Coach 360

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.

"Time is a created thing. To say 'I don't have time,' is like saying, 'I don't want to." Lao Tzu

We have a choice. We choose how we spend our time. Even if you are required to be somewhere at a specific time for a specific time frame, you still have the ability to decide what you do with those hours. You can either spend those hours effectively or very ineffectively. If you find yourself saying, "I just don't have the time." The reality is probably that you just don't want to. You can prioritize and use things in a different way; therefore, making more time than you thought you had.

"A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life." Charles Darwin

When we waste time it's because we think we have enough time. We live in a world where we think time will always keep turning. We have bought the idea of the circular clock.

When we realize that we don't necessarily always have time. The day and time will come when we run out of time.

"You can have it all. Just not all at once." Oprah

This quote shows us the importance of prioritization. We can't say yes to everything, we have to say no to things. Rarely, we explicitly say no. Most of the time when we are saying no to something, we are saying yes to something else.

After being diagnosed and being on a waiting list for a transplant for over a year, the time came for him to undergo surgery. He underwent the surgery and soon after, the doctors realized that the organ had began to reject his body, which has been the case for only 15 people in the world. With his odds balancing, Coach was determined to get better. With no one ever have surviving this disease, Coach has continued to power through adversity and three years later, is coaching football, dedicating his life to changing the lives of his athletes.

In our latest episode, Mackey is coming to us live with the Wylie Girls Soccer team. This episode is a special episode in that, it is from Week 26, Be You, in our Character Development Curriculum.

Mackey brings the passion as he talks to the team as if he was talking to his daughter, Jane, many years from now. Mackey stresses finding your self-worth and not listening to the constant voices in your head that tell you you are not enough.

Be you because who you are is enough. Coaches don't really care about what you do, but they care about who you are because your identity is not found in the goals you score or how fast you are. Your identity is found in who you are, and if nobody has told you this, you are enough.

In our latest episode, Colton and Mackey catch up after some down time after a busy season. They talk about taking time to rest, but not for long, as Mackey will soon be visiting the University of Houston to speak at a coaching clinic.

If you're in the Houston area, Mackey invites you to listen to him speak March 23rd at the University of Houston. He will be speaking about treating others right and continuously pursing the idea of being your best self while making other people your MVPs.

Mackey recently spent some time speaking with Green Mountain HS, and he spoke about amplifying your impact. When you are willing to work harder and go longer, your impact will be amplified. You've got to go the extra mile. Mackey talks about the ways in which Coach German of Green Mountain, has been going the extra mile by turning his football program into a leadership academy. He's not been building leaders only on his team, but in his school as well.

As coaches, when we look beyond ourselves, beyond our four walls and ask how we can serve our community, when we begin to open our scope and our perspective, then our impact can be amplified.

Mackey talks about the challenges that Coach German deals with on a daily basis. From smaller staff sizes, to the inability to work with junior high students, he has taken on those challenges to create his program and allow it to go the extra mile.

In our latest episode, Colton is live with Coach Todd Howey sharing his story on becoming a coach and how his program focuses more on building champions than wining championships.

Coach Howey talks about how as a program, they raise expectations and don't listen to excuses. Being a coach of a school in a lower income area, Coach Howey stresses the importance of making sure that just because some of his players grew up in poverty, that should not reflect the poverty. He makes it a point in his coaches to show no signs of poverty in the way you dress, in the way you behave, in the way the kids play, or in the ways they act. They do not let poverty reflect in their program in how they treat the kids. They are held to a higher standard to show them their potential and the show them that they deserve more.

He tells other coaches who are dealing with similar struggles to continue to push, push to make the school and the facilities better for the students.

Every week Coach Howey writes a weekly newsletter to his parents, custodial staff, office staff, and his HR director. The latest newsletter he shares with us a short story and the message that we can all learn from one another, we all have the opportunity to help kids improve both on the field and off, and if we work together, we can make a huge difference in the lives of students.
