Most team culture problems aren’t player issues. They’re adult leaks. Watch closely. When parents… - question officials - criticize coaching decisions at home - make playing time the main topic Kids absorb it. Not because they’re weak. Because they’re wired to. Culture doesn’t stop at the locker room door. It lives in car rides. Group texts. Kitchen table conversations. If a parent’s identity is tied to their child’s role… That pressure shows up in body language. In frustration. In comparison. Here’s the shift: Instead of asking, “How do we control parents?” Ask, “How do we align adults around standards?” When parents understand: - roles are earned - growth > stats - adversity builds strength Everything changes. Team culture isn’t just what coaches allow. It’s what adults model. And kids are always watching. What’s one expectation you clearly communicate to parents before the season starts?

Who doesn’t like a good redemption story? It wasn’t that long ago that Zoey Washington thought she might be done with college basketball. Then Montana reached out. Now she’s here and she’s never been happier. Story: gogriz.com/news/2025/6/20…

Rainna’s 3rd attempt at 5’7” was so close! She finishes 2nd in the state with a season best jump. Great job Rainna!
