Thanks to @TexasTechMBB asst 🏀 coach @rncooper58 for delivering an awesome msg at Father-Son Camp. Kids need dad to be dad, not coach. Use sports to teach kids to deal w/ life’s good & bad. Help kids learn to celebrate team success. Dangers of quitting when we don’t get our way

The last Sandies men’s basketball team to win a state championship was in 1986, coached by the late Allen Simpson (senior Slade Simpson’s granddad). These guys are spread across the US but have put together a compilation video for our team. #floorburnhigh .

Thank you to The Legend, Coach Dippel, for speaking to dads at camp. His message:. Don’t be a helicopter/lawnmower parent. Model positive treatment of officials/coaches. Parenting is hard, but you are the biggest influence on your son’s life and you’ll be his very first hero.
