Being coach’s kids can be tough. We miss their games, their school events, etc. and, at times, spend more time with our teams than them. For these reasons, sharing moments like tonight with them remains priceless! (Thankful to our team for making this memory a reality!) #Family

Without the opportunity to evaluate recruits in person, obviously a challenge for all involved and importance of film heightened. One of most revealing parts of these film studies-how a player reacts to the success and/or failure of a teammate. #LookingforHedgehogs

Best Leaders/Teammates I have seen = When they reach a point of fatigue or adversity, focus remains on supporting and inspiring teammates and not on their individual struggle. Result is often a rise in level of production by team as a whole.
