30 years of marriage, coaching football and teaching nonprofits how to raise money. Dad to 3, Grandpa to 3, Foster Dad to 24. WIAA State Coach of the Year.betterfundraising.com Seattle, WashingtonJoined March 2009
Sports lessons learned over 30 years raising my kids (2 now adults, 1 in 7th grade, 24 foster kids).
Slow down. Take a breath.
It’s okay to miss a few scheduled sports activities.
It’s ok to not participate in select club sports. Your kids will turnout just fine…in fact…
Question for all coaches that have coached longer than 10 years.
If you could go back to your first day as a coach and give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?
Mine. Spend more time investing in the hearts of my players and less time on X’s and O’s.…
Parents. Most likely your kid is not elite. He might be special to you, but in the world of potential collegiate and pro athletics, odds are he is not that special.
Slow down. Take a break. Love, encourage, support him every day but take your foot off the gas a little. Missing…
Sunday = day of rest.
Count your blessings, whatever they may be.
You might feel overwhelmed, lost, alone.
BUT…you are here, in the now, breathing, given this very day as a gift.
You’ve got this.
You wake up on a Saturday morning looking for a day of rest.
Then a friend calls you and asks for help moving concrete for my broken porch.
Service vs Selfish
You bring your family with you. Nothing better than teaching. Hard work to the next gen.
Rest will come later today…
As a young coach I was worried about the scoreboard.
Now I realize I must first win the hearts of my players. Wins will follow.
It takes empathy, trust, and dedication. Success isn't just about points—it's about unity, resilience, and the bond that fuels victory.
#Football play calling.
I believe that the answer to most 2nd down situations is either speed option or inside screen.
Take away their numbers, don’t block their best athletes = easy $$$
Being a transformational football coach means crafting a winning playbook for life.
It's about more than goals and winning, it's building resilience, precision, and unity.
Cheers to you coaches shaping champions on and off the field!
The energy and consistent chatter from our baseball team last night was amazing. The entire game they brought the energy.
A solid reminder for any team, any sport. Be vocal, put up, encourage, let others know you have their back.
Positive talk wins games.
I bet my son he can't beat my 100 meter time from high school. If he does, I will buy him a car.
Me = 10.8 my senior year
My son = 13.8 in 7th grade, first meet
You've got a lot of work to do young bull.
Always read the fine print. I never said what kind of car I'd buy you…
Sure enjoyed my conversation today with @CoachNickO1. Talking football, what it takes to build champions while pursuing championships.
I have a good feeling he is building something great in the land of the sun. Go get'm coach!
Hey Coach, don't forget to switch from playbook to play mode this weekend!
Even the toughest teams need a time-out. Focus your time on family, friends and a little fun for yourself.
I Hope your weekend is as rewarding as a game-winning touchdown. Relax, recharge, and come…
