Coach 360

Our latest episode is a special one as Mackey joins the AFCA Inside the Headset podcast with Coach Mario Price.

The AFCA is an association of over 11,000 American football coaches and staff on all levels. According to its constitution, some of the main goals of the American Football Coaches Association are to "maintain the highest possible standards in football and the profession of coaching football," and to "provide a forum for the discussion and study of all matters pertaining to football and coaching."

Mackey shares how he encourages and reaffirms parents and coaches to keep pressing on, even in times of continued hardship.

Key Takeaways from this podcast:

• Invest in yourself because the only way you can pour yourself out to others is if you have something left in you to give.
• The choices you make affect the energy and morale of your team or program
• Call out energy vampires immediately

Mackey also goes on to explain what energy vampires are and how coaches and parents can deal with those on a practical basis.

Our latest episode is a special one. Mackey shares a curriculum lesson with us, Family Name.

Mackey shares how our lives are touched by several different traditions, which can come from our family, our community, our school, and our team.

As athletes, coaches, and parents, we have a responsibility to uphold these traditions, but also to enhance them. Tradition doesn't determine what we do. What we do determines our tradition.

Mackey also shares that the traditions that we inherit don't define what we will become. They can serve as guides for the path we can follow if we choose, but the only thing that determines the traditions we pass on, the legacy we leave behind, is what we do today.

Key takeaways from this podcast:

• Continually communicate traditions and expectations you have for each athlete
• Leader's responsibility does not stop at helping the current athletes, but it is their job to start paving the way for future athletes as well
• Appreciate the traditions each player brings to the team and program as a whole

In our latest episode, Mackey is live with Marion County HS Coaches talking about the idea of coaching "long shelf life" traits.

As coaches, mentors, and parents, we are responsible for making sure our athletes and students are ready not only for the test next week, but for the tests they'll face in life. We need to make sure we are equipping them with the tools to be successful in life.

Some key takeaways from this podcast: -It is important to do the right thing at the right time and not fear the consequences of doing so. -It is our job as coaches and teachers to teach students that they are the most powerful person in their world. -If you decide to have a bad attitude, that's on you. Your circumstances can't choose that for you.

As coaches, teachers, and parents, when you teach a student the power of commitment to their homework or to the team, you're teaching them how to be a successful mother or father. Everything you are teaching your students now, have a longer shelf life than you can ever hope or imagine.

Coach shares a little bit about his journey from leaving his past role as a coach in Houston to his current role and what that looked like stepping into an already developed program.

Some key takeaways from this episode:

• Watch your actions because they'll turn into habits, which affect your success
• The power of the group is stronger than the individuals
• As a coach, don't make it so much about you, make it about THEM

Coach finishes up the episode by giving listeners a bit of advice he would have given himself when he first started his coaching career. Coach Peavy stresses the importance of not making it about you, the coach, but making it about them. It's so easy to get caught up in your season record and pushing your athletes hard in practice, but while that is important, it's necessary to not lose sight of developing them as people as well as athletes.
