"Any high school coach telling your kid that they can't play multiple sports is telling you that because it's in their best interest. The second that coach tells you that, you should be out."@gregolsen88 You're not just taking away the sport. You're taking away the memories.

Life advice with Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman: “The greatest gift you can give to yourself is giving something to somebody and expecting nothing in return.” That’s what Freeman told backup QB Kenny Minchey in relation to supporting starter CJ Carr. These Irish have culture.

Sports will help build your character, but they’ll also expose it. Everyone sees how you handle success, failure, pressure & adversity. The points, medals, highlights & accolades disappear. But the kind of teammate you were? That’s what people remember. That’s who you really are.

Let me just say this, when the game gets tough, the calls don’t go our way, or the scoreboard isn’t what we hoped for… take a deep breath and remember who’s out there with your kids. They’re being coached by men who love them, believe in them, and pour into them every single

The average high school coach gets paid so little that they actually lose money. There’s a bigger cost. Time away from family and worse, they sacrifice their peace. This won’t change. as parents, the least we can do, is let good coaches coach and just be fans of the team

An important message for parents. Negativity at home always finds its way to the locker room. Parents have the power to help build a positive culture…or poison it.

Good coaches play the players who help the team win. It’s not about favorites, it’s their job. Your job is to show up, work, compete & be the best version of yourself every day. Life is full of competition & it never goes away. Let it motivate you, not defeat you. Use it as fuel!

If coaches are pushing you hard, be thankful – it means they care. Be worried when they STOP!

It’s easier to set the standard than it is to keep the standard. It’s even harder to raise the standard but that’s what the best do.

Your culture doesn't automatically change because you do a book study, a team-building activity, bring in different players, paint the locker room, get new uniforms, or put a slogan on a t-shirt. Culture changes when the standards are lived out and reinforced EVERY DAY.

The same coaches people talk crazy about. Pick up and drop kids off with cars in the yard. Feed these kids. Check their grades and talk to teachers. Hug them when things are bad at home. Work weekends trying to make your kids successful. Miss their own kids events. Are

A team will rise or fall on accountability. When standards are high, commitment is strong. When accountability is weak, cracks show—excuses, finger-pointing, inconsistencies. The culture you build determines the buy-in you get. Accountability isn’t optional; it’s the foundation.

If your coach holds everyone accountable, you are VERY fortunate. A lot of coaches allow some players to do whatever they want, whenever they want with absolutely no consequence. Discipline, responsibility & accountability are life prep! If your coach cares that much, respect it!
