Uncoachable vs. Coachable:
Uncoachable players:
-Take it personally
-Feel they’re being singled out
-Become very defensive
Coachable players:
-Open to feedback/criticism
-Want to be coached
-See it as a way to get better

As AAU careers will be ending today, please THANK your parents, HS coaches, trainers and AAU coaches for sacrificing time and money driving you around, endless workouts, putting you up in hotels, meals and allowing you a platform to earn a scholarship.

‼️ The difference between players spending time vs investing time shows in the summer. Spending time players need perfect circumstances(too hot/cold, no music, too busy). Invested players just need a place to work & get better (gym, weight room) & they do. Which are you?
What a year for
@CoachHugheyUH
and the Cougars!
- First win over ranked opponent since 2010-11
- First win over opponent ranked 13th or higher since 2003-04
- Most conference wins since joining The American
...and we aren't done yet!

Hell family and friends! Thanks for all your prayers! Shae and Hunter are doing awesome! After a week late, we were blessed with a 9lbs 5oz & 22 inches King!!! Again, your prayers are always appreciated! Thanks sooo much again!
Congratulations to my wife Shae for winning Teacher of the Year at Frost Elementary School. You are a great example of tough times never last but tough people do! Hunter and I Love you!

Culture doesn't change when coach tells a player she's wrong. It changes when players tell other players: no that's not how we do things here.
Culture & Teamwork doesn't come naturally. It must be taught! Appreciation, caring&tough love! Everyone must buy-in!

Every Coach is asking their team:
Can I Trust You?
Can I trust you to hold yourself accountable? To think WE over ME? To do the right thing? To accept your role? To be 100% committed? To do your job? To get in the gym on your own?
Trust is Earned & Demonstrated Daily!

took time out of his game prep for Alabama in the 3rd Round of the WNIT to help send the men’s team off to San Antonio.
He bumped fists with Kelvin Sampson as he headed to the bus.

Is how hard you work aligned with how great you want to be?
Are you training your mind to be stronger than your feelings?
Everybody can get excited when it’s time to play the games. But few are willing to pay the price and sacrifice in the off-season!

Houston outlasts Georgia Tech in double-overtime thriller! The Cougars got 26 points from Jasmyne Harris and Alyssa Okoene in the win!

RECAP: …
Failure keeps you humble...Success keeps you growing....but only faith and determination keeps you going! So keep believing in yourself and controlling your thoughts. A positive mindset is everything!

Above the line behavior builds winning teams. Teams are only as strong as the willingness to connect with one another and to help others bring out their best each day. If the focus is selfish the results are often failure, disappointment, and regret. We control our mindset!
We celebrated a dynamic week of being ABOVE THE LINE on and off the court!!!! Slip & Slide time!!! Work Hard -Play Hard!!!
