Just tried to be a voice and resource. Talking to the staff, I talked to Jon every other day. Players on the team would reach out. Just being an extended resource to the team and the guys that had any questions.
The additions of Bryan Maggard, Gus Malzahn and Jeff Tedford will introduce strong, fresh perspectives to the selection committee as we enter our 13th season. Each brings a deep understanding of the game, a genuine passion for college football and a commitment to integrity and excellence.
When I set out there were no role models, no Spanish players, Martinez says. Only Nayim, from Ceuta. England was unknown. It's the Third Division. You've spent your whole life learning you have to look after the ball, then you get there and the first thing they say is: Second ball'.
Cameron Toshack stated, 'It's a terrible disease. It's the short-term memory where we're seeing it. I speak to him most days and if we chat in the afternoon, he might not remember that we also spoke in the morning.'
Bell insists that time batting against the red ball is still fundamental to the modern player. He emphasizes the value of scoring runs in first-class cricket and how it sets you up, learning how to bat, how to build hundreds, and how to stay out there for multiple sessions.
Ireland's rugby squad depth is an obsession, particularly given the confrontational and dangerous nature of the sport. Compared to top nations, Ireland faces a disadvantage.
All I'd say is that it was made very clear to me by U.S. Soccer that I was going to be the [USMNT] coach, and then it was made very clear to me that I was not. At the time, I was devastated and angry, but now I am thankful and really happy to be where I'm at.
It was my first year as a head coach, the 2000-2001 season. I'm the coach at Princeton University. Preseason, we were picked to finish seventh in an eight-team league-so next to last in the Ivy League. We'd lost our coach, we'd lost our top players to transfer, one player [Chris Young, now president of the Texas Rangers] was no longer eligible to play because he was drafted in baseball. We weren't expected to be good.
I'm just gonna be a dad and a coach. I run a gym. Not looking to coach fighters because that s-t is nerve-wracking, watching your guy go through that. I just want to coach jiu-jitsu, soccer moms, working stiffs and things like that.
Honestly, I don't really remember my tournament here last year that well. I was in and out pretty quick. But 12 months is a lot of runway for a young player whose all-court ingenuity, appetite for improvement and ability to shed setbacks have generated lift. So far this year, everything has felt good. And I'm feeling pretty comfortable.
For someone so young, his attributes are very, very good. He takes on board everything. He's got a strong mind, he knows what he wants to see. He wants to lead from the front but he's not afraid to ask, and that's the best thing. But it's not going to happen immediately, so the big thing is to hold tight when things are not going your way, because it's a process. If the manager is angry, you don't follow it up with angry words, you follow up with support and a bit of know-how. There are times when I can give him a helping hand, but there's also times where I go, yeah, that's the right way and something I haven't gone through.
In this episode of the 'On Coaching' podcast, hosts Steve Magness and Jon Marcus discuss the importance of consistency in training and coaching. They delve into how simple, repetitive actions over time foster the capacity to achieve larger goals. Highlighting historical examples such as the training logs of Jack Lovelock, they emphasize the value of understanding history and adapting it to modern techniques.
The reason I know this is because I've got teenage children, Rosenior said before Tuesday night's home game against Leeds. They're on social media. It affects them. It affects my parents, it affects my family. But I knew walking into this job it was going to happen. It's normal. When you're prepared for it, it makes you smile. I'm a confident person. And if you're affected by things like that you shouldn't be in this job.
When we think about getting help for our mental health, therapy is often the first-and sometimes only-option that comes to mind. Therapy works, and for many people it is essential. But it is not the only effective path. Emerging evidence suggests that well‑designed coaching -especially when delivered inside an adaptive, stepped‑care model-can help people feel better faster, build emotional skills, and relieve pressure on an overburdened clinical system (Sagui Henson et al.).
Five years ago, finding a coach followed a predictable path. You searched a directory, shortlisted three names, booked discovery calls, and picked your favourite. The coach with the best sales pitch won. Today that process feels almost quaint. The coaching industry has fractured into a thousand pieces. People are using ChatGPT as their first coach. They're joining group programmes with influencers they've never met.
Gaelic games coaching is increasingly benefiting from a different perspective. Some time in the future, Shane Keegan can see the current Donegal manager Jim McGuinness taking charge of a League of Ireland soccer team. And in that future, there's a place for the current Limerick hurling coach Paul Kinnerk as a coach.

"Football is his life," a source told BBC Sport. "Whether it's Champions League, thoughts on players or something else, he has a hell of a brain when it comes to football detail."
