Kobe was right when he said:
“It's not the number of hours you practice, it's about the number of hours your mind is present during the practice.”

Speaking truth on and off the field will get you into trouble and close some doors.
But it will give you something money can’t buy.

Dear Grizzlies,
You mean the world to me. For now, we take a break from college sports, we reset the spirit by returning to the youth game, & we explore some projects I've been excited about for a long time.
To every coach, player, staff member, & crazy Griz Fan... Thank you

Results are just about in. Sam Forstag and his team celebrating tonight at his election night party. #mtpol
Pete Carroll has been a favorite coach of mine since I first read his book, "Win Forever"... This is just a small glimpse into his philosophies and his Human Centered Coaching Model. I am so inspired by this level of professionalism and by his articulation of Coaching Methods.
Pete Carroll with a masterclass on the philosophies of leadership.
Must-listen for all coaches, leaders, and athletes out there.

Here are two sessions I filmed recently, edited together to highlight how I run back-to-back age group sessions for Missoula Surf.
A challenge we all face as coaches is how to maximize our time while adjust for age groups ranging from 8 to 16.
Cheers,

アストン・ヴィラのGKプレシーズン測定📏🧤
横方向へのジャンプの到達距離を測定しています。
GKにとって横方向への爆発力と到達距離は非常に重要です。
到達距離だけでなく、左右差も見ることで弱いサイドの強化やトレーニングの方向性を決めるのに役立ちます。
この測定では自立式の垂直跳び測定器を使っていますが、横方向の場合「距離と高さ」をどう評価するかは悩ましいところ。
この辺りは実際のゴールサイズに合わせるなどしてオリジナルプロトコルを作成して継続的に測定することが重要かもしれません。
（Lateral Dive Testの標準プロトコルをご存知の方、ぜひ教えてください🙏）
最近はテクノロジーを使った測定が増えていますが、工夫次第でアナログでも十分に有用なデータが取れますね。

A constraint should change behaviour.
“Make five passes before scoring” is a rule.
“Score within eight seconds to earn three points” creates urgency, forward thinking and decisions under pressure.
Always ask: what behaviour will this condition invite?

Shaka Smart sends recruits a 26-page document before they ever visit campus. Here's how he defines culture and why it works.
"We send them our culture doc. It's 26 pages that lays out who we want to be - who we strive every day to become."
"Culture is simply how we act, interact, and respond. That's it."
Culture isn't what you say - it's your behaviors and what you do when it counts.
It's always changing based on what's happening.
"You can have stuff up on the wall, but if it's just words on paper, it doesn't really matter. Our job is to bring it to life."
"The most important component is the people in our room."
It's always about the people. They define whether there is character, teamwork, and resilience on a daily basis

“One player can sink your program. I’ve passed on neon talent.”
Nobody needs culture killers, no matter how talented they may be.
This is awesome!!

DON’T COACH THE MISTAKE. COACH THE INTENTION. ⚽️ A line to reflect on. Of course not always, but more than not often.
There’s a powerful coaching lesson in something Pep Guardiola speaks about.
During one difficult period for him the season before last, his approach was to demand more. Demand better. Challenge errors. Hold players accountable.
But later, last season, the Pep Guardiola message evolved.
As seen in this dressing room footage he told his players:
It’s okay to lose the ball. It’s okay to make mistakes.
There was just one condition:
Make the mistake with conviction.
In other words…
If you’re going to attempt the pass, commit to it. If you’re going to make the decision, make it with 100% intention.
Because there is a huge difference between:
❌ A mistake caused by hesitation, fear or lack of application.
and
✅ A mistake that happens while a player is fully committed to doing the right thing.
That distinction matters enormously for coaches.
Too often we see the outcome:
“He gave the ball away.”
But before correcting the player, ask:
What was the intention?
Was the player trying to break a line?
Trying to find the free player?
Trying to play forward?
Trying to exploit the space we’ve coached them to recognize?
If the intention was right, the solution might not be changing the decision at all.
The decision may be correct.
The execution may simply need improving.
And those require completely different coaching interventions.
If we punish every mistake, eventually players stop taking responsibility.
They stop experimenting.
They stop seeing possibilities.
They start choosing the safest option available, not necessarily the best one.
QUOTE THIS FROM KEEPITONTHEDECK.....
"Great environments give players freedom to fail with purpose."
