“Mudita” defined Alabama softball’s 2026 season.

Head coach Patrick Murphy described it as finding genuine joy in the success of someone else on your team, a mindset the Crimson Tide embraced all year long.

“Compete. Compete on the mound. Compete at the plate. Compete on the field. Just don’t look at the scoreboard. Just keep competing. Play hard, play to win. You’ve got to do it together. You’ve got to have a team behind that mission,” Patty Gasso

[College Sports on SiriusXM @SXMCollege]

"I think I overreacted a little bit."

Were Patty Gasso's comments following elimination from the #SEC tournament to harsh? Her @OU_Softball fan base didn't think so. #RoadToWCWS #ChamionshipMindset

Get your boys into football and watch the transformation!

Football uniquely challenges boys in ways that boys need but rarely get in today’s society.

We need football because it provides an environment where boys can become young men, and young men can become grown men.

Mike Macdonald shares the two key roles he plays as an NFL Head Coach.

Chief Alignment Officer
Chief Reminding Officer

A head coach's job is about ensuring everyone knows the following: Who we are, how we do things, and what we will and won't tolerate.

If you don’t define where you’re going, someone else will. If you don’t reinforce and remind people of what matters, drift takes over.

Vision sets the destination. Standards keep everyone on the road.

Without both, you just have a group of talented people pulling in different directions.

With both, you get a team.

Mike Vrabel gives a masterclass on mindset, self-talk, and dealing with doubt.

"You can't let doubt creep into what you do as a person. I don't care what you do."

"You have to be able to talk to yourself and not listen to yourself so much. You have to tell yourself what to believe."

Read that again about your self-talk. Talk to yourself - don't just listen to yourself.

Your mind will feed you doubt, fear, and negativity. Your job is to challenge it. Tell yourself what's true, not what's easy to believe.

"That doesn't say that there aren't tough times that you struggle with failure. You have to be able to recognize it and know that that is a part of all of us."

Failure isn't the opposite of success - it's part of the path to it.

Successful people don't avoid adversity. They expect it. They know that they must learn from the setbacks and challenges.

"If you coach long enough, you're gonna get fired. Just like if you play long enough, you're gonna get cut or you're gonna get traded. That's just how this business is."

That's the reality. Not cynicism...clarity.

"I've tried to explain it to the players that this is what happens. And I'm grateful for the opportunity to be able to do it with this group of guys."

Tough times happen. The choice is to be a tough person that overcomes those tough times.

My dad, former D1 head baseball coach, touching on the importance of playing catch at our latest coaches clinic.

If you’re wondering where my no nonsense attitude when throwing comes from, here you go 😬😂 And to be clear, he isn’t talking about young kids who are just learning. He’s talking about the kids who CAN throw but are lazy when doing it.

Greg Olsen (@gregolsen88) said, "Hard is good. The earlier you can learn to deal with hard, the easier it gets. Whether we want to shield it from kids now or not, hard is coming."

You can't steal the struggle.

It means growth>fear [🧵]

This topic has been bothering me for a very long time. If you have attended one of my clinics, this video and what I say won’t be new to you!

Nick Saban said, “The capability gap is what you are capable of relative to what you are doing.”

What is the ultimate goal of coaching?

To get the most out of individuals that you can.

To get the most out of your team that you can.

Close the Gap!

Being a Sports Parent is Hard.

Raising an Athlete is Hard.

Parents: As you start this fall sports season, remember...

- What you do matters.
- What you say matters.
- How you parent matters.

As a parent, you impact the culture of the team!

Here are 5 Critical Lessons for Sports Parents:

1. It is Your Child's Experience, Not Yours! Remember that this athletic journey is your child's, not yours. Allow them to own their successes AND failures. Support them without dictating their path.

2. Have a TEAM First Focus - As much as you love your child, remember it is a TEAM sport. It's all about the team, not just your child. Teach them the value of teamwork and collective success. Show them how to sacrifice ME for WE. Celebrate their teammates' Successes!

3. Embrace the Struggle of Team Sports - Accept the struggle of team sports. Embrace the highs and lows. Help your child understand the value of perseverance and resilience. Struggles are part of growth and character development.

4. Navigate, Don't Plow - Be there for support, not to clear all obstacles. Allow them to navigate challenges and learn resilience. Being a snowplow parent denies them the chance to grow.

5. Find JOY in the Journey - Find happiness in the entire sports experience. Celebrate the small victories and lessons learned. The journey’s highs and lows are equally valuable. Teach your child to cherish every moment, win or lose.

The Eagle vs. the Crow.

A great lesson and reminder for coaches who live their life in “the arena.”

Don’t waste your time with the crows.

Simply fly higher.
