Dear Luca,

Just play basketball and quit being a bitch. Thanks!

It may not look like much to some, but this is my little piece of earth and it’s all mine. Relaxin’ and really enjoying life! Show off your beautiful piece of earth and be proud!

@JVR405 Right on! If the Thunder happen to win a championship or two with the current roster and then OKC gave KD, Russ and Harden a short term contract to retire where they began, that is the only way I would want them back. OKC doesn’t need that negativity back at all right now.

[🔴⚫️CoachCarrPV⚫️🔴 @pokesfan8403]

None of us will ever forget how KD, Russ, James and the old gang made us feel as #thunder fans. But there is just something about this team that truly makes you believe they could win the whole damn thing. It’s a great day to be a Thunder fan!!!!! #ThunderUp

@ToddOnSports Maybe he just thinks it is what people want to hear. 🤷🏼‍♂️. It just gets so old. I am just glad that Hunziker and Rowland aren’t as annoying as he is sometimes. It makes listening to Cowboy and Sooner games enjoyable.

9. Players Need to Want It

You can inspire and motivate as a coach, but players must want success.

Encourage hard work, commitment, and goal-setting; let them own their success.

8: You Won't Please Everyone

Tough decisions come with the job.

Not everyone will agree.

Remember, you're working for the team's benefit, not just one person.

Make yourself happy.

Don't try to please others.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

7: You Will be Humbled

I promise.

Coaching is a very humbling profession.

You will have very tough losses. And you will wonder how it happened.

Never assume anything.

Working with 16-17 year old kids promises many surprises.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

6. Success Takes Time

Building a great team requires patience.

There will be ups and downs, but stick with it, and you'll see results.

Building a positive team culture is the #1 job of a coach. Do not forget this.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

5: Don’t do it for $$

High School Coaching doesn't pay much, but it's not about that.

It's a calling, a lifestyle driven by love for the game and helping young athletes grow and develop to be their best.

It is about building a TEAM.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

4: There will be Highs and Lows

It is guaranteed.

But the highs will be some of the best memories in your life.

And the lows will be great learning opportunities for everyone.

It prepares everyone for life.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

3: Critics Will Come

It is unfortunate, but it is what it is.

No matter how well you do, there will always be critics.

Accept it; you know your team best.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

2: It's a 24/7 Commitment

Coaching is more than a job; it's a way of life.

You'll spend tons of time planning, analyzing, and strategizing.

It will consume your mind and thinking.

But the relationships, the successes, and the memories make it all worth it!

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

1. Spousal Support is a must.

Coaching can strain family life.

A supportive spouse is critical.

You are gone a lot.

Both physically and mentally.

The most important thing needed in a successful coach is a supportive spouse.

There is no other way.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Coaching is not an easy gig.

Unless you've done it, you wouldn't know.

Here are the 10 Truths of Coaching.

@JVR405 You just keep being you Dante! It’s the difference between one side and the other. I could give 0 F’s who you vote for. Being a good person is all that matters my friend. Some people will just never grow the F up boss. You do you bro!

If you have not eaten at The Moon Sushi and Asian Bistro in Norman, you are absolutely missing out. Great sushi and great service. Come and give it a try if you like sushi.
