Six Indicators of a Transformational Coach

Cleaning out my desk to get ready for summer and the new year, and glad I didn’t throw this legal pad away! Still so proud of this group, and I am so excited to start making our next rotations and see what the girls will accomplish this fall!

Bush/Stockwell punch their ticket to state and advance to the championship with a three set victory in the semis!!!

There will be a meeting for all incoming 10-12th graders interested in going out for volleyball on Monday, May 13th at 7:30 in Fulton's room. Use the NPECC doors that morning. We will go over summer schedule, program changes, and fall expectations!

So sad to hear about the death of Bernard Hill. Having watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy at least 10 times - it’s ALWAYS this scene that I love most. His portrayal of King Théoden is just incredible - what a legacy to have.

I wrote this waaaaay back in 2018. Friendly reminder that there are so many options to play volleyball after high school. Playing at the junior college level you can receive athletic money and is a great way to get your start. prepdig.com/2018/05/the-best…

Who is the 'Silent Team MVP'? The Spouse of a Coach. And every coach knows it. Here are 6 reasons why. 1. THE GLUE The spouse of a coach is often the glue that keeps everything together and aligned. There are so many things going on in a season, and things seem to occur at 100 MPH. But the spouse of a coach is the glue that binds everything together (family, team, work, kids, and more)! 2. THE CRITICS Leaders and coaches are in the Arena and the Spotlight, and the critics often follow. Everyone is an expert in sports, and coaching can be a very tough gig. You must have thick skin. And so must your spouse. They hear it, too. It's not easy and not fun. 3. SUPPORT Seasons are long, and one thing for certain is that challenges will occur. Maybe it’s a team issue, a parent complaint, or a lack of administrative support. But the coach's spouse is always there to support, listen, and provide a positive outlook to keep going. 4. TIME COMMITMENT Coaching is often an ALL-IN job, mentally and physically. It occurs after hours, is in addition to a regular FT job, and eats away at family time. Few understand this. It’s often like having a second FT job for the season. A supportive spouse is a must. 5. FAMILY STRESSORS The time commitment and mental energy needed can eat away at family time. Coaches must be aware of this and find ways to balance and prioritize. But it is hard. A supportive spouse helps make this happen. 6. SACRIFICE Coaches and families sacrifice a lot. But there are so many positives associated with coaching, too. Raising kids in a coaching family can be incredibly rewarding! Having your young kids come to practice and share the experience is immeasurable! ----- Follow me for more actionable ideas on coaching, leadership, and personal growth.
