Leaders are readers. If you’re coaching but aren’t reading then you’re not growing and becoming an effective leader.

Not to be outdone by his big brother, @BlakeBundy2029 too experienced a season ending injury and still had the mental fortitude to pull off straight A’s. He too has been helping assist his team throughout the entire season. We are so proud! @powerthrew

Losing something you love (football) would cause most kids (adults too) to shut down. But not @willBundy_91 He wraps up the 1st quarter with all A’s, 2 AP courses. Maintains A 3.98 unweighted gpa and continues his team captain responsibilities. Proud is an understatement.

Sitting in the bleachers as a coach’s wife requires a lot of restraint. 😤

Parents: “HS coaches should recruit for kids” Coaches: “Here’s some colleges/schools interested in your kid” Parents: “Oh, but not that school” or “Not that Division” 🤦🏾‍♀️

A title is not required in order to lead

Recruiting Tip: 5 years from now, loan officers will NOT care what division you played in. They will care about your Student Loan Debt. Go where it makes sense for your financial future.

No one cares! You get the same degree 🤷🏾‍♀️
Everyone obsesses over level in recruiting, but here's the truth: After you graduate, no one cares what level you played. Employers love hiring former athletes. Period. Not because they were D1, D2, or D3, but because being a college athlete proves you have discipline and work ethic.

This all starts with the coach having the right leadership skills.
Every coach wants a player-led team. But too often, we name captains and expect them to just know how to lead. Leadership has to be taught. How to communicate. How to handle adversity. How to hold standards. How to lead teammates. That’s why I built the Team Leader OS.

If every instruction becomes a negotiation with your kids, eventually obedience becomes optional.

And @willBundy_91 and @BlakeBundy2029 have two parents who coach them. They have earned everything.
If you recruited a coach’s kid you better know they aren’t there to be your buddy they are there to work & earn everything! They were a coach’s kid who couldn’t be given anything because of who their dad is! Their resilience is next level! They literally lived with a coach!

Teach your kids how to serve others. Everything can’t be about them.

Senior Night for @willBundy_91 ! Although he didn’t get play due to injury, I’m so proud of him. As a team captain he celebrates his teammates despite his circumstance. I loved celebrating him and all his family and friends who came out did as well. @powerthrew

God is Faithful! We celebrated our mortgage burning and 30th Anniversary. So blessed to be a part of history. I pray my children understand the magnitude of this moment. @powerthrew @willBundy_91 @BlakeBundy2029

Adulting 300 level lessons learned this summer. 1) check your home insurance policies for gaps in coverage 2) Generators are a necessity not a luxury 3) Battery backup for your sump pump is necessary redundancy 4) Have your neighbors contact info in case of emergency.

The youngest Bundy has started football. Having two older brothers means you have some fight in you. Excited for Justin to finally get his turn. @powerthrew
