I remember it so clearly…
We were in a tight wrestling match. The athlete on the mat needed my support. The referee made a questionable call, and I lost it.
I wasn’t about to let an official steal what our team and this athlete had worked so hard for.
Unfortunately, early in my coaching career, that happened far too often.
Then one day, I heard my assistant coaches using the same terminology I used toward officials.
Then I heard our athletes making the same complaints.
Then it really hit me when I heard the fans doing the same thing.
I thought it was okay for **me** to get on the officials—but not anyone else.
I was wrong.
I preached:
➡️ Control the controllables.
➡️ Extreme accountability.
➡️ Focus on the process.
But I wasn’t living it.
I was the hypocrite.
Because we all know:
**More is caught than taught.**
Our athletes were watching me. Our coaches were watching me. Our parents and fans were watching me.
And whether I realized it or not, I was teaching them that blaming officials was acceptable when things didn’t go our way.
That wasn’t the culture I wanted to create.
So we created a worksheet around one simple idea:
**You can support your athletes without compromising your program’s values.**
You can advocate for your athletes.
You can communicate with officials.
You can disagree with a call.
But when your focus shifts from what you can control to what the official did wrong, you’re teaching your athletes to do the same.
And that lesson goes far beyond the competition.
**Control the controllables. Own your response. Model the standard.**
Because your athletes are always watching.
**More is caught than taught.**

Huge thank you to Tatnall Athletics for inviting members of our Win the Day team to speak with an awesome group of Fall student-athletes this week!
We had the opportunity to discuss two key topics that play an important role in student-athlete performance and wellbeing:
🧠 Mental health & the importance of a healthy, balanced identity beyond performance.
💪 Sports nutrition and how to properly fuel for performance and recovery.
Win the Day is incredibly grateful to be part of these important conversations and to support the development of student-athletes beyond sport.
We look forward to continuing to work with and support our Delaware programs throughout the season!

We are excited to kick off our Zoom series with “Parent University.” This zoom is meant for parents, athletes and coaches. What is the role of parents in education based athletics? How beneficial or detrimental can the car ride home or dinner table be?? When parents, coaches and athletes can all be on the same page, that’s when excellence can happen. This is 100% free to all our Win the Day programs.

We were lucky to partner with the Bucks County Drug & Alcohol Commission Inc. to create custom planners for the county’s athletes. We worked together to add substance misuse prevention information and statistics relevant to their local community. Bucks County student-athletes will be able to get these custom planners/journals and access to all of our worksheets, Zoom calls, and the entire Win the Day ecosystem. Thanks to Bucks County Drug & Alcohol Commission Inc. for recognizing the importance of prevention for our athletes.
