Coach 360

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.

In our latest episode, Mackey is live at Wills Point and Grand Saline talking about the different ways to be a leader worth following.

Mackey emphasizes that to be a leader worth following, you must be slow to anger or be long tempered. Being slow to anger doesn't mean we never get angry, being slow to anger means catching ourselves and thinking twice before we are about to blow up. We pause before to stop the storm. You have to ask, "what will my anger accomplish in this moment?" A good leader always has a purpose for what they do.

A good leader buys wisdom. Wisdom is something to be pursued. Wisdom is something to be purchased, and when you buy something, you do it with intentionality. Mackey challenges us to seek wisdom, in whatever way you believe you can, read your Bible, read a book. Continually seek out wisdom by talking with others, listening to podcasts, or reading a book.

In our latest Mackey and Colton are live talking about how to make where you are the big time.

Mackey talks about the idea that as coaches, we can easily look for the next big play, get prepared for our next move, when in reality, we need to make where we are big time. Where you are has got to be the big time for you. If you can't make where you are big time then you probably shouldn't be there and the next place you go probably won't be big time either because "big time" has little to do with the stature of the program, but has a whole lot to do with what you bring to the program.

In so many areas of our lives, it's easy to think the grass is always greener on the other side, whether that be in work, school, life, or sports. If you are not willing to put in the work today and grow where your feet are planted, then you aren't going to reach that goal tomorrow.

In our latest episode, Colton is live with Coach Joe Hubbard of East Central High School talking about the importance of focusing on building relationships with athletes in your program.

Coach explains how the initial goal he has as new players join the team is to invest time and love into each athlete. Another mentality that they focus on is becoming the best they can be, whether that be in the classroom, at home, or in school, they continually instill the "work hard, play hard" mentality.

Coach Hubbard challenges and raises the level for each of his players to see how they respond to a challenge with the hope of creating good habits and a powerful work ethic in life.

Coach continues to communicate the idea that as athletes, as coaches, as parents, we cannot change the hand we've been dealt in life, but we can control the way we play them.

In our latest episode, Mackey is live at Wimberley High School talking discipline and pride.

Mackey stresses that whatever your goals and dreams are, both in sports and in life, they require discipline. Those goals are going to require that you say "no" to some things that everybody else gets to say "yes" to. Some of you will have to sacrifice what you do on the weekends and who your friends are to reach your goals and dreams. There's going to be something in you that thinks it's not fair to have to say "no" when others say "yes", but you will realize that your hard work, your dedication, and your goals and dreams are bigger than theirs are. The cost of your goals and dreams are higher than theirs are. Success is always expensive and its currency is sacrifice.

The difference between where you are and where you want to be is your pride. There are two types of pride. There's the pride that says, "I'm gonna prove that I'm right without the evidence, the pride that can never be coached. You can tell how successful we will be by how eager each of us is to be coached. The intelligent person is the one who asks all the questions and isn't satisfied with being their best today, but wants to pursue being the best for the future.

We must continually pursuing daily excellence, the pride that says, "no matter what it is, I'm gonna own it. I'm going to take personal responsibility for everything in my life every single day. Excellence isn't about chasing perfection, excellence is trying to be the best version of yourself you can be every single day. What you do with your pride is the difference between where you are and where you want to be.
