I am super excited to announe that I will be hosting a new free to participate educational series called 'Coaching Conversations'! 

After speaking with so many different coaches on a daily basis on a variety of topics, it was obvious that most of my conversations often were about the same or similar issues.  Therefore, it made sense,,,

The past several months I have done an informal survey with young athletes and I have to be honest, the results have been shocking to say the least.

So what is this informal survey I am referring to? 

Well, the nametag above says it all!

I have asked probably just over one hundred high school and college athletes since December 2009 the following question...

Want to find out EXACTLY how your athletes are making decisions?   What they pay attention to?   What is important to them?  Then have them take the Ready To Play Profile and you will finally be able to take the guesswork out of your player's mental game!

On Friday I was talking with my good friend and head baseball coach of the 2009 State Championship team Ardrey Kell High School Hal Bagwell.  He had the opportunity to be a part of the scouting team for the U16 of USA Baseball this past summer. 

There were 500 of the best players that came in from all over the country to try out for guess how many spots?

I just got an email asking what are some of the favorite conditioning games that the players I train enjoy the most.   Below is one of the absolute favorites that I use with the NFL Carolina Panthers during our offseason program over the past seven years.   It is taken from the Movement Based Games DVD. 

Coaching today's athletes requires a different approach than it did twenty years ago.   Can you identify with THESE six core coaching values?

Checkout this short video where I reveal a book that I just finished that is a MUST READ for every youth sports coach!
