A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:
Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”
Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.
About 1.5% of those get drafted.
Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.
The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”
I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️

.@SJN_Baseball’s Gus Fusco hasn’t let a freak injury keep him off the field.
After being hit in the face with a baseball, recovery time was slated to be up to two months. It was less than two weeks until he returned.
My profile Fusco’s quick comeback⤵️

You learn a lot when you Coach.
After three decades of coaching, here are 28 of the most important things I have learned.
Maybe they will resonate with you.
28 Lesson Learned.
1. Coaching is all about relationships. Work to build relationships with your players.
2. Play the long game with culture. There are no shortcuts to success.
3. Develop your leaders. Don’t hope or wish for leaders.
4. You are never as good as you think in a win. And after a loss, you are never as bad.
5. When in doubt, less is more. The earlier you learn this, the better.
6. As the coach, you are the leader. Lead by example in all you do.
7. Culture is what you allow and what you emphasize.
8. Create practices with a purpose.
9. Do things in groups of 3’s. It is simple and easy to remember.
10. Energy givers make a team. Reward your energy givers.
11. Put your players in situations where they can use their strengths.
12. Communication is vital. Be clear, concise, and proactive.
13. Remember, comparison is the thief of joy. Don’t compare yourself to others.
14. Be a lifelong learner. The best coaches are constantly learning and getting better.
15. There is no substitute for hard work. As a coach, model the work ethic you want.
16. Culture is every day. You must think this way. If not, your culture will erode.
17. Find a supportive spouse. Coaching is challenging and time-consuming.
18. Over-communicate roles for your players and team.
19. Remember, leadership is a lifestyle. Be a servant leader.
20. Do not try to please anyone. It is impossible and will only cause problems.
21. Be incredibly honest with kids and parents. Do not sugarcoat anything.
22. Do yourself a favor and be very organized. It shows competence.
23. Celebrate the small wins. Use the game within the game to set goals.
24. Focus on the process, not the prize.
25. Always celebrate WE over ME.
26. Think about your player's mental health. It is more important than ever.
27. Get to know your parents when their kids are young. These relationships matter.
28. Enjoy the time with your players and have fun!

AAU Players: If every weekend your team is undefeated, you either play with a bunch of players who will be heading to Duke, or your coach is sabotaging you to win games. The goal is improvement - not weekend trophy hunting. Iron sharpens iron…play against BETTER players.

Day two at the @Allstate @HBCULegacyBowl practices and some interior defensive linemen have been quite disruptive.
