You may think I’m grumpy, but I just call it like I see it.

Every coach should listen to this 2:30 from Nick Saban. Anyone who says a player is “uncoachable” is not a coach.
Nick Saban GOLD 🥇 “Negative experiences without teaching kills morale.” Read that again. This is what being a “transformational” coach is all about. Are you about winning or are you about teaching? Are you about transactions or about relationships?

Love this! It’s also a good reminder that players also have favorites — those who they’ll always consider incredibly influential in their lives. I’m sure some coaches will be offended by this, but the great ones will be “💯”.
On the eve of @IHSAA1 Girls Golf State Finals this offers insight on what many coaches are looking for in players. While it’s directed at basketball, it certainly fits golf. My “favorite” players always check a lot of these boxes! @GoGrizzlyCubs @indianahsgolf

@RocksGolf 2nd? For the 2nd day in a row? With teammate Jake Cesare getting 2nd individually at State? All during the 2nd week of June? Wait a second…I’m seeing a trend.

With the @indianahsgolf season now over, let’s give a 👏👏👏 to the coaches whose #1 mission was to make high school golf an amazing experience for their players, especially the seniors, whether they made it to State Finals or came in last place in their Sectional. #TrueHeroes

@BigOne5516 @indianahsgolf Absolutely amazing high school career - congrats Aidan! Although, a bit of a slacker for not getting that 4th Top 5 finish. 😉

@indianahsgolf Hopefully @IndianaGolf can carve out a little money from the millions being spent on their new office to invest in a better scoring app. It’s great to have live scoring but it shouldn’t be so painful to see real-time team scores.

Top surprises from Day 1 of the @IHSAA1 State Finals: 1. @LeoHSGolf! Only 5 shots back in 6th. 2. @hsegolf - still lurking, just 6 shots back, but didn’t see them being T-7 at this point. 3. @AthleticsValpo - I totally overestimated the support Gutierrez would get

Will a new coach who knows what it’s like to win a state championship be the difference maker for Zionsville this year? Ernie’s Projected Finish: Top 4
