Players: Enjoy your HS playing days. There’s nothing like playing in front of a crowd of your community members, friends & family & playing alongside classmates. The sense of community & school pride is unbeatable. Relish it; rejoice in it; respect it. It’s over before you know.

Your athletic career is most likely temporary; your character lasts a lifetime. The person you are is far more important than the player you are! What are your habits/routines? Are you grateful, humble, honest. Do you care for others? Be someone people respect on & off the court!

Hold each other accountable! Talk! Talk! Talk! BAD teammates never talk AVERAGE teammates talk when winning GOOD teammates talk often GREAT teammates never stop talking CHAMPIONSHIP teammates always talk about talking more... in practice, huddles, at halftime, in time outs!

Athletes: If you have time to learn a TikTok dance, you have time to shoot, dribble, swing, swim, throw, tumble, condition, jump, sprint, train, etc. Where do your priorities lie? What’s more important to you: social media & your social image or improving yourself for your sport?

Players: You don't realize that your body language is like a billboard. It screams everything you’re not saying. Primarily, it shows your toughness level & whether you can handle adversity. Keep positive body language even when things are hard. It shows you can overcome anything!

Players: The weight room does a lot more than just build your body. It builds character/mental toughness. It identifies weaknesses & reveals assertiveness. It creates leaders & shows who has drive & those who fake it. Through its grit, it reveals who’ll be successful & who won’t.

Players: Your body language toward missed shots, teammates mistakes, being whistled for fouls, getting your butt kicked on a play, being subbed out of the game, how you lose & handle any adversity tells coaches all they need to know. What’s your body language saying about you?

Instead of just telling teammates to work harder, show them how to work hard. Instead of just telling them to have a great attitude, display one. Before you can lead them with your words, you have to lead them with your actions. BE the kind of teammate you want. Lead by example!

If a player doesn’t play hard all the time, no skill they bring to the table can offset that. Playing hard is a prerequisite to playing. Period. Nobody succeeds by making half an effort. Make sure your players understand that laziness is unacceptable. Competing to WIN is a skill!

Players: Have good body language no matter what happens. Coaches shouldn’t be battling & correcting it. Great body language impresses coaches of all levels. It says you’re confident, positive & willing. Body language is 1 of the best indicators of your character & toughness level

Once you become a coach, it’s not about you anymore. It’s about your players & their dreams. Not what you want for them, but what they want for themselves. You’re there to help them go as far as they can to reach their potential. Not matter how big/small the dream, it’s theirs!

Players: If you think HS coaching & practices are hard & you can’t handle them, you sure won’t be able to tolerate playing in college! Lots of kids say they want to play in college, but few can adapt. Learn to embrace the hard parts now because college is a whole different level!

The value of sports is that they BUILD your character. The reality is that they will also REVEAL your character. Nobody’ll remember how many points you scored, but they’ll remember how hard you worked/what kind of teammate you were. Like it or not, your character is your legacy!

Let your kids be coached. Let them get used to coaches holding them accountable. If you save your children from discomfort & hardship, you often keep them from realizing their own strength, abilities. Let them grow their character so they can become confident, independent adults!
