Team Coaching Topics

Live Your "100"

In this introductory session, I share my story to inspire young athletes to learn to control what they can and strive to improve each day. This session will introduce them to coaching but they will have much less participation than in other sessions.

Turning dreams into habits

Players will learn to use their current dreams as motivation for developing daily habits that will result in confidence and eventually success.

Mindset

Players will learn to identify their current mindset, fixed or growth, and learn to make positive adjustments for improvement.

Experiential Learning

In this session players will focus on the values behind past positive experiences. After recalling a past experience they will share positive memories in order to find commonalities throughout the team.

The 2 wolves

Players will analyze and discuss the positive and negative voices we all hear. Upon recognizing the driving forces behind those voices players will discuss and learn how to control which voices they focus on.

Developing an attitude for gratitude

Players will learn the advantages of developing a lifestyle of gratitude.

Team Toxins

In this session, players will learn to understand and combat the attitudes and personality traits that will arise, and possibly harm a team, during competition.

Handle your business

Players will discuss all that has been learned and be challenged to take ownership of their own abilities and responsibilities.

John Wooden’s 5:1 Rule: A Simple Feedback Framework for Modern Coaches

John Wooden’s 5:1 feedback ratio is one of the simplest ways to transform your team’s culture without changing a single drill. Research on high-performing coaching and relationships shows that athletes thrive when they receive roughly five positive comments for every one piece of criticism, and that balance can dramatically impact learning, confidence, and buy-in.

How to Beat National Quitters Day and Build Real Mental Strength in 2026

Most people never reach their New Year goals—not because they are lazy, but because their mindset and systems were never built to last. “National Quitters Day,” the mid-January point when most resolutions quietly die, is a perfect example of how quick motivation fades when mental toughness is missing.
