5 things that will put you ahead of 97% of all coaches: 1. Be organized: Have a plan for every practice, every meeting, every season. 2. Communicate clearly: With players, parents, and assistants. Clarity wins. 3. Coach mindset, not just skills: Confidence. Toughness. Focus.

Wise words from Reid Ouse. "You're not that cool. You're not that special. So get over yourself." It’s not about tearing players down. It’s about truth-telling. The best athletes aren’t entitled. They show up, work hard, and stay humble. Talent is common. Character isn’t.
Want to get recruited? Here’s a message for you: Get over yourself or college coaches will get over you!

You are the best @MinnesotaMillea! Thanks for all the great things you have done for the MSHSL, Schools, and Students!
Today is my final MSHSL sporting event as I fade off into the sunset (I will retire in August). In honor of this auspicious occasion, my family of weirdos surprised me and the rest of the universe by wearing shirts bearing mostly photos of me when I really rocked it in the 70s.

Deion Sanders said, "I want to see you practice. Because how you practice is who you are." Greatness isn't built on hype. It's built in the quiet moments - when nobody's watching. Preparation. Consistency. Effort. (@DeionSanders)
