I often hear from Student Athletes that lead off our conversation with the tired line, “I don’t play a lot because my coach doesn’t like me.” What every student athlete needs to understand is that coaches want to win just as bad as anyone. If they don’t “like you,” you have given them a reason to believe that you won’t perform for the team. Many times it seems as though these pro
In 23 years as a sportscaster at TV stations across the country, I covered hundreds and hundreds of recruiting stories.

Character matters in recruiting. When I ask a coach in any sport what they look for in a recruit the words high character always come up in their top three.

New head coach Mike Smith looked over this weeks mini camp with eager anticipation to see signs of what his new team might be able to deliver.

Thank you for being patient, if there are any of you out there!Last night marked the Opening Night of the 2008 Major League Baseball season and needless to say, it jump started in good fashion.

I am sure we all look forward to a great and exciting season ahead of us. Don’t forget to keep up with my pre-season predictions!So there are a few things I would like to touch on in this post.

Although many of the colleges want you to believe you have to be the top of the top for baseball college recruiting, that isn't always so. In fact, many times colleges are assuming that they are not looking at the top 5% because those student athletes may already be spoken for. Some things to remember:1. Grades count. Sure, athletic ability is important, but do you have the grades to get into the college admissions office and catch their eye even without your sports ability? You should have grades that support you as a well-rounded student, not just an image of a ball player alone.2. Do you know what a college coach values in a player? Is it the same as a high school coach or a teen-level coach? What do you bring to the coach that is different from the myriad of other players your age and
Obviously this isn't Yankee related, but I thought it was funny, and that you might be interested. It does involve a former Yankee, though.Tim Buss is the strength and condition coach of the Cubs, and he drives a 1995 Nissan Sentra. At least he did up until this week when members of the Chicago Cubs pitching staff took a sledgehammer to it. " The car windows all had been smashed in, the front, back and sides all were severely dented and the smoking guns—a couple of baseball bats and balls—were strategically placed in the windshield." Here, take a look:From Paul Sullivan: When the Cubs began practice in the morning, Aramis Ramirez pointed to a wrecked '95 Nissan Sentra near the Cubs bullpen and asked: "Hey 'Bussy,' what's your car doing on the ramp?"Buss looked over at
Keith Olbermann disses Major League Baseball for their action against the Red Sox coaches, nice.Well, the Red Sox ended a threatened boycott today of their final spring training game in Florida and their flight to Japan, as they resolved a dispute against Major League Baseball over paying coaches for the season-opening trip overseas. According to Boston.com, a source said that all staff associated with the trip will be compensated.The game against Toronto started an hour late when the team voted unanimously not to play or go to Tokyo after learning coaches and staff would not get a $40,000 appearance fee for the Japan trip. Players said they believed that fee was part of the original deal.According to the major league source, in the past, the coaches' compensation has come from the players
Three coaches of Italian giants AS Roma will run a football workshop in Dhaka, during May of this year.The programme will be organised by Singapore-based advertising firm DENTSU and YKK Bangladesh under the auspices of YKK of Japan.The Roma coaches - including former Roma defender Maurizio Turone who won 227 caps for the Serie A side from 1979-87 - will run the three-day workshop among 350 kids (boys and girls) between the age of 10-14 years.They will also work with 30 local coaches.The 55-year-old Turone was Lazio's technical director from 1992-97, the technical director of Genoa's Serie A and B sides from 1998-2005 before joining as technical director of AC Roma School of Oceania in 2006.In this regard, a joint meeting was held at the BFF Bhaban on Monday among YKK managing director Hiro
Soccer coach Guus Hiddink has said that he may stop coaching all together when he is done coaching the Russian national team. His contract there ends in 2010. Hiddink, 61, said he would like to take a more advisory role in the sport.He said: “If I don’t become a bitter old jealous man by then I might continue. Actually, I’m enjoying my job right now. I get a lot of positive energy working with young people, teaching them a few things. It’s a big motivation for me to keep going.”Hiddink is known as somewhat of a miracle worker. In 1998, he beat the odds and lead Holland to the World Cup semi-finals. In 2002, he repeated the success for the South Korean team, and in 2006, he lead Australia to their first showing since 1974.

Many have been quick to jump on Fulmer and the coaching staff for a lack of control and for not being on top of this situation sooner. However, according to Doug Matthews, a radio personality in Nashville and former Tennessee position coach and defensive coordinator, that may not be a fair assessment.
Matthews contends that the University decided to take the academic control away from the Athletic Department several years ago. The old rules allowed the coaches to be involved in this process to monitor a student’s progress but that is no longer the case. According to him, coaches aren’t allowed to even speak to the professors and therefore are “handcuffed by what the rules will allow them to do”. He wa

David Stern is willing to try anything to boost ratings. The latest thing that they are trying in the NBA is making coaches wear mics during the game so that fans can listen on timeouts and such. Sounds like a good idea in theory but many players and coachs aren’t feelin it.
Former NBA coach Jeff Van Gundy had a classic reaction. “You’re kidding me,” said Van Gundy. “And head coaches are really going to have to do TV interviews during games?”
Phil Jackson is another coach that didn’t like the idea of it:
“I’m going to stick my foot right in it, too,” Jackson said. “I wasn’t at the league meetings with the coaches this year, and I’m very disappointed in my comrades for rolling over on this so easily.”
“It’s going to be real hard on us coaches,” he said. “We do things in private. It’s an inner sanctum. For people to be in the inner sanctum, where emotions are high … it’s big brother, it’s very big brother. It’s ver

Check this out, it's the voting record for every coach who had the power to alter the national title game. Let's look at some highlights, shall we? The coaches for LSU, Ohio State, and Oklahoma voted their team #1. How are they allowed to do this? They obviously are biased.

The only comments after the game are about what was in a newspaper about one of his quarterbacks.The king of blow-ups, Bobby Knight...Allen Iverson goes over the merits of practice...Mike Tyson goes weird...Sweet Lou goes mad...We all know this one...For wrestling fans, this is the video of the infamous "Montreal Screwjob" - pro wrestling may be scripted; however, this is very much real.
While I've been to coaching vs. therapy presentations before, they were always lead by coaches. So I thought it'd be particularly refreshing to hear about it from the other side, as it were.

If you think playing against the Patriots is bad, try taking your high school football team to Smith Center, Kansas sometime.Smith Center scored 72 points in the first quarter of a high school football game Tuesday night on the way to an 86-0 win over Plainville.Smith Center forced six turnovers in the first quarter as it racked up what is believed to be a record for points in a quarter by a high school team, the paper reported. The previous record was 66 by Prescott, Ariz., in 1925.It was nice of them to call off the dogs after scoring just 72 in the first quarter. But really what were they supposed to do? Start kneeling down in the first quarter? Put the cheerleaders in on offense? By the way, you just know these boys are gettin' laid.By the way, they have outscored their opponents 640-0 this season.

The first college hoops poll of the season was released today and IU is represented as a top 10 preseason selection by the coaches. The Hoosiers are slotted at No. 9, just behind Michigan State.
When was the last time IU was ranked this high going into the season? (To be perfectly honest, I can’t remember. Bonus points to anyone who knows.)
Two of IU’s non-conference opponents, Kentucky and Southern Illinois, also made the cut. The Wildcats, who visit Assembly Hall on December 8, are No. 22 and the Salukis, who will host the Hoosiers on December 1, are No. 23.
Besides IU and Michigan State, the only other Big Ten teams mentioned were Ohio State, Wisconsin and Illinois who were among the “others receiving votes.”
I’m inclined to say the coaches got it right this time as I can make a case for each team ranked ahead of us for the time being. Duke is, as usual, overrated at No. 11. And two-time defending national champion, Florida, seems a bit underrated. They
Remember back in August when we all were talking about where former Steelers coach Bill Cowher would coach next? The talk was hot that Bill would end up in one of three places come opening day in 2008 - Cleveland, Carolina, or New York with the Giants. Well, we’re now six weeks into the 2007 season, and unless one of those three teams has a major collapse, we may see Cowher still in front of a TV camera doing Sunday morning talk on CBS, where he’s done a solid job in his first season. Considering that the Browns and Giants started opening day with awful losses, you almost wrote his ticket to one of those cities after the first game. But give the Browns and Giants credit, they have become two of the surprise teams in 2007.
The Browns have relied on, and gotten, solid play from little regard quarterback Derek Anderson. The former Ravens QB has led the Browns to a 3-3 mark at their bye week, which in quite a few circles is two to three more wins than most people had them wi
In a recent column for FOXSports.com, Ian O’Connor criticizes the people who credit the NFL head coaches as geniuses. O’Connor discusses Jets head coach Eric Mangini among many others.
“These days, a guy can go 10-6, get blown away in his first playoff game, and still show up on The Sopranos so Artie Bucco can call him “Man-genius.”
Eric Mangini is the poster coach for the counterfeit NFL genius. Fresh off his charmed rookie season with the Jets, Mangini played Mozart — a legitimate genius — on big, booming speakers during training camp before his team went out and lost five of its first six games.
Mangini was smart enough to weaken an offensive line charged to protect a noodle-armed quarterback, and to do it by running off Pete Kendall in the name of saving the Jets’ billionaire owner a million bucks. He was also smart enough to rob himself of any benefit-of-the doubt currency by adopting a charm-free public persona in the world’s most com

When NFL franchises pluck a head coach from the college ranks, it has been a practice that has seen mixed results. Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer won Super Bowls. Steve Spurrier? Not so much. Let's take a look and see how some coaches who went from college to the NFL and back to college again are faring in their second go 'round.- Butch Davis, North Carolina: Davis was a successful coach at the University of Miami, going 49-24 before getting hired by the Cleveland Browns. In four seasons there, Davis managed to take the team to one playoff appearance before resigning in the middle of the 2004 season. He has gone on to North Carolina and has compiled a 2-5 record in his first season.- Nick Saban, Alabama: After guiding LSU to the national championship, Saban went to Miami, going 15-17 befo

Career coaching is an interactive process of exploring work-related issues leading to effective action in which the coach acts as both a catalyst and facilitator. Coaches assist individuals to find their ideal career or position themselves for promotion, recognition or growth in their current field. They also help individuals who are managers and want to be more effective.
I love Tennessee football. Every year, I bleed orange, but lately I've been weeping orange. Today's game was unbelievably bad. For a while I forgot it was only the third week in September - it was such a horror show, I thought we were celebrating Halloween.Something's got to be done. A decade ago, UT was a team to be feared. These days, we're the team that's going to get fried - SEC style.I don't know what the rest of the season will bring, but after watching this team for fourteen seasons, I'm noticing an ominous pattern - the teams with younger coaches are mightily outplaying UT.As someone once said, "Everything rises or falls on leadership." Maybe it's time to term-limit our coaches or cast aside our dreams. If we can't win the crucial games, then we can't win championships. And to allow Florida to almost score 60 points against our team - that's almost impeachable. Perhaps the News Sentinel is suing the wrong group...

By Jon Saraceno, USA TODAY GAINESVILLE, Fla. — In the sultry lull of summertime, a pair of bull gator buddies revel in the night. Life in the Florida swamp, in this case an exclusive gated community of estate homes, is very good, and not simply because Billy Donovan and Urban Meyer represent the highest-paid college coaching tandem in America. The two high-motor, obsessive-type coaches lollygag around a granite-top kitchen island, discussing the joys and pains of their profession. more…
By Dave Cisar Some youth football teams have already started practicing; others will start next week like us. The common denominator is that for most of us is, we will be practicing in the heat.There are three major problems youth football players have in hot weather, heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. These problems are caused by heat and dehydration, but by taking a few simple steps, it is possible to prevent them.Heat cramps are muscle contractions, usually in the calf or hamstring muscles. These contractions are spasm like and quite painful. The cause is heat and dehydration. Rest, massaging or stretching the muscle and water are all that can be done for this, they eventually pass.Heat exhaustion is also a result of excessive heat and dehydration. The signs of heat exhaustion include paleness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fainting, and a moderately increased temperature (101-102 degrees F). Rest and water may help in mild heat exhaustion, and ice packs and a cool environ
Many young players today are hiring other pro retired players to coach them and initiate them into the game. This has been the new trend for many world cup teams also. Many boards are hiring even foreign players as consultants and coaches. Some are even hired as second in line coaches. Aspiring players have [...]
The tether connecting Philadelphia Eagles strongside linebacker Chris Gocong to defensive coordinator Jim Johnson and linebackers coach Sean McDermott will be severed Monday night at Baltimore, and Johnson is eager to see the results.So are a lot of other people, because the 6-2, 263-pound Gocong is the player whose selection with the 71st pick of the 2006 draft created a stir for several reasons, including:He played at Division I-AA Cal-Poly, where football is, at best, an afterthought.The Eagles traded up five places to make sure they got him.The Eagles almost immediately disclosed plans to convert him from defensive end to linebacker.Gocong's debut as a linebacker was delayed a year because he was placed on injured reserve after suffering a neck stringer early in last year's training camp.And the Eagles made yet another curious move along the way: They released the starting strongside linebacker of the previous three seasons, Dhani Jones, and installed Gocong as the No. 1 linebac

Tom Leach over at Turf Toe takes a look at the career of the late Bill Walsh and if he would be considered as one of the four faces of an NFL Head Coaches version of Mount Rushmore. Leach makes his list of four.
Don Shula (328-156-6, 2 Championships, Lost 32 lbs on NutriSystem)
Tom Landry (270-178-65, 5 NFC Championships, 2 Super Bowl Championships, 1 awesome hat)
Chuck Noll (109-156-1, 4 Championships)
Bill Parcells (183-138-1, 2 Super Bowl wins, 3 Conference Championship, Multiple COY Awards, Turned a bunch of losers into winners
So, who would you put on a Mount Rushmore of all-time NFL head coaches?
Offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said “You start with Brandon (Jacobs) as the guy with Rueben (Droughns) competing for as much playing time as he can get and Brandon trying to hold off and trying to get as much as he can hold on to. But, I mean, there are other guys there too. Derrick Ward, is a young guy that we are anxious to see what he can do. Again, as Tom (Coughlin) talked about, there is some interesting competition at certain positions and it is probably not proper for me to say that I think this guy is going to start. But right now you got to say that Brandon is the guy we feel confident in to be the running back to carry the ball 20-25 times a game, but we will let it all play out.” Reported by Michael Eisen, giants.com

Jacobs is a monster by size (6′4″, 260 pounds) but is very athletic. In two seasons with the Giants, he proved to be a force as a short yardage back and punched in 9 touchdowns. Now with Barber retired, Jaco

Jordan of BlogCritics.org writes his thoughts and dissects the pros and cons for each head coach in the AFC East.
Eric Mangini, The New York Jets
Mangini, at 36 years old, is just getting started, but got off on the right foot last season when his team finished 10-6. His sophomore year will be one in which fans will get a better idea of the person known as “Mangenius.”
Pros: Mangini is one of the hardest working people in the NFL. After starting out in the pros as a 23-year-old ball boy, he climbed the ranks and landed a job as a head coach. He was mentored by Bill Belichick and learned how to coach defense from him. Mangini was part of the Patriots’ coaching staff when their defense was unstoppable and full of Pro Bowl talent. As a head coach, Mangini is not afraid to be bold and surprising on the field and, off the field, he possesses a talent for drafting gifted players.
Cons: Even with Mangini’s potential, the Jets might not be playoff material quite yet. Th
