Athletes face immense pressure before competition, but the most effective coaches know that technical skill is only half the battle. Prioritizing mental health is essential for peak performance and long-term success. #SportsPsychology #Coaching
Life is a roller coaster, especially when balancing emotions in sports and parenting. You will have good days and bad days, but the key is ensuring the good outweighs the bad. Learn from the setbacks, move forward, and just keep going. #Mindset #Parenting
Young athletes face immense pressure that often goes ignored. Prioritizing mental health and building open lines of communication is not just supportive—it is essential for their long-term well-being and performance. #MentalHealth #YouthSports
Many athletes give up on themselves too early simply because they didn't get the offer they wanted. You might just be a late developer. If it wasn't your time yet, that doesn't mean your time won't come. #Mindset #SportsMotivation

Some 3-step jumps today (odd steeper)
Some nice jumps at 1.65m and 1.90m (ramp)
We will put a bar up in the next few weeks and get her some looks to prep for our first meet in December
Full approach for the season will be 7 steps, 9 is too much speed to handle for now

People think I get “ready made” athletes that don’t need much work…
Oh how wrong they are. You’d be very surprised how uncoordinated some of them are 😅 I spend a lot of time getting that better, and let me tell you it ain’t easy
Also not being able to do a basic hinge…🥲

Grab the attention of better athletes and players by being direct with their performance.
When athletes are put in competitive activities within practice periods coaches get a better evaluation of players.
Better athletes understand drills and skill must transfer to sport.

It's rare to find someone with such incredible character, who's also an amazing father and so genuinely approachable. Truly appreciate this person's impact. #Appreciation #Fatherhood #Inspiration
Social media pressure is different now. Parents, be a constant support system for your athletes, even when they don't meet expectations. Give them room to fail and come to you, not just when they're winning. #ParentingTips #YouthSports
From a few viewers to airport encounters, the 'Texas Track Dad' podcast's growth has been a humbling surprise. It's amazing to see the impact, even when you doubt anyone's watching. #TexasTrackDad #PodcastGrowth #HumblingExperience

My daughter, who is 9 said this today " I jumped 4'7 out of no where in the high jump at Junior Olympics in Des Moines Iowa.
I said no you didn't , we prepared your body to jump high by jumping higher in practice with the assistance of the jump box.
Guys take advantage of every opportunity. Sometimes you might think you are not ready to handle the load, but you are.
You will never be 100% ready to take on new things. Face those challenges head on and learn in the process. It will be hard, but it will make you better and rewarding.
Let’s work 🫡

Against popular XC opinion: A well marked course does not need a lead bike or gator! It siphons away a little of the special feeling of leading/winning a race!
