[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"Criticism is a tax on success. If you're getting criticized, appreciate it. It means you're winning more than you're losing. No one criticizes the underdog, the eight-seed, the perennial loser. Don't let that [criticism] get you down. Enjoy it. You've earned it." @chrisbosh

[Matt Pagni @CoachPags775]

10 year olds should be playing against 12’s.

13 year olds should be playing against 15’s.

16 year olds should be playing against 18’s.

Be uncomfortable
Get beat up
Take your L’s

If you’re TRULY about development, CHALLENGE YOUR GUYS!

Experience discomfort now
DOMINATE LATER!

[Doug Gottlieb @GottliebShow]

Life is about attitude and confidence

[Craig Doty @CoachDoty]

Coaches play favorites all the time.

They favor toughness, ability, good attitudes/body language, skill, trust, competitiveness, consistency, and leadership.

When it comes to playing time, coaches favor the players who give the team the best chance to win.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Play up to your standards, not down to your competition.

[Rob Oviatt @RobOviatt1]

Coaches only put people on the field that they can trust. Players only want to play next to teammates they can trust. And you earn that trust, every single day, by being on time, working hard, knowing what to do, and doing everything else it takes to win.
Bill Belichick

This is what The Power of a Positive Team looks like. 🙌 Surround yourself with people that lift you up and be the type of person that lifts others up.

Tag a teammate / friend.

[Adam Krikorian @WaterPoloCoachK]

Teams can achieve great success when a coach holds everyone accountable to their values.

But teams reach their potential when the athletes can honestly, and respectfully, hold each other accountable.

[Jeff Janssen @janssenleader]

Sleeping in is a choice.
Rising early is a choice.

Cutting corners is a choice.
Doing extra is a choice.

Eating junk food is a choice.
Eating healthy is a choice.

Skipping reps is a choice.
Attacking the weight room is a choice.

Which choice will you make today?

Coach: But I thought…never mind enjoy your trips 🤦🏾‍♂️

CIF San Diego has switched swimming / dive to season 1 & moved water polo into season 2. I have been a fan of this change since the sports tiers were announced. I’m all for any solution that gets kids playing safely for their high schools ASAP.
