Life lately. 🤘🏽🟧 🟪 So darn proud and blessed to be surrounded by incredible people and the best support group.

Never understood H.S. coaches who ignore freshman or JV programs. That’s the future of your varsity team. Then they complain about no depth, culture, or players ready for varsity. If you only coach varsity, you’re not building a program—you’re just coaching a team.

Writing our own story built on culture and connection. Our story continues in year #✌🏼! Congratulations to the inaugural Richland Swimming & Diving Boys State Team of 2026. #BeAPro | #WeAreRichland

How Prosper Richland, in its first year of existence, has succeeded in many sports. Richland has the smallest enrollment of Prosper ISD’s four high schools but has made the playoffs in every team sport in which it was eligible for postseason play. Read: dallasnews.com/high-school-sp…

Incredible night spent at the PISD Coaches’ Ball. I am so grateful for Coach Jamison & Coach Gerfers for the kind of work that they do not only for kids, but for me. As MUCH as they’ll deny it, Richland Swimming & Diving is what it is because of them! #BeAPro | #WeAreRichland

There’s no better display than Brandon in what it means to #BeAPro daily. From never diving before to placing one spot away from the state podium. So grateful he’s part of our PROgram!

I've had multiple coaches win #UILState tell me their best coaching job wasn't done when they won state...it was taking a team with 2-8 talent and making them 7-4 #txhsfb

Resurrection Day 2026 | What a powerful reminder that the gift of God’s love is freely given. So powerful!

Giving this one a go on this Easter weekend. I was already hooked by the introduction.

ELITE to say the least. Congratulations to Chloe Brandon, freshman, and Ryan DuBrul, sophomore, on being named to the 2026 THSCA Super Elite Team. #BeAPro | #WeAreRichland

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

HOOK ‘EM🤘

D1 = 6am lifts D2 = 6am lifts D3 = 6am lifts JUCO = 6am lifts NAIA = 6am lifts The level changes… the work doesn’t.

This is so important! Love it!

Who you are some of the time is who you are all of the time…🤘🏽🙏🏽

The best high school coaches aren’t afraid to: - Bench their top scorer for a lazy defensive possession. - Praise the kid who only plays 5 minutes but talks all game on defense. - Push their entire team to become better, even when it’s uncomfortable. Standards > Stats.

We get to serve the best kids, in the best school, in the best school district. #WeAreRichland | #BeAPro

What is the Cost of Leadership? It costs $0 to say “hello.” It costs $0 to pick up trash It costs $0 to say “please.” It costs $0 to be kind It costs $0 to say “thank you.” It costs $0 to encourage others It costs $0 to smile Lead by Example. It costs nothing. ✍️ @GregBerge
