Develop a High Appreciation For Life – Coach Gig’s Daily Locker Room – Video

15-02-2012 20:35 thedailylockerroom.com Have you ever known people who complain about everything? Their soup's too hot. Their bed's too cold. Their vacation was too short. Their pay is too low, they hate their job, their boss, and on it goes. You sit side by side with them at dinner and while you enjoy every morsel, they tell you want's wrong with each and every dish. Such people don't appreciate life no matter how good it gets. Appreciation for life isn't a matter of extreme knowledge, where you were born, the people you hang out with, the money you make or don't make. It's not a matter of taste or sophistication. It's a matter of perspective. John Wooden said; "Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out." The place to start is with the little things. If you can learn to appreciate them and be grateful for them, you'll appreciate the big things as well as everything in between. When I wake up in the morning, I immediately direct my thoughts to being grateful for the day. I look outside my window and by habit I say thank you! Thank you for this day and thank you for the opportunity to see. From there I go on to say thank you for my daughter, my family and the people in my life who I love and love me. I close by saying "use me to help others today to live their best life." Develop a high appreciation for life and you to will be living your very best life. http

Matheny wants to influence youth coaching, as well

Posted: at 5:28 pm


without comments

JUPITER, Fla. • Sitting at the desk in his new office at Busch Stadium, St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was hesitant to ask. It wasn't the question that stopped him so much as the ramifications.

He figured that if he gave an honest answer to the simple question -- "How many games did you play at catcher during a season as a kid?" -- it would send some parent somewhere into action. The answer was a big number. He didn't want it to be a big headache for another kid.

"When I say we played 100 games a summer," Matheny eventually answered, "I was catching almost 100 games."

He then offered a caveat.

No kid he coaches would catch 100 games in a summer.

Matheny, who comes to the Cardinals' managing position by way of working the past few years as a coach for high school-aged players, spent more than an hour last Friday talking with this reporter for a story that appeared in Monday's Post-Dispatch. The story was meant to offer an origin of sorts -- a look at how Matheny got here before we spend a whole spring covering where Matheny goes next. Elements of the interview will nourish stories coming throughout spring as he touched on many topics -- one, for example, was what ingredient is missing from some talented players in the system -- but one issue he kept returning to as he described his own upbringing in Ohio as a full-time catcher.

There were things he did -- things he chose to do -- that he would not recommend for today's young players. At several times during the interview, he worried that "some whacked-out dad" would read his answer and inflict the workout on his son.

"I feel it's part of my mission with this position to make some amends for the game and some of the whacked-out views have," Matheny explained. "I'm scared to death that people are going to read this and make their kids catch 100 games in a summer. But that's what people are going to read into it. My dad was so not what this is -- this is what you've got to do. He was supporting me and the passion I had to do it. ... He encouraged us with whatever passion we had."

If you've read the story, you know that Matheny and his father, Jerry, once had a long talk about the benefits of playing catcher and how Matheny should commit to the position if he wanted to make the majors.

Matheny was that life-defining age of 10.

After telling that story, Matheny switched into coaching. He said nowadays he wouldn't let a 10-year-old choose a position and stick with it. Kids should be playing all positions, he said. It wasn't the early selection of a position that got him to the majors, it's what he did years after committing himself to the tools of catching. The better approach for all players, Matheny stressed, is to get experience all over the diamond.

Matheny's early move to catcher was, in part, related his older brother's experience with youth coaches. Rusty, two years old than Mike, was a pitcher, and he had arm troubles late in his high school career because, Mike explained, he was over-pitched as a kid.

"He pitched every game, every pitch, every inning," Matheny said. "My older brother was over-pitched and he really had trouble bouncing back from it later."

That's one reason Matheny treaded carefully as he told his story about not only falling for the game but working on the game.

As mentioned in the article, his dad and him set up a chart that would reward him for time spent working on his swing. Matheny would take 1,000 swings before school and a 1,000 swings after school, and if he completed the scheduled work each week he would receive an allowance. But it wasn't just 1,000 swings. Matheny was a switch-hitter at the time, so it was 500 swings from each side of the plate. And those 500 included dry swings, swings off tee and soft-toss swings off the contraption he invented to flip him baseballs. He also took swings at a basketball with a weighted aluminum bat.

When he was done listing the various types of swings he would take and how much time he would spend as a teen at the tee, Matheny again offered a caveat. It's one that may come up regularly with Matheny as he tells his story and others this spring and throughout his first season as the Cardinals' skipper.

This kind of work is not for everyone.

Doing so won't get you to the majors.

"That's my fear in talking about this -- that this is going to make some whacked-out (parent) do something stupid, too," Matheny said. "It's not for everyone."

Steelers Coaching Profile: Todd Haley

Posted: at 5:28 pm


without comments

An interview with Arrowhead Pride's Joel Thorman on the Steelers' hiring of former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley as offensive coordinator.

Feb 15, 2012 - A clean-shaven Todd Haley was introduced as the Pittsburgh Steelers' new offensive coordinator last week, bringing the Upper St. Clair High School alumnus' football life full circle.

Now 44, Haley grew up around the Steelers when his father, Dick, was the team's director of player personnel in the 1970s and '80s. And as he told reporters as his introductory press conference, those early memories have shaped his football life.

"All my early memories in life somehow revolved around the Steelers," Haley said. "My earliest memory was watching the Immaculate Reception. Those things have stayed with me, and they are a big part of who and what I am.

"In my mind, this is the greatest organization and the greatest team in the NFL.

"And that comes from the heart."

(Link: Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

Now, Haley is back in Western Pennsylvania after a long journey with several NFL stops.

He began his career in the scouting department with the New York Jets in 1995 before working his way up to an assistant's job in 1997. From 2002-2003, he coached wide receivers with the Chicago Bears, then moved to a similar job with the Dallas Cowboys in 2004.

Haley got his first big opportunity with the Arizona Cardinals in 2007 when he became the team's offensive coordinator, and he thrived in that job. His offense that season finished ranked No. 7 in the league in scoring and No. 12 in total yardage. A year later, with stars like quarterback Kurt Warner and receivers Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald leading the unit, the Cardinals improved those rankings, finishing No. 3 in points and No. 4 in total yardage en route to a Super Bowl XLIII berth opposite the Steelers.

His success with the traditional doormat team landed Haley the head coaching job with the Kansas City Chiefs beginning in 2009. The first season was a rough one as the Chiefs struggled to a 4-12 record, but in 2010, K.C. bounced back to win the AFC West with a 10-6 mark.

Offseason injuries brought misfortune this past year, however, and Haley was fired after starting the season 5-8. A reported poor working relationship with the Chiefs' front office and lack of success on the field proved to be his undoing.

Now, Haley will replace Bruce Arians as offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh.

And so, for perspective on Haley's time in Kansas City and what he might bring to the Steelers' offense, we turn to Joel Thorman of Arrowhead Pride, SB Nation's Chiefs blog. Check out his responses to some of our questions about Haley below.

AB: Generally, how do Chiefs fans feel about the job Todd Haley did? Is there a consensus, or are there competing opinions?

JT: I think we all agree on a few things -- Haley's firing of Chan Gailey late in the preseason hurt the Chiefs in 2009 and Haley did a very good job as the head coach in the 2010 division title season. It's in the 2011 season that we see some competing opinions. Some point to all the inconsistency the Chiefs had all year, especially offensively. Others point out that the Chiefs were still in playoff contention as late as Week 16. So some people feel he got a raw deal by getting fired before the end of his third season and others feel it came at the perfect time.

AB: Could you break down the offense he ran in Kansas City? What worked and what didn't work?

JT: Haley came from Arizona, with that high-flying passing attack, so we initially thought we'd see something similar. Instead, Haley worked with what he had, and that was a solid running game. They kind of stumbled into Jamaal Charles being a great player and added Thomas Jones in 2010 to lead the league in rushing. Haley will utilize the talent that's available to him -- he's not a pass-only guy, or a rush-only guy. He's had success at both.

AB: How would you rate Haley's quarterback development with the Chiefs? How do you think he'll work with a guy like Ben Roethlisberger?

JT: Roethlisberger is an established quarterback, so I think this is less of a concern for Pittsburgh than it was in Kansas City. Haley worked with Matt Cassel, who was up and down in their three years together. At his height, Cassel was a Pro Bowl quarterback with a 27:7 touchdown to interception ratio. But there were reportedly issues with Haley interjecting when the offensive coordinator was calling plays and creating confusing situations for the quarterback. That would be the negative on him, I think.

AB: The Steelers reportedly let Bruce Arians go to find a coordinator who will re-institute the "blue-collar," power run-based attack with which the team is often associated. In your experience, how well does Haley fit that profile?

JT: I think he can definitely do that. Haley had the No. 1 rushing attack with the Chiefs in 2010. They ran the ball a ton during his tenure. Haley shouldn't have a problem establishing a solid rushing attack.

AB: The Steelers boast an excellent young wide receiving trio in Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders. How do you think Haley might get those guys involved in the offense?

JT: Go back and look at Haley's career and you'll notice receivers have often had great years with him. Haley is a former receivers coach himself and has worked with guys like Keyshawn Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald and Dwayne Bowe. I would feel good about the development of Pittsburgh's receivers in the coming years with Haley running the offense.

AB: The word "paranoia" has come up in some stories about the bizarre details of Haley's departure from K.C. What's your take on the work environment there and how Haley fit into it?

JT: Eh, it's a he-said, she-said type of situation. Haley indicated to a reporter (before he was fired, by the way) that he thought the Chiefs' management was bugging his phones. The Chiefs have adamantly denied that. It's hard to tell, right now at least, whether this is more about Haley or more about the Chiefs' management.

AB: Do you think Haley is better suited to be a coordinator than he was to be a head coach?

JT: That's hard to tell. He's had success at both. There were many factors in Haley's tenure where you could say, 'Well he was successful only because of this.' Or, 'He got a raw deal because of this.' It's strange in that regard because there really wasn't a consensus in KC that Haley was a really good or really bad coach.

AB: Any general thoughts on Haley in Pittsburgh?

JT: He loves Pittsburgh and talked about it often around Kansas City. I think this is really a dream come true for him, considering how things played out in KC. I think he will do well in Pittsburgh as he continues to rehab his image.

Trio to help college-bound students

Posted: at 5:28 pm


without comments

 

Phil Sloan, a Swampscott-based sports lawyer, has teamed up with his former Harvard College classmate, an independent educational consultant and life coach, Steve Maislin, and Marblehead-based financial consultant and college planning expert Jim Femia, to launch CollegeBound Coaching and Campus Connections.

The new company will help high school students with preparing for college as well as the admissions process.

 “We differentiate ourselves from other college admissions advisory services in that we believe that teenagers are more in need of ‘student life coaches’ than high-priced babysitters to walk them through the college admissions process,” said Sloan.  While they offer traditional college admissions counseling, financial aid consulting and essay-writing services, “it is our ‘student life coaching’ approach which makes us different; that, and the fact that we employ college students to provide more relevant, more affordable      college preparation and admissions services.”    

“When we began working with high school seniors over the past year,” Sloan explained, “we heard over and over again how much they wished they had begun focusing themselves sooner to what it was going to take for them to get into college.  We decided to focus ourselves on helping teenagers as early as possible to set and achieve measurable goals along the way.”

 Working closely with Maislin, a certified life coach trained in college admission counseling, Sloan has developed a new and innovative methodology to setting and attaining measurable goals through core life skills such as prioritization and time management.  Their inter-disciplinary approach, which they have termed “student life coaching,” combines extensive research in educational consulting, adolescent and sports psychology, leveraging the combined experience of their growing network of professional partners.    

“We are not claiming to work miracles,” said Sloan.  “We simply work closely with teenagers and their parents to figure out how best to help them to meet their goals, in and out of the classroom.  In today’s world where students are pulled in so many different directions, so much of that a result of social networking and texting, maintaining focus and working towards goals can be nearly impossible for the average teenager.”

“Many parents are frustrated that they are unable to communicate more effectively with their teenage children,” Sloan said. “We strive to connect with this often difficult-to-reach age group, underlining the importance of balancing their time between schoolwork, athletics, community service and other extracurricular activities, with social time, so as to better position themselves in the fiercely competitive college admissions process.”

In order to help parents to better communicate this message to teenagers, and to help them to cope with the stress of gaining admission to college during the often turbulent adolescent years, CollegeBound Coaching is currently hiring and training high-achieving college students to work closely with their clients.  “Campus Coaches” partner with the CollegeBound Coaching professional team to provide middle and high school students with the individual help, support and guidance they need. 

Further leveraging this fast-growing network of college students, CollegeBound Coaching is launching a new and innovative college visit service, “Campus Connections,” to provide high school juniors, seniors and their parents with personalized, customized campus visits at schools across the country, beginning this spring.

According to Sloan, “We are not trying to replace the official college admissions tours conducted by the schools themselves.  Instead, we are offering to provide high school students and their parents with a low-cost way to gain access to real college students on campuses across the country who can answer their real questions as to what it’s really like to go to that college.  We are also providing college students with much-needed, on-campus, part-time jobs.”

 “With transfer rates and tuition costs rising so dramatically over recent years,” Sloan continued, “we are helping college applicants and their families to make the best possible decision the first time around. With parents spending so much time and money on visiting colleges with their high school-age children, we have created Campus Connections to serve a growing demand for increased productivity of these campus visits.”

For more information on CollegeBound Coaching and Campus Connections, you can visit http://www.collegeboundcoaching.com. To speak with Phil, Jim or another member of the CollegeBound Coaching professional team about their student life coaching, college admissions, financial aid, college visit or other consulting services, you can call 800-689-5195 or you can send your inquiry via e-mail to info@collegeboundcoaching.

SBEC baseball coach Lee Hall challenges coaches at the Alabama Baseball Coaches Association convention with "Don't Let the Scoreboard Run Your Program: Invest in the Lives of Your Players."

Vickie Christopher (fourth from left) holds the title to the car made available to her by the SBEC baseball team.

Southern Baptist Educational Center baseball coach Lee Hall was the featured speaker at the Alabama Baseball Coaches Association convention recently held in Birmingham, Ala.

Hall, who was a college and high school coach in Alabama for 19 years before coming to SBEC in 2010, addressed the coaches on the seminar "Don't Let the Scoreboard Run Your Program: Invest in the Lives of Your Players."

Coaches from across Alabama embraced the challenge to look beyond the wins and losses in the game of baseball and help prepare the young men for life.

Hall has modeled his message to the coaches. In December, he organized the SBEC baseball team to secure, help repair, clean, wax and polish a used car for one of the very valued lunchroom workers at SBEC. Vickie Christopher, who needed an automobile for transportation but did not have the money to purchase one.

"We were thrilled to be able to help out Ms. Vickie," Hall said. "She does so much for our students, faculty, and staff each day serving in our lunch room. We just thought it was a great opportunity to teach our young men that giving is so much greater than receiving.

"It was a true blessing for our team to see Ms. Vickie's reactions when we presented her with the car."

George Carnall is the director of development for SBEC.

Spain's Mengual eyes coaching after retirement

Posted: at 4:32 pm


without comments

BARCELONA (Reuters) - Spanish synchronised swimmer Gemma Mengual has said she is considering going into coaching after announcing her retirement Wednesday following a career that made her one of the Iberian nation's most successful athletes.

The 34-year-old, who is known as "la sirena," or the "the mermaid," won almost 40 medals in European, world and Olympic competition and originally intended to make her comeback at the London Olympic Games after taking time out to have a child.

She told an emotional news conference in Barcelona on Wednesday she had reversed her decision because she no longer felt fulfilled in a sport which she said had given her more than she could ever have hoped.

"In the long term, definitely yes," Mengual said when asked about a coaching career.

"I am retiring now from a sport that has made me happy and through which I have made others happy and I am retiring without suffering any injury," she added.

"There are still some things I have not achieved. I have never won an Olympic gold, but that's life."

Mengual won two silver medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, in the duet and team events, and the London Games would have been her fourth.

She also led Spain to gold in the free combination event at the 2009 world championships, after which she took time out to have a son.
