Some intense coaching from Maryland coach Brenda Frese to her star player Oluchi Okananwa 👀

I had a great junior day visit at Taylor U. I loved the team culture and their emphasis on faith.

Using @OVRPerformance Velocity Cubes today to teach our guys how to move weight with intent, efficiency, and explosiveness. When they can see the data, they buy into the work. Objective feedback. Maximum effort. Real growth. #WIN #EARNIT

1) Life is unfair sometimes. 2) People get oppotunities because of who they know, where they went to school or because they just look good in a suit. 3) This isn't isolated to the US or the coaching profession. Do the best u can with what u got and keep knocking on doors.

The sport has outgrown the stipends. Coaches need to more all year and don’t get paid for it. This isn’t a Florida issue, it’s a nationwide issue outside of a few exceptions.

You will lose respect if you don't confront people:

Why Coaching Is Harder Than People Think (A Holiday Reminder)… Because coaching isn’t just about plays, drills, or game nights. It’s about people. It’s about walking into practice every day and managing emotions you didn’t create but are responsible for. Your own. Your players. Your assistants. Parents. Administrators. Fans. It’s about teaching kids who are all at different stages. Different maturity levels. Different confidence levels. Different home situations. And somehow holding them to the same standards while still meeting them where they are. It’s about decisions that look simple from the stands but feel heavy from the sideline. Who plays. When. Why. How you communicate it. And how that decision might land on a 16-year-old who ties their identity to minutes. It’s about losing sleep over kids who won’t buy in. Over conversations you need to have. Over mistakes you replay in your head long after everyone else moved on. It’s about being judged by people who see the outcome, not the process. The scoreboard, not the hours. The result, not the relationships. And yet, you show up again. You plan. You teach. You model. You care. As the season slows and the holidays arrive, this is the reminder: What you do matters. Even when it goes unseen. Even when it feels heavy. Even when it’s hard. Coaching is about influence. And influence lasts longer than any season. That’s why coaching is harder than people think. And also why it matters so much. As the year winds down, I hope you find a little rest, a little perspective, and a lot of pride in the work you’re doing. 🎄Happy Holidays, Coach.

For all of you “athletes” running away from … or trying to hide in the weight room… this is a pic of the GOAT - Michael Jordan. LIFTING … all season long and YES, regularly on NBA GAME DAYS. Note: Read what MJ’s trainer said in pic below. Note: pic and story Credit IB Network and Tim Grover KEY!!! **** Lifting helps wake-up and ignite your nervous system to be ready to compete! You don’t have to go ballistic (no maxing out in-season), but you should get your body ready to perform at an elite level!!!! … while maintaining strength that you will critically need throughout the entire season to be at your best. Of course continue to execute flexibility routines, eat healthy, hydrate, and put your phones away at night and sleep. 8 plus hours if possible. @nextlevelbb @DirtBroUSA
