Houston HC Kelvin Sampson - Why Coaches Fail - "I think the coaches that fail at every level, are the coaches that are passive aggressive. Passing aggressive coaches are usually afraid to hold kids accountable, they rationalize." - "If you're going to build a culture, the first thing you have to come to grips with, you're going to have confrontation." - Consistency - Competence - Confidence - Confrontation

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo: "The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."

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

“win the drill” great competitive mindset.

Urban Meyer says the quiet part out loud. Be the best player on your high school team first. Development > camps. Mastery > 7-on-7 trophies. College coaches recruit game tape, not weekends.

Did I understand a single word of it? I did not. Was it a vibe? It was.

New England Patriots HC Mike Vrabel - Coaching Growth - "Do the best job at the job you have." - "Be creative. It's only crazy if it doesn't work. Continue to be creative with drills, how you teach players, how you stimulate their learning." - "Believe in something. Figure out what you believe in & then find a way to get the players to believe in it."

“I'm a firm believer that the culture of your program is established and reinforced in the weight room. — Tough teams win. Tough people win in this game.” - Jon Sumrall

“I think we sent a message first of all to society that if you keep your nose to the grindstone and work hard and you got the right people, anything’s possible,” Curt Cignetti. Toughness, Effort and Character makes a difference.

Mike Tomlin Coaching Maurkice Pouncey “Sometimes we got to put that person pride to the side when the cause is bigger than you.” #steelers

MOOD-

Pressure doesn’t create mistakes. It reveals what you practiced. Your talent doesn’t take over. Your standard does. And if your standard is “sometimes,” that’s what you’ll be when it matters. We do what we trained.

To those that feel the need to criticize Rio Grande Valley football players:

Nick Saban on how hard he will coach you. It’s not criticism, coaches are trying to get you better!
