Why Summer Coaching Is Harder Than People Think… Because summer isn’t really a break. It’s planning.
It’s organizing.
It’s texting.
It’s scheduling.
It’s opening the gym. 
It’s finding ways to keep kids connected when school isn’t forcing them together. It’s trying to build culture before the season ever begins. It’s motivating athletes who would rather be at the lake, on vacation, at work, or sleeping in. It’s balancing development and enjoyment. Pushing them enough to grow.
Not pushing so hard they burn out. It’s creating an environment kids want to be part of. One where they leave practice excited to come back tomorrow. It’s organizing team camps, leagues, workouts, fundraisers, and team-building activities while everyone else thinks you’re “off for the summer.” It’s investing hours in a season that is still months away. All for a chance to build something special when the season arrives. And the truth is, summer matters. The relationships you build now.
The standards you establish now.
The culture you create now. Those are the things that carry teams through the difficult moments later. So if you’re coaching this summer, don’t forget: Make it fun.
Make it positive.
Make it something your players look forward to. The season will bring enough pressure. Summer should build the relationships, trust, and enthusiasm that make everything else possible. Because great seasons are rarely built in season. They’re built in the summer. Good luck Coach🏆

Mauricio Pochettino said that ‘American sports reward losers’ when asked about the style of play in top European nations vs. in the U.S. 😯🇺🇸 QUESTION: “We know how England, France, Spain play… Players from countries with a strong tradition have a recognizable style. What is the style of the US team? What kind of football do the Americans want to play?” ANSWER: “Their culture is playful. They want to play. We told them, “Guys, playing soccer is one thing, competing is another.” They’re two completely different sports. They grow up in a culture of playing. Why? If you start in MLS and you haven’t won a game in three months and you’re at the bottom, what’s the consequence if there’s no promotion or relegation, no international competition? American sports reward losers! But soccer is different: if you reward those who don’t win… If you don’t have goals, you don’t fight. If I lose, what happens? Nothing. They just fire the coach. Also, the American player is disciplined. But with a sense of complacency that isn’t good in soccer. It took us a year and a half to change that mentality.” [EL PAIS]

Already impressed with 2030 forward Colt Robbins (@ColtRobbins33) of Bedford North Lawrence HS. Tall forward with an already matured skillset. Smooth handles for his size and can create in the lane. One of the top underclassmen prospects at the IU Team Camp. #iubb

2027 guard Park Kern (@parkerkern23) of Bedford North Lawerence HS has caught fire vs Blackford. Just hit his third three in the first half. Being super aggressive as a scorer in this game while maintaining his ability to set guys up at the IU Team Camp. #iubb
