Being a Head Coach is HARD Work. Many parents do not understand the work it takes. I have talked to MANY coaches over my career. Here are 9 Things Coaches Want Parents to Understand. [THREAD] 🧵

Character counts. 🧡

Please share this with every youth athlete you know! This is my son Jack in the picture, but I've encouraged all 3 of my kids to read these 28 mindsets, approaches, and affirmations as often as possible: 1. I strive to play well, not to avoid mistakes. 2. I focus on the process (footwork & form), not the outcome (makes & misses). 3. I work on my game during The Unseen Hours. 4. I Play Present and focus on the play right in front me (the one that just happened). 5. I display confident body language, even when I don’t feel confident. 6. I quickly move to the Next Play after a turnover, missed shot, or a bad call. 7. I use encouraging self-talk to coach myself through challenging situations. 8. I focus on what I can control and let everything else go. 9. I trust my abilities, talents, and preparation. 10. I embrace adverse conditions. 11. I am not afraid to fail… it’s part of the process. 12. I acknowledge that how I think affects how I feel and how I perform. 13. I visualize myself playing well before every practice and game. 14. I listen to (and trust) my coaches. 15. I am the teammate I want to play with. 16. I welcome pressure situations because I know I am prepared. 17. I practice (and work out) with the intensity and focus of a game. 18. I am calm when things feel chaotic. 19. I don’t let physical fatigue cause mental fatigue. 20. I am comfortable being uncomfortable. 21. I think like a champion daily. A consistent mind creates consistent performance. 22. I visualize success: I see it, I feel it, and I believe it. 23. I have a consistent pre-practice and pre-game routine. 24. I embrace challenges and obstacles as opportunities. 25. I compete every play and I compete every day. 26. I learn from every mistake and every loss. 27. I work on my mental and physical skills every day. 28. I love hard work and I take pride in doing difficult things well. NOTE: nearly every one of these mindsets, approaches, and affirmations can be used by adults as well!

"I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion." -Mia Hamm

@thewinningdiff1 Great reminder that you don't have to be a captain to be a leader. Leadership is about action. It's about your behavior, not your title. People follow actions, not intentions.

We’ll give you 1 guess! 🤣 @FallsSchools #BFStatesmen 🤣
