One time at a tournament, I found out my players invited girls to the hotel. Texted them I was doing bedchecks (as I walked down the hall to their room). They tried hiding the girls in a closet, which was dishonest (& we have an honesty policy) told them meet me in the lobby at 5:00am for a special workout in the parking lot. Went to my room & turned off my alarm, went to sleep. The next morning I woke up after a great night’s sleep & came down to the lobby (around 9am) to find them still sitting down there. Asked them how they slept? how was breakfast? They looked at me confused. Finally one of them said, “Coach, weren’t we supposed to meet at 5am?” I said, “Absolutely & I hope you all made it. But that’s the thing about trust, once it’s broken, you don’t know what to believe.” As much as I wanted to have them doing bear crawls in the parking lot, or running til they puked, the look on their faces said they’d remember that forever. Never had a problem again.
