Great Quotes for Coaches Podcast

It's all about your Character & Integrity!

We have begun a 7-week series based on my book, "Senior Salute," which I wrote as a follow-up to my most popular book ever, "Inspiration for the Graduate." Both are gift books for coaches or parents to give to their senior athletes. "Inspiration for the Graduate" makes for a great graduation gift, and "Senior Salute" is a great gift to give o...

Hard work needs to be a given if you're going to have any chance at success.

We come to the final episode of our 2nd week of episodes in the new format for the podcast, where I come to you three times each week, as opposed to just one time. This week, we have been dealing with the concept of Hard Work. 

Today, I have four quotes for you, but there is a key concept in these quotes that is critical for you to understand is NOT nec...

We are into week 2 of the new format for the podcast, where I come to you three times each week, as opposed to just one time. Last week, we focused on the theme of Change, since I was changing up the show.

This week, we move into the concept of Hard Work. I have three short, but powerful, quotes for you from some of the big names of the past. Enjoy!

If you want to grow and develop, you have to embrace change!

Last week, I talked about changes coming to the episode. This week, they're here! Instead of coming to you once a week, episodes will be coming to you three times a week - Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays. 

While the episodes will usually be a little shorter than in the past, they will still carry the same clout with powerful quotes for you to use with your teams or ...

Change is on the horizon! Beginning next week, I will be releasing 3 episodes per week - one on Monday, Wednesday, & Friday. The episodes will be a little shorter in length (probably), but they will come to you more often. 

My goal is to create episodes in the 5-10 minute range, cut down to one or two quotes per episode, and create more of a "short, but sweet" type of show. Yes, I will still discuss the quotes a bit, b...

If you're a coach or leader of any type of team, if you're not reading, you're not growing! This is the final episode of my "Leaders are Readers" series. You will hear 3 quotes and a powerful passage out of a book that will show you the impact on us if we read to gain different ideas, opinions, and perspectives as we navigate our role as leaders. 

I hope you have enjoyed this series on the importance of read...

If you're a coach or leader of any type of team, if you're not reading, you're not growing! This is episode 2 of my "Leaders are Readers" series. You will hear 4 powerful quotes that talk about why it's so important for leaders to become readers if they aren't already.

For those of you who are not readers, DO NOT run away from these episodes! They are for you more than they are for those of us who ...

Today, I am starting a new series. I was not planning to do so. I was merely going to do the quote that you see as the title of the series, "Leaders are Readers." Then, as I did a little research on that quote, I found quite a few more quotes to help explain the importance and value of that quote and concept. The more quotes I found, the more I wanted to talk about them.

And so, we will have a few episodes that deal with t...

We leave our series on quotes coaches should NOT use and start back to the more conventional concepts of quotes we should use. However, today's episode is not about a specific "quote" like so many of the quotes I have spoken about for most of the 260 episodes before this. Rather, today I talk about two paragraphs in Dr. Brene Brown's book, Dare to Lead.

I have talked about Brene Brown numerous times before and co...

We move into the ninth and FINAL episode of a series on quotes that coaches should NOT use in their own personal development or with their teams. Today, we wrap up by covering two concepts that we have probably all dealt with in some way before: comments about summer/off-season involvement and what we say to our teams after contests, especially after we lose.

Whoa! Those could be huge, Scott! That's right; they are! That's...

We move into the eighth episode of a series on quotes that coaches should NOT use in their own personal development or with their teams. Today, we cover a concept that ALL of us, not just coaches, need to be aware of and try not to do when it comes to communicating: sending mixed messages.

I have two different scenarios that I discuss in here where I have seen coaches make this mistake. I'm sure there are probably more, but you...

We move into the seventh episode of a series on quotes that coaches should NOT use in their own personal development or with their teams. Today, we cover one quote that I heard a coach say on another podcast that he said we should not use with our kids, and I thought, "Hey, I need to do that one in my series on quotes coaches should NOT use!" So here it is.

The coach who said this is Josh Stewart. He said it as a guest on ...

Today, we move into the sixth episode of a series on quotes that coaches should NOT use in their own personal development or with their teams. Today we cover some quotes that deal with the use of sarcasm and quotes that limit your people in any way. I wish I had heard something like this in my early years of coaching because, boy, did I ever use BOTH of these kinds of statements as a young coach.

Don't forget that I would like ...

Today, we move into the fifth episode of a series on quotes that coaches should NOT use in their own personal development or with their teams. Today we cover some quotes that deal with conditioning and punishment elements of your practices. In the last couple of episodes, I talked about quotes that were dominated by the pronouns "I," "me," or "my." You will hear that in one of the quotes today, but the...
