There’s something serene about snowfall during the funeral procession of legendary Fighting Irish head coach Lou Holtz.

Holtz did anything for his players. Today, his players walked down Notre Dame Avenue for him in quintessential South Bend conditions.

Just feels right. RIP.

Every day at 7PM, taps is played over the loudspeakers at Dallas National Cemetery, just beyond the outfield wall at DBU

During every gameday at 7, they pause to honor the fallen troops buried just beyond the wall

One of the best traditions in sports

Underrated team role: The Connector.

They’re not always the loudest.

But they bring people together.
Bridge gaps.
Build trust.

They make the locker room stronger.

Every great team needs one.

Power 5 Coordinator just told me when he comes to spring practices he doesn’t even watch the kids athletic ability he watches how he talks to his coaches and teammates and if he celebrates his teammates success..

Hardest position in sport. Great way to say it out loud. The "engine" of the organization.

I fully understand club sports and the purpose behind them. My own kids play and will continue to play in these types of programs. My issues is this: Please stop making kids feel guilty for trying to be a valued member of their high school programs in a different sport! What I am sick of, is clubs expect high school teams to always work around their big events, but if the club is asked to work around the HS program, the kids are threatened with no longer being on that team, or even better, told they can’t be on a certain team next year if they miss a particular tournament. There is value in club sports, especially as far as individual skills and competition level. There are also lessons in HS sports that cannot be taught in club, like playing in front of 2,000 fans in an emotional environment, with your towns name across your chest. There is value in learning how to perform in those types of situations and the pressure that comes with it! Student sections rushing the floor after huge wins are memories kids deserve to share as well! Just tired of the guilt trips and ultimatums that are forced on these kids as their careers continue. We are all in the kid business and must make them a priority physically and mentally. We must continue to find ways to work together in this arena , while promoting the idea that kids can play multiple sports if they choose to, and be encouraged by both sides to do so!

Watched Dell Curry interview this morning. Seth and Steph started AAU at 9 and he pulled them at 13. Didn’t think it was good. Focused on skills training working with trainers. Then went back to AAU after junior year. I don’t need to type anymore.

This is a wonderfully authentic moment

At its best, college sports is about giving young people an opportunity to improve their station in life. It’s often education. Sometimes it’s exposure and NIL $. Occasionally it’s as simple as a roof and hot food. Credit to Cole and Irby

LEADERSHIP IS LONELY

Softness is:

Talking back
Skipping reps
Failing classes
Showing up late
Giving 50% effort

Toughness is:

Being early
Going full speed
Doing extra reps
Biting your tongue
Being on the honor roll

Tough people dominate soft people in sports and in life.

OC Reminders:
1) Just win: stats don’t matter
2) Build a disaster package ( lose 2 wideouts and next subs are horrible?… have 7 OL packages
3) Spread the fun/if several good players feed them
4) Learn to feed the ball to “ attitude “ guys early in game
5) OL communication vital
