Your bench is the ultimate culture check. Amateurs pout on the bench because they only care about personal glory. Pros can’t sit still. They’re too busy celebrating their teammates with genuine joy and excitement. Is your bench bringing the energy or draining it?

Coach Taylor’s Insight There are levels to everything. So, why do we expect players to improve at high levels when they get: Avg. Coaching Avg. Development/Training Avg. Basketball Environment Avg. Concepts Avg. Feedback No Accountability Then we blame others. #WIN

Losers panic, blame others and make excuses when they don’t get desired results. Winners LEARN! Listen to feedback Engage with the team Adjust their approach Reflect on performance Never stop improving Because winner not a loser!

Leaders must develop a thick skin. You’re going to make others mad sometimes. You’re going to hurt feelings sometimes, but to provide true leadership, you can’t worry about being criticized, talked about, blamed, rebuffed or scorned. Just do the best you can for those you lead.

All athletes make mistakes, but what separates great athletes from average athletes is the ability to learn from mistakes and stay resilient.

Coach Taylor’s Insight Young players focus on the process of getting better daily. The outcomes will take care of themselves. NO college coach is asking a recruit how many trophies you won, your ranking, your team rankings or how many tournaments you won. #WIN

Coach Taylor’s Insight I had an opportunity to watch some 🏀 My takeaways: We have to teach players to control their emotions, help them understand the game is more mental than physical, how to play through adversity. We don’t make good decisions angry. The GAME should be FUN!

Grand Rapids Christian 2, Unity Christian 1 in a battle of reigning soccer state champions on Monday night. No scoring until the final 5 minutes. Goals by Peter Borst (GRC), Jack Kamminga (UC) and John Cassiday (GRC). No. 11 Christian is 6-2-1 and No. 9 Unity is 5-2-1.

Coach Taylor’s Insight: Message for players and parents. Parents the growth is in the struggles so allow your child to struggle. Players embrace the struggles it will build resilience and fortitude to help you compete at a higher level. The GAME is mental! #Learn2Win
