Coach 360

In our latest episode, Colton is live with Coach Herring of Refugio ISD.

Coach talks about the importance of not allowing circumstances to affect your performance, and shares the devastation that Hurricane Harvey had on his town. He talks about putting himself aside and being more than a coach for the athletes by sleeping in cots with them when their home was destroyed, beginning football early to keep them focused on something other than their hurt, and continually being a support system throughout the rebuilding process.

Coach goes on to talk about the fact that as coaches, they were going to allow the athletes to use Harvey as an excuse to not give their best each and every day. The way they had to go about discipline and enforcing rules looked a little different than normal because Coach ensured each athlete put his family first, but his expectations of every single one of them stayed the same.

Because of the coaching staff's attitude, the athletes were given a sense of hope during a time when most of their life felt unsure.

In our latest episode, Mackey is live at Anderson HS in what he says was one of the most electric places he's ever spoken at.

Mackey emphasizes that what we learn in sports will translate to the rest of our life. We learn things like integrity, doing the right things because they're the right things to do, and we don't fear the consequence of doing so. We live in a world where people stay quiet because they are afraid of the consequences of doing what's right. What we learn in sports is that there is POWER in standing up for the person on your right and on your left. You makes sacrifices for one another so you can come together as one and stand up for one another.

We learn about commitment and attitude and how to respond to situations through sports. There is not a person in the world more powerful than you. You are the most powerful person in the world because no one can make you have a bad attitude. There's not a person in the world that can control your effort but you. You cannot control the cards you've been dealt in life, you cannot control the outcomes, but you can always control your response.

In our latest #Coach360 episode, Mackey (@mackeyspeaks) is fired up about a recent quote he posted on Twitter talking about the idea that the very best coaches care too much about their players to not let them be their best.

The smallest things matter to the coaches that won't accept anything except each players' best. The best coaches accept nothing but the very best. They see in them what the athletes don't always see in themselves. They know and see where athletes could go when the athletes themselves don't believe they could get there. We all have someone who we would run through a brick wall for, someone who has shaped and molded us to be the people we are today.

Do you love YOURSELF enough to demand the best of you? The truth is, we're really great at loving other people and we're awful at loving ourselves. It only takes one person for doubt to be effective. The only person that has to have doubt for it to be effective is you, and the moment that you doubt yourself, you allow in the very worst language, the worst thoughts to creep in. If we cannot learn to love ourselves, we can never receive the love of other people. As much as you love other people, do things for other people, do the same for yourself.

In our latest episode, Colton is live with Head Coach Steve Wood at Aledo HS. Coach Wood shares the importance he puts on himself to set expectations and be a model of his own expectations within his program. Athletes feed off of their coach's attitude, so having a solid group of men around them, not just men who are good at the X's and O's, but genuinely good hearted men, help create a character building culture within the team.

Coach goes on to talk about the importance he places on athletes valuing and respecting their differences and how the differences that set them apart. It all starts with the coaches, having that tight knit group of men, impacting and influencing the next generation of young men.

In our latest episode, Mackey is live at Wills Point and Grand Saline.

Sometimes as leaders we think that we have to have all of the right answers, that we have to be without blemish, but the reality is that the mark of a good leader is not one who is above correction, but one who embraces it. There are twi different types of discipline: discipline of structure and discipline of correction. Discipline of structure is when you order your life to know what you say yes to and what to say no to. Discipline of correction says that when I make a mistakes, I'm going to own it.

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. If we want to become leaders, we must surround ourselves with people that make us better. Not only to do you have to surround yourself with people that make you better, but you have to make other people better! You have to ask, "how can I make you better?" Don't exploit, don't leach on other people.

People like to put humility up as a token trait. They're quick to praise it, but slow to practice it. Humility is hard because it's not about me, but it's about you. Humility requires up to look beyond ourselves, but it doesn't require us to put ourselves down.

We have a special new #Coach360 episode as Mackey joins us live from the road.

Mackey talks about the powerful time he spent at Anderson HS and how he was jamming with a coach about the idea of being one team. It's so easy to believe we are one with our basketball or softball team, or with whichever team we are a part of, but it's rare for teams to has this "one team" mentality with regarding an entire athletic department.

When every athlete comes together, there's a different energy surrounding them because every athlete is driven and has goals, and to point all of that focus towards the idea that you are all of the same, but you are different. Athletes are the most influential students in the school building.

By joining together, athletes will realize how much of an impact they can and will make, not just in sports, but through sports.
