Great Quotes for Coaches Podcast

We kick off the month of June with an episode devoted to quotes from my gift book for graduates called "Inspiration for the Graduate." I wrote it as a gift book for me to give to my graduating senior athletes whom I coached. Pretty soon after I wrote it, though, I had other coaches wanting to give it to their graduates, too, so I turned it into a book to sell. It has been my bestselling book by far.

The book focuses on 10 team themes, each one being focused on in its own chapter. The chapters are then filled with quotes about those themes. Today's episode features the first 5 themes - Work Ethic, Discipline, Poise, Enthusiasm, and Confidence. Next week, I will focus on the other 5 themes.

If you are interested in purchasing the book, go to the Shop page of my website, slamdunksuccess.com, or you can purchase it on Amazon.

As always, I am so grateful to all of you who support the podcast! I do this show because of you. While I enjoy the quotes myself, I do this podcast because many of you who are looking for inspiration and impact from these quotes come back and listen to it on a consistent basis. Thanks to all of you for being a huge part of this journey!

Happy Memorial Day! (Not sure if we are supposed to say that since it is a day to honor those who gave their lives in service of our country, but I just said it.)

Today, we finish up with our theme of Diversity & Inclusion that we have been exploring for the month of May. With there being so many different groups being celebrated in May, I thought it would be good to talk about quotes that deal with these concepts.

We continue with our theme for the month of May of Diversity & Inclusion. With there being so many different groups being celebrated in May, I thought it would be good to talk about quotes that deal with these concepts. 

Also, as I told you a couple of weeks ago, I am going back to doing one episode per week, instead of three, for the foreseeable future. It works better in my schedule, and I believe it will allow me to keep the quotes fresh, so I don't have to start reusing any. So, you will hear these episodes on Monday of each week for the next few months. I will make a decision in the fall on if I will keep it once a week or go to something different again.

April flowers bring May flowers!

We kick off the month of May with this episode of The Great Quotes for Coaches podcast landing on May 1st. Therefore, I thought I would do quotes about spring since today is May Day, which was traditionally a day celebrating what was looked on as the first day of spring.

It's just a game!

With this being National Poetry Month, I have been reading and talking about poems that I find particularly powerful, inspirational, and meaningful. Today, we wrap up our series of poems with another great one for those of you who coach or play(ed) sports. It's focused on the line that we've all heard (and may have said), "It's just a game!"

With this being National Poetry Month, I have been reading and talking about poems that I find particularly powerful, inspirational, and meaningful. Today, I have another great one for those of you who coach, but it is also powerful for anyone. Also, there is some controversy or who wrote it, and it is known as two different poems by two different people, even though the poem is the same poem! Hmm. What a mystery!

"In wildness is the preservation of the world."

That quote by Henry David Thoreau is a glimpse into what you will hear on today's episode. We take a departure from the poems we have been doing for National Poetry Month to honor Earth Day today. The first Earth Day was on April 22, 1970. It started out as an event held here in the USA, but it has grown to be celebrated and honored in over 190 countries, with over 1 billion people observing and celebrating it today! And with the negative ways we are still affecting our planet, we need a day (or a week, a month, or a year!) to celebrate, honor, and dedicate ourselves to do all we can to save our planet and preserve it for the generations who follow us.

Today, you will hear 9 quotes about nature that I believe are quite fitting for an observation of Earth Day. While I hope you enjoy the quotes (like I always do), more importantly, I hope they encourage you to do, or continue to do, your part to help preserve the world for the future. Small actions by millions and billions of people can have incredibly powerful effects, so let's make sure we are all pitching in and helping in some small (or big!) ways to make the earth a better, healthier place for all.

While I enjoy the quotes myself, I do this podcast because many of you who are looking for inspiration and impact from these quotes come back and listen to it on a consistent basis.
