Our youth system is beyond broken. We’ve devalued real coaches. Kids aren’t developed, they are overtrained, burned out, forced to specialize early & pressured to win at all costs. Structural change is needed. We don’t teach the game anymore! We promote the game & it’s killing us

Greatness doesn’t come from what you want or think you deserve. Greatness comes from your character and your willingness to give to your team.
Be a difference maker.

"You can make special things happen.
But, you have to have that grit-and you can't buy that. You can develop it, obviously, but that is a skill all unto itself."

I agreed to a second debate. Trump refused.
I released my medical records. Trump has not.
I sat for a 60 Minutes interview. Trump backed out.
One has to ask: What is Donald Trump trying to hide?

There’s a big difference between thinking you deserve something and knowing you’ve earned it.
One is about expectations, the other is about effort. And effort always wins out.
Don’t just show up—show that you belong.

John McCain and I didn’t always agree, but he understood that some values transcended parties. He knew that if we got in the habit of bending the truth to suit political expediency or party orthodoxy, our democracy will not work.
John McCain had character. That’s what I think about so much these days because it’s so different from what we see out of the Republican nominee.

As a dad your job is to make sure your son is the oldest in his class.
Huge advantage in sports and it’ll bleed over to academics, relationships, everything.
Boys mature extremely slowly. Give them every advantage you can!
