Athletes: This is the real reason you get subbed out. One of the best ways to be a mentally strong athlete is to learn how to own your body language—regardless of external circumstances, opposition, or adversity. Be the athlete whose body language never wavers.

Don't let mistakes define you. Excuses are for the weak. Blame is for cowards. Bad body language? That's quitting without saying it. Champions own their failures and move forward. What's YOUR response when things go wrong?

Sometimes a hard game builds character, good win tonight, team showed alot of grit to come back . Dinger 1 for AJ Jury. Work to do.

The hardest part of coaching has nothing to do with X’s and O’s. Here are 5 hard truths that come with the job… 🧵👇

I'm 55. I wasted 25 years learning this the hard way. But I'll teach you in 5 minutes. If you're soft, stop reading now. Here are 25 uncomfortable truths I wish I knew earlier:

“Young people, you need to bet on yourself. If you think you're that good, you don't need a handout. You just allow your work to speak for itself." Do not ask to be chosen. Work until you cannot be ignored.

“Please don’t ever judge me for wins and losses that’s not who I am as a coach. Relationships- you want it for them.” Championships change careers. Relationships change lives. Athletes. Coaches. Don’t just chase wins. Change people. That’s the real legacy. 🎥@glenn_kinley

AFTER YOUR DEATH, nobody remembers how much money you made. Here are 15 things worth being remembered for. 1. Plant a tree this year. An actual tree.

Today’s varsity softball game at Crestview has been moved up to a 3:00 start due to the projected forecast later this afternoon. @Buckeye_Central @N10athletics @LonnieLMcMillan @TF_Schmidt

Parents: Stop biting off more than you can chew for your kids. You are stretching them far too thin and losing track of what it means to actually be committed to something. The in season sport comes first. Some people out here having their kids play 3 sports in one season. With that you're never going to be able to appease all parties. You're making it harder on yourself. Trust me, if your kid misses a winter baseball practice because he has basketball/wrestling (in season) he's going to be alright. The problem occurs when you have sports that are being played outside of their season and people choose to put those over the in season sport. Any in season sport practice/game/scrimmage comes way before an out of season sport event.

If a player really cares about their team, then they don’t and won’t accept poor attitude/effort from their teammates.

@johnwesley1453 Hi

Lifting In-Season doesn’t make you tired for the game. Being weak makes you tired for the game. @SKG_Strength #Gamedaylift #inseason #develop

Baseball and softball games vs New London on Saturday have been moved to a 1pm start due to the colder temperatures.

“Now we’re just supposed to hug and kiss everybody. You know what? Do your job right. Go to class and you won’t hear about not going to class. Kids have so many distractions they don’t stay focused on the task at hand. Accountability is going to be big until I leave,” Tom Izzo

If your coach is being tough on you and demanding consider it a gift. They probably see some things in you that you don't see in yourself.

A lot of HS players don’t get recruited because they can’t handle the simplest of responsibilities without someone holding their hand

Hard coaching is under attack! I appreciate all the coaches that poured into me and helped me develop into a better man. Sometimes that came with tough love. Young people today need real old school coaching, not cheerleading

Barkley dropped truth 💯 We used to CELEBRATE coaches like Pitino & Izzo. Now it’s clip-chasing to shame greatness 🤦‍♂️ Players don’t need soft… they need being coached hard and accountability . They need adversity. That’s LIFE. #CoachesEdge #CBB

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo: "The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."
