How Giants fans are feeling this morning:

Principles > Systems ⚡ Formations change. Setups change. The game gets chaotic. But principles stay constant. In Gaelic football, when pressure hits — turnovers, fatigue, noise — players don’t wait for instructions… They fall back on habits. 🔹 U14: Learn habits 🔹 U16: Understand roles 🔹 U18: Read the game 🔹 Adult: Execute under pressure Clear team principles give players: ✅ Confidence ✅ Clarity ✅ Control From youth to senior football, build players who can think, adapt, and perform — no matter the system.

This is just the beginning of my journey and I can’t wait to show you guys all about it!!! GOD has a plan for me , stick the course and it will all work itself out , BRB 🫡 #LFG

Adding depth to coach education does not mean taking on specialist disciplines. We can call on experts for help with S&C, diet and nutrition, psychology and athletic development. People have trained for years in these areas. We need to focus on being better at coaching.

This rules.

You learn a lot when you Coach. After three decades of coaching, here are 28 of the most important things I have learned. Maybe they will resonate with you. 28 Lesson Learned. 1. Coaching is all about relationships. Work to build relationships with your players. 2. Play the long game with culture. There are no shortcuts to success. 3. Develop your leaders. Don’t hope or wish for leaders. 4. You are never as good as you think in a win. And after a loss, you are never as bad. 5. When in doubt, less is more. The earlier you learn this, the better. 6. As the coach, you are the leader. Lead by example in all you do. 7. Culture is what you allow and what you emphasize. 8. Create practices with a purpose. 9. Do things in groups of 3’s. It is simple and easy to remember. 10. Energy givers make a team. Reward your energy givers. 11. Put your players in situations where they can use their strengths. 12. Communication is vital. Be clear, concise, and proactive. 13. Remember, comparison is the thief of joy. Don’t compare yourself to others. 14. Be a lifelong learner. The best coaches are constantly learning and getting better. 15. There is no substitute for hard work. As a coach, model the work ethic you want. 16. Culture is every day. You must think this way. If not, your culture will erode. 17. Find a supportive spouse. Coaching is challenging and time-consuming. 18. Over-communicate roles for your players and team. 19. Remember, leadership is a lifestyle. Be a servant leader. 20. Do not try to please anyone. It is impossible and will only cause problems. 21. Be incredibly honest with kids and parents. Do not sugarcoat anything. 22. Do yourself a favor and be very organized. It shows competence. 23. Celebrate the small wins. Use the game within the game to set goals. 24. Focus on the process, not the prize. 25. Always celebrate WE over ME. 26. Think about your player's mental health. It is more important than ever. 27. Get to know your parents when their kids are young. These relationships matter. 28. Enjoy the time with your players and have fun!
