Parents of young athletes: You're being sold a bill of goods… Early specialization… It's a fear campaign… Its a billion dollar dumpster fire saying: To become a great athlete you must: Specialize early… Train year-round… Compete often… If you don’t your child is going to miss out and fall behind And for the most part:  It’s complete bullshit… What it really is: Early Development of sport-specific skills Early success in sport Little to no development of fundamental movement skills Poor performances later in the sport Higher chance of injury Higher Chance of Burnout from Sport Early start…Early finish! It's a complete lack of understanding of how humans develop… During the first 14 years of Life: Be a human first:  Do plenty of activities that involve: Rolling Crawling Climbing Reaching Bending Rotating Standing (1 foot) Changing levels: Be an athlete second: Sprint Jump Hop Climb Wrestle swim/bike/ski catch/kick/throw/trap Etc Sprinkle in lots of activities and multiple sports!  I can't guarantee a Div 1 scholarship but I can say that kids will be more Coordinated, stronger, more flexible, cardiovascularly fit, more resistant to fatigue and injury, and also be calmer, less stressed, leaner, and able to learn new skills. Skills like complex sports specific skills. #LTAD D.M. me for details about youth athletic development courses for purchase

Jay Wright (Villanova) was a Culture KING. Why? Here are 5 Jay Wright quotes that shed some light💡. 1: “We have a saying that everyone’s role is different, but everyone’s status is the same. It’s a reminder that no matter how bright the spotlight gets, we are all part of something much larger than ourselves.” - WE > ME - Be a star in your role 2: “The most important characteristic any of us have is our attitude. It’s a concept that permeates everything you do. We all bring our attitude to every situation.” - Attitude is everything - Be an energy giver 3: “We're not complex in what we do X-and-O-wise, but we do spend a lot of time on how we react mentally to every situation.” - Simple Wins - Mental toughness 4: “If you think about how good you are as opposed to what the next challenge is going to be, then you’ve already lost. We have to stay humble.” - Humble wins - Gratitude matters 5: “After we won in 2016, the goal wasn't to win another [national title]. The goal was to keep our culture strong. We knew that for us, that was the best chance of winning it again. If we tried to win it another way, we weren't going to win it anyway.” - Culture is Every Day ----- Follow me @gregberge for more actionable ideas on Coaching, Leadership, Culture, and Teams.

It's not a line. It's a measurement. A measurement of commitment. A measurement of sacrifice. A measurement of respect. A measurement of integrity. A measurement of fortitude. A measurement of effort. It's a symbol to remind us that greatness lies in the smallest of details.

"She's not a spotlight-type person. She’s truly looking to make her team and everyone around her better." Vernon's Monica Curry is New Jersey’s leading scorer. The "total package" who lets her play speak for itself #njsoccer @vthsathletics @VTHSGSoccer nj.com/highschoolspor…
