Coach 360

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.

In our latest episode, Mackey is live at Vista Ridge High School.

Mackey tells a story about Einstein taking a train and losing his ticket, and uses that story to beg the question, where are you going?

Mackey highlights the idea that in whatever sport you focus on, in whatever game you play, you are not defined by a number. Your worth is not found in your batting average, in your RBI's, in your yards or the points you score. Your character is defined by the impact you make in other's lives, and by the way you treat other people.

Wherever you go, you can learn how to treat and serve others by the game you play.

Three lessons that you'll learn in the game of sports to help you in the game of life are:

1. It'll teach you to BE ON GUARD 2. It'll teach you to STAND FIRM 3. It'll teach you how to DO everything in love

In our latest episode, Mackey is live at Cairn University's athletes chapel talking identity.

The minute that you find your identity in what you do instead of who you are, you fail. You will never find success in what you do because one day, what you do will stop, and you'll have to hangup your cleats in whatever areas or whatever abilities you've been dependent on.

Mackey shares the common misconception that most of us have of thinking we can control everything. We try to control things at the detriment of our own lives. How many of us try to hold onto things as life is spinning out of control? We are so bullish and so convinced that we can do it that we are blind to the help that others want to provide.

Mackey tells the story of the man who asks Jesus, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" He explains Jesus' response and leads us back to the idea that God loves us too much to not let us be our best. God will sometimes call you out. God will sometimes say "not yet" when we want something really bad. In the book of Job, Job cries out to God asking him where He was while everything was being stripped of him, and God tells him that He sees far greater than the human mind can understand. He looks ahead, and his mind isn't fixed on the present.

In our latest episode, Mackey is live at Cairn University with Coach Phil Shallenberger.

Coach Shallenberger shares a little about on intentionality and transforming a program by it.

In our latest episode, Colton shares some struggles he's been dealing with this week as him and his family prepare moving houses. Colton explains how easy it can be to get wrapped up in our struggles and lose sight of the opportunities and blessings we've been given to even be in that struggle.

Mackey discusses some strategies he learned from a coach up in Garland, Tx about how coach would make his players show his current events happening in the world, so they knew their struggle wasn't insurmountable, that they could overcome whatever they were dealing with because day after day and week after week, other people go through similar struggles, or even tougher situations and reach their goals and dreams.

It is a privilege to go through your struggle. This struggle will help you grow to be where you want to be. A relatable quote is, "the world changes when we change our perspective." When we change how we see things, it changes the things that we see.
