Stop forcing one definition of success. Your athletes get to influence YOU.

If we’re truly in service to youth, the starting point is simple:
Ask them what they want to see.
Because when we listen to “what” they want, the “how” gets clearer.

Parents tell children what to do
Teahcers show children how to do things
Coaches get the privilage of asking children what they want to do...

Never forget.

Coaches, stop treating mental health like an emergency.

Mental hygiene for athletes should be daily — not random or reactive.

Too often, mental health is something we address after an outburst, loss, or emotional challenge…
instead of something we integrate every day.

When youth have a mental hygiene system, they don’t have to wait for disappointment to hit. They learn how to navigate adversity — and life.

Peaks. Valleys. Highs. Lows.

Prioritize a time for wellness.

Coaches, schedule wellness into your practice.

Parents, schedule wellness into your daily routines.

Teachers, schedue wellness into your classrooms.

Make space for youth athletes to be human.

Do you schedule practice?
Schedule wellness too.

One of the simplest but impactful shifts a coach can make:
Prioritize a time for wellness so athletes know they have a space to talk, to feel safe emotionally, and be supported.

Share this with a coach who leads youth.

Academics matter BUT Self-awareness comes first!

In a time where there are more unemployeed college graduates than ever before in history self-awareness is the foundation to success.

Academics are important.
But self-awareness is foundational because when youth don’t understand themselves, they won’t know how to manage pressure, emotions, or setbacks.
Ultimatley, becoming adults unable to navigate life with confidence, resiliency, and self-knowinng.

Share this with a coach, teacher, or mentor who works with young people.

“Attitude is a reflection of leadership.”

What many are seeing even complaining about in today's youth… is us.

Do you agree or disagree?

Let me know in the comments.

“Attitude is a reflection of leadership.” Hard truth, before we label, assume, or approach youth as “difficult,” we have to ask ourselves:

What have I modeled?

What have I normalized?

What have I avoided?

If you work with youth — coaches, teachers, mentors — this is a message worth sitting with.

Share this with someone who leads young people.

This is what athletes are really saying. Coaches… this should stop you.

One of the biggest issues youth athletes are saying out loud is this:
“I have no one to talk to.”

Take this seriously and be the adult they don’t have to be afraid to speak to.

This is an invitation to lead differently.

Coaches - PAUSE
Who on your team feels unseen right now?

Show you care, especially when they’re struggling not just because they are struggling but because support happens before during and after the struggle. Meaning when youth leaders are being consistent and proactive in thier care and concern off the court they are more likely to be seen as a truted adult. Its called TRUST. Send the message to your athetes that even if they never play or never seem to be struggling that they still are worth your support.

- Teach self-love by modeling it yourself.
- Have open discussions about emotions, remedies, and startegies for wellness
- Embody and model the things you want for your athletes

Being a coach isn’t just about wins. It’s about being a support to young people when they are in need, a support system on and off the court or field.

This clip hits hard for me personally because as a coach it is sometimes a challenge to push through. In this clip, I see my own words and feel the need to take my own advice.

We are all hueman and coaches also experience defeat, frustration, and grief. It is imperative that we too learn how to love on ourselves when we dont like ourselves. To love the parts of yourself that others aren't aware of or think differently of. When we are able to unapologetically show and share the ways in which we navigate and understand our own strife it shows our athletes how to do the same for themsevles. Living examples lead to memories which turn into habits. Being vulnerabile with your athletes sheds lite on all the things we say to athletes to inspre them. Our actions must align with message. "Connection before correction."

Consequently, when coaches exude these behaviors our athletes are met with a coach who not only demands excellence and self-development but one who embodies it.

Coaches, let me know in the comments:
How do you show support when your athletes are struggling?
