I have apparently developed another controversial coaching opinion. If you join the cross country team, the cross country meets are mandatory. I know. Pretty extreme stuff. And if there is a club soccer game scheduled at the same time, we are still going to expect you to be at the XC meet. Apparently this requires explanation now. What surprises me more is the outrage this generates. "You mean they HAVE to go?" Yes. That's how being on a team works. We practice so we can compete. The meets aren't optional bonus content you unlock if nothing better shows up on the family calendar. I didn't realize "athletes are expected to attend competitions" had become one of my hottest coaching takes. But here we are.

This past week, more than 80 Nations of Coaches Character Coaches from across the country gathered in Nashville for our annual Character Coach Training! It was a powerful time of connection, encouragement, and equipping, but also an incredibly strategic time as our Character Coaches received practical tools and important training to help them serve the men’s and women’s basketball programs they walk alongside throughout the year. These Character Coaches are stepping into locker rooms, practices, offices, and everyday moments to invest in coaches and athletes, not just in who they are on the court, but in who they are becoming off of it. We’re incredibly grateful for every Character Coach who said YES to showing up, building relationships, and making an eternal impact in the lives of coaches and athletes across the country. Nashville was just the beginning. Now it’s time to take it back to their teams!

HS Coaches will swear they want multi-sport athletes… Then schedule “optional” workouts, that “aren’t mandatory” during every other single sport’s season. Nothing says support like making a 16-year-old choose which adult to disappoint.

In 2001, Clemson upset No. 1 North Carolina in Littlejohn Coliseum 75-65. You don’t just stroll into Tigertown for the weekend and leave with a win.

Behind our student athletes are some amazing coaches. Thankful these coaches were able to join their former student athletes as they were inducted into the Hall of Fame. Student Intern Bella Bissell was able to catch up with a few and get a few words on this years Hall of Fame Inductee class. @LHSWildcatsLex1 @CoachBHarris @MattOberly

Spring Valley High grad and USC Upstate hoops player CJ Rich one of those athletes in DC today.

Honored to be inducted into the Lexington High School Athletic Hall of Fame. Usain Bolt gave me the vision Kobe Bryant inspired me to chase championships Allen Iverson inspired me to have the confidence to be myself with my style @MattOberly @CoachBHarris @LHS_WILDCATS
