My hope is that every athlete I coached, understood that while I sought to bring out their best, I also was one of the people who cared about them the most.

Health insurance: Pay monthly for nothing, if something happens, pay more, plus teeth and eyeballs cost extra! @RobertKennedyJr - There has gotta to be a better way.

@JoshMickey1 🗣️ Facts

As a head coach the most important thing you will do is hire good assistant coaches. It’s not talked about enough!

Why didn’t anybody from the press ask Jerome Powell yesterday why the Federal Reserve Building project is behind schedule and over budget?

Confidence is the natural result of repeated demonstrated performance. It’s shows up the moment you stop thinking, and just do.

I don’t want my tax dollars paying Congress during a shutdown. I want my tax dollars paying the single mom working at TSA.

@CoachTatum90 I loved to clinic until the time away from family got to be too much. For a college coach you go from training camp, to the season, to recruiting, to clinics, to spring ball, to spring recruiting, to summer camps, to a short vacation, and back to training camp.

I don’t understand coaches who refuse to clinic. Not in person. Not at events. Not at colleges. Sharing, learning, and growing the game should never stop. That mindset just blows my mind.

I sold the Glazier Clinics business after 30 years and am committed to solving a giant systemic coaching problem before I retire. No industry relies on personal networks to fill jobs the way coaching does. It costs programs, it costs athletes, and it keeps great coaches on the sidelines. It shows up three ways. Experienced coaches sit out. There are qualified coaches in nearly every community who would still be coaching if they knew about the right opportunity. They never hear about openings because programs rely on personal networks to fill assistant roles. Experienced coaches who relocate never reconnect. Every year coaches move for work, family or life changes and want to stay involved. But there is no consistent way for them to see which programs near them have openings. Strong coaches land in new communities and disappear from the profession entirely. New coaches don't know how to get in. Former players, teachers, parents and community members want to coach but have never had a consistent place to find assistant roles or understand how to begin. The issue was never interest. It was always visibility. That is why I built CoachBridge and started the 1 Million New Coaches Initiative. We already have almost 5000 coaching jobs posted. Programs post assistant jobs at no charge. Coaches post profiles at no charge. More visibility means more people enter coaching every year. If you are an AD, a head coach building a staff, or someone who belongs in coaching, this is for you. 📷

@ChrisCoughlinCB Great idea. Let me know if I could be of assistance.

@ClifMarshall True for coaches as well.

Sports make a great game - but a terrible God. Listen carefully if you’re an athlete… One day the season will end. One day the career will end. One day the applause will stop. If your identity is in the game, you’ll feel lost when the game is gone. But if your identity is in God, the game simply becomes a platform. Sports are meant to be played. They were never meant to be worshipped. Train hard. Compete with excellence. Honor God with your effort. But never forget: Your purpose is bigger than your performance. “You shall have no other gods before me.” {Exodus 20:3}

Happiness is the result of having zero expectations of others, taking 100% responsibility for your life, and being grateful for what you have.

@amitisinvesting @KobeissiLetter Disagree. Quarterly reports are too frequent and lead to emotional decisions by many investors. Semi-annual reports will be more productive and prosperous for retail investors.

@KobeissiLetter This would be a disaster. Yes I am biased because I cover earnings intensely but man less transparency would not be fun.

BREAKING: The US Securities and Exchange Commission is preparing a proposal to eliminate the requirement to report earnings quarterly and instead give companies the option to share results twice a year. The proposal is expected to be published as soon as next month.

Most people want a mirror not a mentor. Someone who reflects their thinking back, validates the plan, and confirms the decision. Real mentorship is a person in your corner who asks the question you never thought to ask, sees the flaw you thought went unnoticed, and respects you enough to be honest. That relationship is rare because it requires someone willing to tell the truth, and someone willing to hear it.

Curt Cignetti on the desire players have to be coached… In my new book, 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐞, I dedicate a chapter to Reflection and Feedback. As part of my writing on feedback, I talk about the importance of being a great follower of coaches, mentors, critical friends, and teammates… …yes, teammates! It’s fair to say, I dedicate a sizeable portion of a chapter on 𝐡𝐨𝐰 to be coach able. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 to follow leaders. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 to garner feedback. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 to reduce the experience of ego-driven thoughts, emotions, and feelings that hold players back from seeking feedback. It’s the 𝐡𝐨𝐰 that’s important!

@CoachGroshek Spot on!

A successful coaching staff is a group of alpha males who have the balls to voice their opinion....with the stomach to handle being told no and say, "yes sir" From position coaches to Coordinators....and coordinators to HC. Nothing else should be acceptable. You find a group that can function like that.....you found a quality football staff

@BRo32 Agree 100% with you Brian.

Head coaches are getting let go in Years 4-5 not because they experimented. But the unwillingness to adjust when things didn't work. Here's the pattern I'm seeing: 🧵
