Say it with me now. A coach holding you to a standard is not being mean.

The Parent Poison… Most parents want the best for their kids. But sometimes, without realizing it, they slowly poison the very team their child is part of. It rarely starts with something dramatic. It starts small. A comment in the car ride home. “Why didn’t the coach play you more?” A comparison. “You’re better than that kid.” A quiet complaint at the dinner table. “That coach doesn’t know what he’s doing.” Kids hear everything. And when they hear it, something changes. Doubt creeps in. Blame grows. Trust fades. The mindset shifts from team first to me first. What begins in the living room eventually shows up in the locker room. You see it in body language. You hear it in conversations. You feel it in the culture. Instead of unity, there are whispers. Instead of accountability, there are excuses. Instead of growth, there is resentment. Great teams cannot survive that environment. Because the best teams are built on three things: Trust. Sacrifice. Shared purpose. When players start believing the problem is everyone else, those things disappear. Parents play a powerful role in a team’s culture whether they realize it or not. The healthiest teams have parents who: Support the program. Encourage resilience. Teach their kids to handle adversity. They remind their children: Work harder. Be a great teammate. Control what you can control. They don’t feed excuses. They build character. And here’s the truth most people miss: A parent’s influence extends far beyond their own child. It affects the locker room. It affects the culture. It affects the entire team. Great teams require unity, not whispers of criticism. So the challenge for parents is simple. Be the adult in the room. Guard your words. Model respect. Support the team. Because what starts at home always finds its way onto the court, the field, or the locker room. And the best parents don’t poison the culture. They protect it.

Another Coach: Are you worried other QBs are throwing all winter and your son is playing basketball? Me: Not one bit. He's on two teams. Hes sprinting, jumping, conditioning dribbling, shooting and passing. Hes finding space and closing space and learning to see the floor. Most importantly he's competing. He's competing hard in practices and in games 3 days a week. He's been in close games, overtime games, he's missed some big shots, he's hit some big shots, turned the ball over at the worst possible time and been beat on defense. He's been abused in games by better kids and he's dominated games. He's been happy, sad, pissed, wanted to quit, change teams and wondered how he could be on 🔥 one day and suck so bad the next. He's made new friends and played with different coaches with different personalities. Hes started games and sat the bench. He's been exposed to so much and learning to navigate all of it. So no, I'm not worried. We can start throwing in the spring when he'll probably be sick of hoops and ready for a change. #LTAD

As the HS girls basketball season winds down, all these conferences will be announcing their All Conference Teams. I recently saw a local conference release their honors & here's a bit of advice for some of you HS coaches ... 1. A 1st Team All Conference player can win you a minimum of 4 conference games by THEMSELVES. If your ONLY 2 conference wins are against a winless conference opponent, I'm sorry you DO NOT have a 1st Team All Conference player. 2. If the team you coach does not finish in the top 3 of the conference, you DO NOT have 4 all conference players! Stop putting players up that are not deserving of honors. Lastly & most importantly stop screwing over DESERVING players b/c you feel your player who put up big stats against the two worst teams in the conference is deserving of all conference honors because reality is THEY AREN'T! When you are sitting in that All Conference meeting you can't say this stuff to the other coaches b/c they'll screw over your players & not vote for them. It SHOULD BE SAID, so I said it for you coaches!

If playing time is all you focus on you are missing the point. True value comes from being a great teammate, working hard, being unselfish, making memories, & building lifelong friendships. Let kids play and grow. Unnecessary pressure from the outside is not healthy for anyone.
