@ImCollegeSoccer @ImYouthSoccer I think a lot of the draw to D1 has to do with the type of social experience kids today want. I hear a lot of non-athletes prioritizing their college list based on who has football programs. D3 schools tend to be smaller and lack the kind of social scene that comes with a

I became a leader in a fortune 500 company when I was 23. That very early entry into leadership changed the trajectory of my career & $ earnings. This only happened because I spent my time as an athlete practicing leadership. My parents (both coaches) talked to me about

@SportPsychTips Tough love, as you call it, only works if there’s been an investment in the relationship first such that they know you care. Leading through coaching is about bringing out the best in each person. If yelling isn’t going to do that for that person, try a different tactic.

@SoccerMomInt I like to keep in mind these are young adults away from home (and daily parental guidance) for the first time. Maybe they did picked a school that wasn’t the right fit, hopefully they learn something about themselves from it. Maybe they picked a good fit at 16, but it’s not a

How Paige Bueckers responds to their loss is more impressive than her stats this season. Great ownership from a 🌟. She has a bright future. Can’t wait to catch her play next year.

@TheJasonGoth @joecampos “ECNL player” means a player who purchased their identity from an “ECNL Club” and as a result believes they are now entitled to identify as “elite”. Your can hurl unprofessional insults all you like, but I can read just fine. Player= child. With hopes and goals and dreams—

I’ve been the captain of teams, coached girls sports, & lead organizations with hundreds of people. I’ve found one thing to be true for sure. No one cares about your title & accolades. They will not let you lead them until they know you care. Leading is serving others.
