High School sports coaches if you have rough 1st year just hang in there and build for the future. I had 7 kids this year in track and field. Focus on the kids you have and grow. The numbers will grow. The future is always bright. #adaptandovercome

Nick Saban GOLD 🥇 “Negative experiences without teaching kill morale.” This is such an important coaching lesson. Players are going to fail. They are going to make mistakes. The question: What do we do with it?

HOT TAKE: You can be a great coach and still have a losing season. You can be a poor coach and win a championship. The scoreboard doesn’t always tell the whole story.

Championship teams don’t get lucky. They take their vitamins. Attitude. Belief. Commitment. Discipline. Energy. Focus. Grit. Humility. Simple. Not easy. Which one does your team need most right now?

What if fitness isn't the bottleneck to faster speed? What if we don't care about VO2 Max in HS XC? What if we focused on more quality work and got that through 400s and 800s? There's heart rate training and then there's what @CoachClarkTF has cooked up this season. It's why Trenton (@AltamontXCTF ) and I love talking with Demetrius because we're challenged to think differently.

The victim mindset is a coach’s worst nightmare. Blaming, making excuses, living in fear, comparing, refusing ownership; it’s a recipe for mediocrity. Winners reject it.

Congratulations to our regional qualifiers of Tobi and Abby. They got to pie @coachclarktf in the face for making it to regionals. Also our senior athletes of Ally and Connor ran their final race at New Prairie. They also pied Coach Clark in the face for final farewell.

Mack Brown shares the winning habits that he tried to instill in all of his teams. He calls them the 3 C's. 1. Complacency "Complacency is a disease and it's really hard to fight that disease for all of us." Success hinges on doing the work, while complacency lacks enthusiasm and is full of indifference. "Every day that you get up, if you don't have an edge and complacency sets in, somebody's gonna do better than you. 'Cause somebody's gonna have that edge and they're after you." 2. Consistency "Consistency is a gift, but it's so hard to do. 'Cause if you're complacent, you can't be consistent." You can't show up sometimes and expect to win. 3. Confidence "If you don't have confidence in this world, you get eaten up." Then he connected it to parenting: "We gotta be careful that we don't baby our kids so much and cover them up and take care of them that they realize they've never done anything themselves 'cause you did it for them." Confidence isn't given. It's built through your preparation and what you do. Then he tied it all together: "Complacency kills. Confidence is a powerful thing. And consistency with that confidence is why you win." Your success comes from doing the work, doing it consistently, and working through the adversity. (🎥 3rd and Longhorn)
