Hey Everyone. As I go through my 12 families paid training the number one thing (not surprising to me) is once again the recruiting issues and in the class of 2026 it was very murky (some other private coaches told me their students as a group were down as much as 60 percent just this season in scholarships) and now moving forward with the DSA (Designated Student Athlete) from Judge Wilkins House Ruling the Roster cap is drastically going to change and I doubt if any (after this year) PWO's will be "offered". Over the past few years we’ve watched NIL, the transfer portal, and recruiting change faster than at any point in college sports history. But the truth is that most parents are trying to navigate a billion-dollar system with almost no information. Meanwhile three groups seem to be doing very well. 🐷 The NIL “experts”🐷 The NCAA machine🐷 The lawyers writing the contracts Parents are the ones funding the system — travel teams, camps, showcases — yet they often receive the least amount of real education. And if you have not checked out our Parents FREE Course you should since it addresses many of these issues. If you haven’t started the course yet, begin there.

Parents… The other day while getting ready for my training this weekend and making sure all my footballs were pumped up, I noticed something on my PSI pump with all the different settings but never occurred to me before in my 52 years of coaching. Every football has a recommended PSI. Every basketball.Every soccer ball. Too little pressure? It won’t perform.Too much? It breaks down, and then sometimes we gotta send the balls back to get re-done with a new bladder inside and yes laces. And while the ball on the OUTSIDE might be all nice and "prepped up" and ready to go it may be the inside that is causing the issues. So why do we know the PSI of a football… But not the PSI of our own kids? PSI = Pressure Squeezing Inside. Is your athlete:🔵 Underinflated – coasting, comfortable, unfocused?🔴 Overinflated – anxious, stressed, playing scared?🟢 Just right – structured, challenged, supported? Before you sign up for another camp… Before you chase another star ranking… Ask this: “What PSI is my athlete operating at right now?” Let’s talk.

I’ve said this for years — and it’s more relevant than ever in 2026: “The transition doesn’t FAIL the athlete; unprepared athletes FAIL the transition.” Honest question for parents: When you think about the next transition your athlete is facing, what part feels the most uncertain right now? 🔹 Physical preparation🔹 Mental / emotional readiness🔹 Communication with coaches🔹 NIL & financial reality🔹 Time management & independence🔹 Or… you’re not even sure yet One sentence is fine. Don’t overthink it.

Last night during the National Championship game, most people focused on the score. What I noticed was something very different — the age and experience of the athletes on the field. It made me think about how many transitions families go through in youth, high school, and college sports — not just for athletes, but for parents and coaches too especially the Moms and Dads sitting their seats watching thier child at the Highest Level of competition and enjoying it. 👉 Question for parents:Which transition has been the hardest for your family so far — athlete, parent, coaching, or expectations.ham? I’ll explain why I’m asking this in today’s podcast.

With many athletes heading to national camps and showcases in the coming days, this needs to be said clearly: National events don’t reward emotion.They reward preparation. Every year I see families who are excited to attend the National Camp Rankings Event - Wake up late - Skip Breakfast - Rush out the door - Skip proper warm-ups - Skip stretching - Skip mental prep After spending thousands of dollars to be there. Then the comment POST CAMP becomes: “He just didn’t have it today.” That’s not talent.That’s temperature control. The best performers don’t try to “get hot” once they arrive.They arrive ready. 🎯 ONE QUESTION (PLEASE ANSWER HONESTLY) Before your next event, what is the ONE thing you will control so you don’t start the day rushed, tight, or reactive? 👇 One word or one short sentence. (Preparation always beats panic.) “If you’re paying national-camp money, you should be showing up with national-camp preparation.”
