As a young GA in Nebraska’s S&C program, I was never given the task of writing training programs until I learned how to coach on the weight room floor, and interact with athletes. It was one of the most valuable skills I have ever learned as a coach—it was—IS—everything!

Instead of telling coaches to “Be the coach you wish you had”… Help them develop the proper skills so that one day, their athletes say, “I want to be the coach I’m glad I had!” Nothing changes if nothing changes. – at Wilbraham, MA

Athletes - motivation, discipline and hard work is on YOU, not your coaches! Take care of these so your coaches can take care of YOU! – at Ludlow, MA

Want interns but can’t/won’t pay them? Add value. However, whenever, wherever. 🧠 Pay with knowledge 🌯 Pay with food 👕 Pay with gear 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Pay with community 😁 Pay with confidence

Struggling to get started? Choose functional over optimal. Optimal is ideal. Functional is realistic. Understand what you’d like to do to help plan what you’re going to do. – at Wilbraham, MA

Reminder to all youth parents out there… When you yell and try to coach your kids from the sidelines, you: 👀 Distract your kids from the tasks at hand 📉 Devalue the expertise of the coach you hired/trust 💥 Damage their playing ability Like Gwen Stefani, “Don’t speak!” – at Wilbraham, MA

Coaches - showing a highlight video the day/night before a game isn’t living in the past. Nor is it used to just “hype” kids up. Use evidence of performance accomplishments to: ⬆️ Confidence and self-efficacy ⬆️ Motivation ⬇️ Anxiety and stress Remind them to renew them. – at Lewisboro, NY

"Simple mindset shifts: - I'm not hurt, I'm healing. - I'm not losing, I'm learning. - I was not rejected, I was redirected. Negative things happen. Negative mindsets make them harder." – @JamesClear 🔑 point: REFRAME TO RELOAD! – at Springfield, MA
