As high school & college sports start back up, my hope and challenge for ALL athletes is to realize how much they GET to do, and not how much they HAVE to do! We all saw how quickly things can be taken away. Be grateful, be enthusiastic, and be ready to get after it!

Today while teaching & coaching I spent more time talking to kids about life and how to navigate it than I did about a subject or sport. I teach/coach kids (some great ones I might add), before I teach science or coach sports This is a people-first profession, and I love it!!!

Each off-season is slightly different from the last, & this year a big focus was teaching guys how to "TRAIN" vs "WORK OUT." So cool to see them attack each day, have intent with their movements, & do things with a purpose! So proud of their mindset & the strides they've made!

Cool video, but athletes shouldn't feel they HAVE to do what their coaches ask bc they're "afraid of them." Athletes will WANT do things when they know their coach cares about them, and wants to make them a better athlete and person through training.
