NEW EPISODE: I spent an hour with '23 IHSA Coach of the Year, Patrick Gaeger (Saint Viator High School)
Here are 3 tactical takeaways to build an elite program from the inside out:
1) Stop Dictating the Vision:
If the kids don’t define the culture themselves, they won't defend it.
Patrick didn't just hand out the mantra. He assigned the team in groups - separated grades and cliques. They had a week to research and present what it means to them and if they think it fits.
2) The Carpool Culture Builder:
Viator doesn't have an practices 15 mins off campus. Patrick turned the commute into a weapon.
He made a doc for upperclassmen to sign-up with freshmen for carpools. Those 30-mins in a car, everyday, for an entire season, build a bond you can't get in a locker room.
3) Break the Routine:
When you feel a mid-season slump hitting, trade an hour of practice for a classroom culture session. Break the routine to fix the vibes.

How to work with parents as a coach

Obsessive coach? Get a life.

I spent an hour with Benet Lacrosse 🥍 HC, Brandon Singleton, and here are the 3 things I learned:
1) Get A Life: You can't authentically lead a kid to be a well-rounded, multi-faceted person if you're a one-dimensional, obsessive mess yourself. Brandon hits the gym, catches live music, and travels. He’s showing staying fresh isn't a luxury; it’s your job.
2) Learn from others: Brandon’s biggest mentor wasn't an old friend of his - it was his direct rival, Andy K. "He was one of the first phone calls to me," Brandon says. "Learning from people who have more knowledge isn't a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of wanting to master your craft."
3) Lead with clarity. Taking over a new program is a trust game, and you win it off the field. "Unclarity is what really confuses and annoys parents," Brandon says. If parents feel prepared, they trust you. If they don't, they'll act like they're the ones with the 15-year resume.

HARRISBURG, IL: "Look, I’ve seen a lot of high school gyms. I’ve seen a lot of guys walk into a new job and talk about "changing the culture" while they’re staring at a whiteboard. But there’s a massive difference between a guy who talks about it and a guy like Jake Stewart who actually builds a gravity well that a whole town can’t help but fall into."
