Being on a team is a privilege, being held accountable is a privilege, competing is a privilege, being held to a championship standard is a privilege. Never forget, it’s an opportunity, not an obligation.

It’s easy being the hunter chasing greatness. When you become the hunted the pressure rises. Do not complain, embrace it and prove why you are at the top.

We’ve mistaken comfort for care. Kids need tough love more than ever.

“Coach is too hard on us” usually means “Coach believes in us enough to demand more, but I am ok with average”

If you want to reach the top in life or in sports it takes more than talent. You need support, truth tellers, accountability, and MAXIMUM sacrifice. Nothing great comes easy.

Best advice I have ever received. Go straight to the person who made the decision if you want a direct answer about a problem.

Grateful for the ones who told me NO growing up. Real coaches, parents, and mentors care enough to correct you.

Sports bring out emotion because people care. The key is learning to channel that emotion toward one shared goal.

Heard a great coach once tell his players: “I’ll do everything in my power to give you what you need because I care about you. I can’t promise you everything you want. You have to go earn that.”

3-0, 2-1, 1-2, 0-3…. It doesn’t matter. People will find a way to be upset about coaching decisions.

Mental and Physical! Accountability must be the standard on and off the field. The little things matter in everything you do. Are you an accountable teammate? Do your actions show it? Can you take coaching? Is the first finger you point at yourself?
“When you start building a program and build your foundation in toughness, that’s not an easy thing to do. It’s one thing to say, it’s another to live it every single day. Toughness isn’t about fighting people. Toughness is a mental aspect to the way you approach every day,”
