Week 7 Pick 'Em Results

J Grine
TexMex02 still sits at the top of the standings with 55625 points.

Hotel312 had 1 incorrect score for the week =22950 points out of 26150 possible points for week #7.

(65) We had a nice large attendance for week #7 for Pick 'Em with 65-players! This is another solid number and if you didn't play last week there is always time to catch up during the season.

32 or 64 team tournament will take place at the conclusion of the final weeks.

Leadership Week 5

I
Hope you are all having a great week.




Chapter 5: The Moments of a Mentor Leader- “Influence & Impact”


1. What are you doing with the platform you have available to you?

We hear this from time to time, "What can I really do"? There are times people get more caught up in the circumstances or the type of platform available to them and forget to focus on influencing others. While supports are helpful and in some cases needed it is still our duty to make impacts now. Not to wait until things get better. We can work towards these improvements as an organization, but we have to use the platform we have now to positively influence the students and our colleagues. I was having a discussion today about this very thing with another coach. Complaining is unproductive, offering solutions and allowing those you lead to help implement these new strategies will help create buy-in for the solutions to the problems.


2. Which role model had the largest impact in your life?

I spoke at my father's funeral and while I'm not going to type the entire speech I will leave you with the three things he taught me without realizing it.

  1. Serve Others- this is why he was a police officer
  2. The true measure of a man is not what he does with his success its how he handles his failures
  3. Be All-In with everything that you do. Inconsistent effort will create inconsistent results
Shane Shallenberger & Brian Cronk- These two men were my high school coaches at Clovis. I showed up to tryouts on a skateboard with hair down to my shoulders, jeans, and a Metallica shirt on. All I had was a glove, I didn't own any cleats or baseball equipment. I made the team (after a quick haircut) and always respected these two for not caring about my circumstances. I showed up, worked my butt off, and I wanted to play (it also helped that I was halfway decent as a pitcher). There were times I couldn't afford cleats or to pay for summer league fees, but it was always taken care of. They are still apart of my life and I still call occasionally and ask for advice on things. I have players now that do the same for me, recently one of my players had his first child and I was one of the first people he called from the hospital to tell the news. The impact of a teacher or a coach is a lifelong one.

Important Takeaways


-Don’t worry about your platform; focus on your impact.


-The focus of a Mentor Leader should be adding value to people’s lives.


-Everything you do leaves an impact on someone, whether it’s positive or negative.


Quotes


“Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do little”


“The mind-set of a Mentor Leader sees the platform as it is- not as it someday may be- and takes action now. It’s a mindset that focuses on having a positive impact on others, wherever they may be.”

"Do not pray for easy lives, pray to be stronger men." -JFK

Goal scoring

A
Parents/fans/players who get hung up on individual goal totals should remember that at the high school level, the number of goals a player scores is more about opportunity than ability. Individual goal totals are subject to the following variables:

1. Position. Start with the obvious: players up high (forwards and attacking mids) are the ones who score most. The more forward an individual plays, the more scoring chances he will have. Many coaches put their best players in defensive positions; if you moved them forward, they would of course score more.

2. Quality of opponents. How many players have we seen racking up high goal totals against subpar opponents, only to see their scoring plummet when their team's schedule gets tougher?

3. Quality of teammates. A bad team that is constantly playing in its own third isn't going to create many opportunities for its scorers; conversely, a good team will create many chances. The best goal scorer in the world won't score much if his teammates don't produce chances for him.

4. Style of team play. Many teams have a defense-first philosophy based more on possession than attack, and are more than happy to win a 1-0 game. Those teams won't generate many goals for individuals. A more attack-minded team will have players with high scoring totals, although they might not be winning as many games.

5. Goal-scoring ability. A player's ability to create chances and to finish certainly translates to goals scored, but it is a less important factor than the first four.

Bottom line: comparing high school players by looking at their goal totals is a largely fruitless exercise.
