Wiser Sports Leadership

@KSRonX The Standard is the Standard. Must begin at the top with the coach, and followed by every player. As coach you just wish someone well if they can’t or won’t adhere to that protocol.

Mark Pope sent a message to a few players tonight.

@WKU_Soccer Happy Birthday Coach!!! Hope it’s your best ever. Have a wonderful Holiday Season.

Join us in wishing Head Coach Jason Neidell a Happy Birthday! 🎉

Through all the Head Coaching Moves, little is made of what happens w/Assistant Coaches. Most move on & take other jobs. Many are left to fiend for themselves. I hope & pray that you make the effort before you leave, to place/recommend those who worked diligently on your behalf.

What happens when one of your player's is struggling? "Suck it up! Be tough! Don't let them beat you down?" Challenging them at that moment may be to strong. Only you know best, but how about reminding them, "I've seen you at your best, I know what you can do." Now show them!

"Before you act, listen Before you react, think Before you spend, earn Before you criticize, wait Before you pray, forgive Before you quit, try" Ernest Hemingway

Congratulations to Coach louis_jones@georgetowncollege.edu. He is simply relentless. Built a men's team at Campbellsville Harrodsburg, only to see it shut down, and now leading Georgetown Men's Team to bigger heights! No one more passionate and driven!!!

Have a player that's under achieving? How about building them up, painting a picture of what or who they can become, and how much you believe in them. Get them started, develop a plan, hold them accountable. The rest is in their hands.

Before you PRESUME, REACT, CONFRONT OR ENGAGE A PLAYER, OR THE WHOLE TEAM IN A HEATED SITUATION, take time to walk away & mentally calm yourself & THINK IT THROUGH..POINTED WORDS OF ANGER & DISDAIN CAN NEVER BE ERASED. YOU ARE THE ADULT AND ROLE MODEL THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER.

"Let It Go!" Unforced Errors, Mistakes, Misplayed ball. Experienced by even the best. Watch what they do next. They don't dwell on those moments. They IMMEDIATELY focus on CONTROLLABLES. Effort, Focus, Mentality, Positivity & Replaying SUCCESSFUL MOMENTS IN THEIR MIND.

@BansheesSoccer That is awesome coach!!!

Goal! 4-3 with .36 seconds left in the game.
