Your effort always reveals the truth about your commitment.

Coaching is teaching…What does a good teacher look like?
1) They have incredible patience
2) They understand it isn't what they know that matters, it's the information the student can retain and use skillfully that makes them an effective teacher
3) They know that all students learn differently and adjust accordingly to how their students learn
4) They communicate with different tones and different patterns as “boredom” will set in when everyday, every message, every movement sounds and feels the same.
5) They continue to learn from their students because the greatest teacher to them is the ones they've taught
6) They are open to criticism and know they aren't always right
7) They respect the unique histories of every students background and realize we all are who we are because of the backgrounds we were born into and our only influences are the unique circumstances we lived separately from any other humans lived experiences
8) Their greatest gift is the moment they see the student finally “get it”…finally master a task they believed was impossible… and for that single moment all the frustration was worth it

3 Coaching Truths:
1. Culture isn’t what you say, it’s what you allow.
2. Leadership isn’t a title, it’s a responsibility.
3. Tough teams aren’t born, they’re built every day.
Great teams don’t happen by accident.
They’re built on purpose.

Players,
If your coach moves you to a different position, don’t take it personally.
He’s probably not moving you away from the field, he’s trying to find the spot that gives you the best chance to get on it.
Trust the process. Compete.

Great teams are made up of individual athletes who have consciously given up their quest for personal glory, who have willingly and wholeheartedly embraced the character traits of a team player and who have fully committed themselves to the group effort.

I’m pretty sure that @CoachHubb2 made the quote, but it was one of my favorites: “We don’t play 7 on 7 football, we play 11 on 11 football.” (Thus, maybe emphasize the run game first…)

Great Advice for Young Coaches from Buzz Williams:
1. Read more than you think you should
2. Write down everything, about everything, all the time
3. Build as many relationships as you can and learn to connect the dots between those relationships
4. Never turn down an opportunity to learn or to work

It’s a repeat but it’s worth repeating. Help old guys like me find a way to get in touch with you. Make yourself easy to find. (2026’s and 2027’s I’m looking at you, Put your phone number in your header)

If I could tattoo something on every coach's forehead it would be learn physics.
It's not about the weight, it's about the force.
Here's the truth:
There's no lift in the weight room that can produce 4-5X bodyweight forces in a fraction of a second.
Your 200lbs high school athlete is not squatting 1000lbs in a tenth of a second.
But they handle those kinds of forces daily and we casually call it sprinting.
You know what else can generate those kinds of forces?
Altitude drops.
Again.
This is not a debate. This is math. This is physics.
@WGF1 talked about this in Minnesota two years ago.
You take a 193 lbs athlete and drop them 6 inches!
They have to handle almost 600lbs (2600N for the nerds) of impact force.
Dan and @Matt_Van_Dyke have an AWESOME article breaking down some of the specifics of collison training here:
sportsmith.co/articles/colli…
The takeaway?
You can't guarantee your athletes will get faster if they increase their squat from 135 to 315. Those forces are too small.
You CAN guarantee that if your athletes can handle multiple times BW forces from altitude drops, they will run faster.
You can also progress and regress these easily.
• Lower/higher boxes.
• Single vs. double leg landings.
If you can teach your athlete's brains that it's safe for them to land from a 42" box, their performance gains will be ridiculous.
