Themes in Leadership Academy in the last week: 1.) Put your victim card away 2.) You choose what you give your attention to 3.) We have the power to choose where we give our attention to
1st day of practice for fall sports yesterday. Here will be common themes after day 1: It was a great first day The team feels really close this year We are going to be really good Then adversity will hit at some point & the real ones will separate from the fake ones
They will tell you that in order to get your scholarship, you can't be a multi-sport person. Competitors compete, they don't 'worry' about getting hurt, & they love pushing themselves. They are fully present, which helps them in the future become exactly how they want to be
"He reminds me a little bit of what Bobby Witt Jr. was when he first came in the league..." - @jonmorosi on @Twins rookie Luke Keaschall ahead of tonight's #MLBNShowcase at Yankee Stadium
Lunch time leadership presentation @jhcooley @Free2Compete
1. Chasing/Feeling Moments 2. Unwavering Belief
Congrats to Free2Compete's very own @jhcooley and guest author @coachhueser for leading @PLSbasketball to the 1st state title in program history! This program, coaches & players, embodies what Free2Compete is all about! Person > Player, the PROCESS drives the RESULTS!
Thank you for the opportunity to share with your student athletes! They were a locked in group! Now it is time to put those new "SCORECARDS" to work! 🦾🧠
Thank you to Coach H @Free2Compete for discussing aspects of mental training at the 2025 FHS Athletic Leadership Day.
Do people believe this anymore? Do they believe it but the chase for the ever important 'scholarship' is just too enticing? Whatever the case, kids playing multiple sports seems to be going the way of the dinosaurs....extinct. What role are adults playing in this?
PARENTS of baseball players MUST LISTEN🔊 Hall of Fame MLB pitcher Randy Johnson & Ex-MLB Pitcher Brian Holman Courtesy: 9holePodcast
Fall sports are close to the end Did you use the sport or is the sport using you? Using the Sport: Team 1st mindset Building relationships Becoming unselfish Finding real joy Sport using you: Me 1st mindset Jealousy Identity is with "Twitter hype" good or bad Bitter & selfish
4 Options on Criticism. Is it... 1.) Accurate + Good Intentions 2.) Accurate + Bad Intentions 3.) Inaccurate + Good Intentions 4.) Inaccurate + Bad Intentions Good Intention = Attempting to Add Value Bad Intention = Driven by Ego, Fear, Greed
Are your EMOTIONAL REACTIONS regularly highjacking your performance? Would you like to change it? Here's a place to start.. f2cjournal.beehiiv.com Grab a 🖊️and a 📒and start putting in some work!
If you aren't training your student/athletes with how they should respond to situations that WILL pop up long before they need it, don't be surprised if they react instead.
E + R = O This is an important conversation to help athletes, students, & adults RESPOND to EVENTS in a way that moves them closer to the OUTCOMES they want. 🧵 Let's understand this better...
Is your behavior... ABOVE THE LINE -intentional, responsive, trained, skillful OR BELOW THE LINE -emotional, reactionary, impulsive, mindless
Thanks Coach! We know this is your heart as you lead in Crete!
One of our goals at Free2Compete is to help young people today TAKE BACK and OWN their high school & college athletic experience. SPORTS isn't life, but it sure does create a great opportunity to DEVELOP SKILLS that will impact their life when used correctly!
As parents, at times we focus so much on outcomes that we lose sight of the true value of sports. "Catch those four guys!" "You have to make varsity." "You're not working hard enough." Jeremy Haselhorst shows us how we can do better. preprunningnerd.com/post/parents
What does a 'low maintenance' athlete look like to coaches? 1. Always give 100% in effort, energy, & focus 2. Highs & lows don't determine their mood. Mood is always steady 3. Takes care of grades 4. They're unconditional toward the team. Playing time/role does not change them
Don't be an "As long as..." type of teammate: *As long as I'm getting my playing time *As long as I'm getting the attention *As long as I'm healthy *As long as I'm meeting my goals *As long as it benefits me Great teammates are UNCONDITIONAL in their engagement!
We want to share about the ENGAGEMENT CYCLE with your team or students! Check out the board, how many valuable conversations could your team have from this lesson?
Fall teams are at least 25% done with their seasons. Are these things sucking the life out of your team? *Selfishness *Inconsistency *Dip in Standards *Entitlement *"Mickey Mouse" Problems (childish behaviors) *Lack of Resiliency *Blaming, complaining, & defending poor actions
Talking about our Engagement Cycle in Leadership Class today. Stages include: 1.) Actively Engaged "All In" 2.) Engaged 3.) Disengaged 4.) Actively Disengaged "Sabotage" We are just over 1 month in to Fall Activities Athlete: Where are you & where is your heart?
