Nobody teaches you that discipline feels like punishment until the results start feeling like freedom

See a ‘Sports Parent’ sitting alone? There is a reason. - No drama. - No negativity. - No ignorance. - No complaining. - No badmouthing coaches or refs. They just want to enjoy watching their child play. Be a part of the solution this fall sports season.

RT @nextlevelbb: The overwhelming majority of parents nationwide are monumentally delusional when evaluating their son's athletic abilities.

Stephen A Smith DESTROYS Lebrons GOAT Case "He played 23 years,he still has 2 less titles than Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan played all 82 games 8 times, how many times did Lebron do it?, Michael Jordan is a 10x Scoring Champion, how many times did Lebron do it?, Michael Jordan is 9x All Nba defensive player, how many times did Lebron do it?, theres nothing to discuss. Michael Jordan averaged over 30 in the postseason 7 times, how many times did Lebron do it?, theres nothing to discuss, hes approaching year 24 and still has 2 less titles" (Via The Late Run Show)

We stopped disciplining children & started diagnosing them. Now we have a nation with unaccountable adults. 🤷‍♂️ Tell me I’m wrong

This mother is catching some flack because she said she sits on the opposite side of the parents on her son’s baseball team. Looks like the outfield. She said she can’t stand the constant chatter and lingo - “Good eye!” , “You got a piece of it.!” , etc. and all the talk in the bleachers. Many put her down saying she is not a team player as a parent. But some others said they agreed with her. I am with her. I usually sat down the line on first or third base. I want to watch the game and not chatter all night and listen to moms and dads coach their kids from the stands. Or all the gossip. I totally get it. Do you understand where this momma is coming from and feel like she does or do you think it’s rude of her to disassociate with the other parents during the game?

Been coaching baseball for 35 years. I can confidently say … The same fundamentals that won baseball games in my year #1 still wins them today. Even more so now, because others are neglecting the basics at an alarming rate. So many are mistakenly seeking a magic potion. When doing simple better than everyone else is the key. On offense, defense, team play, etc.

Players stop feeling “picked on” when you are being coached to do the right things. Coaches are not going to get on you if you’re: • Hustling every rep • Shirt tucked in • Showing good body language • Playing solid catch • Taking care of the field • Cleaning the locker room • Keeping your uniform clean If coach is still reminding you about these things after the first week, I’m not the problem—that’s on you

As an AD, one of the biggest challenges is understanding what athletes and parents truly want. Everyone says they want to win, but too often the communication I receive is centered around why practice is being missed, why workouts can’t happen, or why the commitment isn’t possible. Winning is rarely about what happens on game day, it’s built in the unseen hours of preparation, consistency, and sacrifice. You cannot claim to want success while consistently avoiding the work required to achieve it. Too often, “we want to win” really means “we want the rewards of winning without the discomfort of earning it.” When that gap exists, the blame often shifts to the coach instead of the habits. Great programs are built when athletes, parents, and coaches all align in understanding that commitment comes before results. Wanting to win and being willing to do what it takes to win are two very different things.

Perhaps the best walkout in baseball is when Padres closer Mason Miller jogs out with the lights flickering and Korn’s “Blind” blasting, then starts throwing 100 mph fastballs and a filthy 90 mph slider in the 9th.

This valedictorian completely eviscerates her high school counselor, teacher, and the office staff during her graduation speech. It really is perfection and will likely go down as one of the most badass moves in history at her school. 😎👊🏼

The 10 Truths Parents Rarely See 1. Coaches lose sleep. 2. Decisions aren’t personal. 3. Playing time is complex. 4. Culture matters more than stats. 5. Accountability is care. 6. Coaches invest emotionally. 7. Development isn’t instant. 8. Hard feedback is intentional. 9. Wins don’t tell the whole story. 10. Coaches remember kids forever. Perspective matters.

Middle infielders, we don’t want the runner at 2b to know we’re there. All that glove tapping and dirt kicking isn’t doing what you think it is. Be light on your feet and be quiet.

No, your 16 year old son did not actually have a 1.73 pop time at his most recent showcase

Dejen de culpar a los docentes y háganse cargo de sus hijos. Sáquenles las pantallas y métanlos en deportes. Mírenlos a la cara. Oblíguelos a cenar en familia. Pregúntenles cómo están, qué hicieron, si tienen tarea. Revisen sus cuadernos. Llévenlos al pediatra y al psicólogo.

I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard? Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."
