He has gone 180, with him now and with his younger son, he stays focused on being proud of them and just giving them a hug afterwards and de-emphasizing the winning/losing. Cringe moment At youth dual meets, early on in Chris' coaching, he was too focused on the scoreboard with the newer athletes instead of just working on technique and focusing on improvement. Teaching skills & Keeping it fun Reward kids for working hard with a fun game - sumo wrestling is fun. King of the hill - start with smallest kid, whoever takes down other wins, and keep going working way up Culture Parents are a big part of it - keep them tied in and on board Doing something like fantasy sports with the kids is a really fun way to build some comraderie within the players of the team Travel sports The biggest problem is the season never ends. In a perfect world, kids would only play a sport during its primary season, and then be able to enjoy other sports in the offseasons. The one that got away Chris' final wrestling match - he got beat someone who probably wasn't as good as him - but he had taken it for granted and not trained well that week.

Susan Stout educates coaches specifically about working with kids who have ADHD, learning differences and/or anxiety. As a former swim coach and now a mom to an avid young athlete with ADHD and dyslexia, Susan wishes she had known when she was coaching what she knows now about how to recognize the differently wired kids, manage the challenges and bring out the best in these athletes.

Susan was worried about over-coaching girls who had previously been her teammates. She learned she needed to be the coach first and not worry about trying to impress them or be their buddy. Keeping training fun Relay races are always a great way to compete and have fun while conditioning Achieving peak performance under pressure They start meets with cheering and getting energy up. Then she would have the athletes come and check in with her before their events to chat one-on-one. The coaching is finished at this point - instead reinforce them and tell them - 'you've done it, the work is done, now go have fun and show what you can do' The one that got away As a swimmer, for 3 years Susan was trying to break 36 seconds. 3 times she got 36.00. She still had a great time, just wishes she could have got a 35.99. :) Best stolen idea Building a culture of being a family.

This has pros and cons - a lot of creativity can be developed, but mixing in a bit of coaching can help the guided discovery process. Emphasizing fun at young ages and training parents to recognize development vs. just wins and losses is key. We Make Footballers 14 franchises across England, have prepared 170+ players who have gone on to join academy teams Focus is preparing players for academies Website: wemakefootballers.com Great fun skill building games Stuck in the mud - Get in a square, everyone has their own ball, dribbling. Make one player the sticker - he runs and tries to tag the other players. When tagged, they hold their ball over their head, and if other players kick their own ball between a frozen players' head, that player is freed. Snake - In a square. 2 players have to hold hands, they are the snakes. The rest are the mice. Players don't have a ball, they just run around. As players are caught, they join the snake.

WYC 164 – Youth Baseball – Freddy Hilliard – Selflessness, Excellence, Energy 1:04:51

1:04:51

Freddy Hilliard is the head coach at Malvern Prep in Pennsylvania. In 8 seasons as coach, he has surpassed the 260 win mark, collected 5 PA state titles as well as 5 national top 25 rankings and has sent 75 players on to play college ball. His former players view him as a coach, mentor, teacher and role model. Although he develops baseball skills, he is even more talented in developing better people first and foremost. Baseball as we know is a small part of life, how we conduct ourselves as humans, as husbands, as brothers, as fathers…that is what is important in life and that is how we will be remembered. Twitter: @coachhilliard16 Listen Now: Listen on iTunes: iTunes link Listen on Stitcher: Stitcher link Listen on Google Play Music: Google Play link- - Cringe Moment After a loss, on the bus ride on the way home, the kids were laughing and having a good time. Freddy couldn't understand why they were having fun and weren't mad. It was a good eye-opener, that most of these kids enjoy being on the team, but they have a lot going on beyond this team. The biggest lesson he learned was investing more in them as people and getting to know what makes them tick. Choosing to be excellent at everything means work, but don't be satisfied with being OK or mediocre. Teaching skills It all starts with the why. Teaching is much more effective if they understand what they are trying to accomplish and why it's important. Players should be free to ask questions and suggest improvements Competing is key to getting kids to focus and give their all. They have 4 yellow jerseys - they give them to the best 4 defensive players at their 4 stations. They also have a batting championship belt they award (similar to a WWE or boxing belt) each practice. Achieving Peak Performance Work with your team on breathing to calm their heart rate down Visualize success. Think about success and don't be afraid to fail. Core Values They have 3 of them: Selflessness, Excellence, Energy Connecting with and impacting kids Freddy had a player who didn't get much playing time, but had a great attitude, and stayed in touch for years to come. This speaks to Freddy and his staff valuing him as a person, not based on his talent level. The one that haunts me Freddy's team was in the state championship game, they had beaten the other team twice that season rather easily. They lost in extra innings. Freddy thinks he could have done a better job getting his team focused and not being complacent.

Dr. Rob Bell is a mental toughness coach. He is a husband and father of two wonderful kids. An Ironman and endurance athlete, and loves to PLAY: golf, swimming, skiing, running, ping-pong and chess.

Website: drrobbell.com Twitter: @drrobbell Facebook: /TheImportanceofmentaltoughness Instagram: /drrobbell Listen Now: Listen on iTunes: iTunes link Listen on Stitcher: Stitcher link Listen on Google Play Music: Google Play link- - Hinge moments A person, a decision, or a moment that changes the direction of your life 1 of Dr. Bell's hinge moments was when he was in college and living a party life- he walked off an 80 foot cliff. But it woke him up and changed him: "Our worst moments in life often end up becoming our best moments" Mental toughness training Mental toughness - 'It's caught more than it's taught' The most important time is when adversity hits - How, as coaches, do we respond? When they fail - teach them that 'this is an event, not a person.' "It's a bruise not a tattoo." Visualization 'To visualize success you have to have had success' - So you have to lots of competitions - then the debrief is key: What were you thinking about when taking that key shot? Were you thinking about letting down the team, or what was going through your mind? And don't just compete physically - they can compete on who gives the most high-fives or something mentally so different kids win and lose Making the kids hungry How can I find the motivations for everybody? Motivating is the hardest mental skill. It's hard. You have to train your coaches and captains to help. Then it's a unified effort to pick everyone up and keep them on board. Timing for feedback Parents - during the game is not the time to give feedback. You want them listening to the coach. The 2nd worst time to talk to your kids is on the car ride home. The best time is in non-pressure environments. Best borrowed/stolen idea Jack Nicklaus: 'People don't understand how many times you have to finish 2nd before you finish 1st' Favorite books/quote: Quote: 'Some battles aren't worth fighting even if you win.

Adam Walker is the coach of a U14 boys fastball(baseball) team in Ontario Canada. His note to WYC: 'I have been coaching for years in hockey and fastball, I have had good results but not great. I also had decent relationships with my athletes but again not great. Last winter I found your podcast and after listening to a lot of episodes especially those around creating a winning culture I made some changes to the way I coach. In the past I was never overly negative but I didn’t focus on being positive. I spent time talking to my athletes but I didn’t make it a point to really know them. After making these changes last season not only did I see a huge change in the passion these young athletes have for the game, we were also closer as a team, I developed great relationships with my athletes, and in the end we won our provincial championship and then went on to win a National Championship. These young athletes had such a passion for the game and it resulted in them working harder every time we were at the diamonds. In the end their skills and self confidence grew and the result was a National Championship and memories these kids will never forget.'

'It was more what I wanted not what the kids wanted.' Long Term Athlete Development How do you prepare athletes long-term to succeed? Failure is part of the process - have them fail early, but make sure it is in a safe environment. Changing culture Post-game talks - Coach doesn't need to rehash all the things they did wrong. Have the players share with each other what they did well. 'Your athletes can either show up to every game afraid to make a mistake or excited to play the game. Both options are up to the coaches." Put pressure on the other team by making them make a perfect play, then live with the results. You have to be both: Positive & Demanding.

So the coach shows the experienced player what they want to teach, then the experienced player teaches that skill to the less experienced. Great way to teach your leaders how to lead. Great small area game Chumash - 3 on 3 - can score on either side of the goal. Similar to 3 on 3 basketball, you have to take it 'back' when possession switches. Pop goes the weasel/Fox in the box 5 defenders in front of goal, 5 offensive players. Defenders have to stay in the box, offensive players cannot go in box. Then a defender 'pops' out of box and covers the ball, then when that players passes it the defender goes back into box and the next defender pops out. Teaches offense to not run into traffic and move the ball. Nonverbal communication Creating some really simple hand signals is much more effective than trying to yell across a field College recruiting - Showcases Elite camps - the key is the student needs to have a relationship with the coaches before the camp. College recruiting - Know what D1 demands are D1 - Train and practice year-round - Full time job year-round and you go to school D2 - Full time job in-season, mostly a full-time job out of season D3 - Full time job in-season, off-season the expectations are much lower Best way for a high school coach to prepare an athlete for college Freshmen/sophomore year - Look for camps where coaches from a school you want to go to will be. Make sure the school you are interested in has the major you want to study. The athlete should email coaches (make sure you understand the specific NCAA guidelines for your sport). Never should come from the parent. Coaches don't want to hear from parents. Remember MOST college athletic scholarships are not for full rides. Many only cover 1/4 to 1/3 of cost. Grades/test score/rigor of your schedule - are the most important things a high school athlete should focus on. The one that got away Being a female coach in a boys' sport - Shannon got called horrible names. She taught her players the best way to beat a bully is to outscore and outplay them. Favorite books/quote: 'You can march to the beat of a different drum but you have to stay in the parade' Parting Advice For each practice - have a clear measurable obective. Tell the players what it is at the beginning of practice, then review it at the end and ask for input on how well you accomplished it. -- Reviews are the lifeblood of the podcast!- If you like the podcast- please take 2 minutes to write a review!

Keep an open mind when working with athletes. Teaching skills Don't just practice 'normal' situations - practice reacting after a mistake is made (a groundball is dropped, then react to how recover) Achieving Peak performance mentally Kids need to fail, earlier better than later. Ask them 'what did you learn?' Let the kids make decisions, let them learn, don't use them as robots. Team Culture It starts with respect for the game. Respect your equipment, your opponents, the umpires. Clean your dugouts. Character - are you happy when your teammates do well? How do you treat your teammates, the coaches, ets. Captains/Leaders They are servants and need to model behaviors Discipline It's all about communication - if a player isn't hustling, ask them 'are you tired?' If they say no, tell them it looks like they're tired because they're not running hard. Maybe tell them you're going to sit them out of the next few plays because they look tired, and they need to come tell you when they are ready to run hard again. Practice hustle. It's a habit, not inborn. For warm-ups in practice, have them run to their position on the field. Then blow a whistle and have them run back to you. (hidden conditioning) Connecting with and impacting kids It's cool when players you coach start implementing things you taught them The one that got away Tell kids what to do, not what not to do. Best borrowed/stolen idea Don't just copycat other coaches' ideas. Learn, but make it your own. Favorite books: Ken Ravizza - Heads-Up Baseball 2.0: 5 Skills for Competing One Pitch at a Time The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg Podcast - Krush Performance by Jeff Krushell Podcast - ABCA Parting Advice Create the most fun you can in practice. Make it unique and not too repetitive/boring. Make it competitive. Come with enthusiasm. Talk to each kid during each practice. Talk less, ask more questions. -- Reviews are the lifeblood of the podcast!- If you like the podcast- please take 2 minutes to write a review! Click here - Ready to be an Awesome Youth Coach?

WYC 156 – Girls Lacrosse – Dave Briglio – Say Less & Ask More 1:07:34

Dave's bio: My direct sports coaching experience range from 2-10th grade for the past 10-yrs, but I also intersect with the varsity players while I’m working w JV (girls lacrosse). But my day job (consulting Engineer) is what led me to learning to coach adults on the job, and see how similar the process is between 8-18 yr olds and 22-62 yr olds...different nuances, but it all comes from the same place: connections, compassion and creating community. And it doesn’t have to be all rainbows and unicorns; but it certainly takes a lot more than “managing” and “instructing” with a firm attitude. My big interest is seeing how critical youth/HS sports are in helping the next generation grow into the best people they can be. And I tell stories about my time as an athlete, mentors I’ve found after college, my family history (Dad created a company/vocation with a HS diploma and a work ethic futures through sports), and the young people I “serve” as their “Chief” Engineer. And I now use these stories to help PARENTS see how to have less worry and find more joy in their kids’ sports/school. website: www.complete3.net Podcast: Making the Play Twitter: @complete3org1 Facebook: /complete3 Listen Now: Listen on iTunes: iTunes link Listen on Stitcher: Stitcher link Listen on Google Play Music: Google Play link- - New Sponsor!

Coach them vs. yelling at the players on the field. Achieving Peak performance mentally Praise the effort over achievement Fear is a very short-term motivation. A feeling of security and that someone believes in you is best way to increase kids' confidence. Figure out what you want to celebrate - and do it a bunch, in practice and in games. Real-time (otherwise it feels like false praise if you do it later.) Some of the best praise is when you are doing it 'behind their back' - when you are praising someone who is not there at the time. Self Esteem vs Self Confidence Confidence is what you visibly display. But esteem is what you truly believe about yourself.
