 4. Yesterday, I took him to HS ⚾️ games for the first time this summer. Today we went to the park to hit. He HAD to bring a backpack & his bat HAD to be in a side pocket.. “just like the big kids”
U r always being watched, whether u want to be or not
HS Coaches:
Your players ARE NOT your friends. It’s okay if there are days when they don’t like you. Your job is to get them to do/achieve things they couldn’t do on their own.
But
At the end of the day, your players need to know that you love them + that you have their back
