THE BLAME GAME ❌
As coaches, we preach accountability so much yet fail to do it ourselves when a player doesn’t understand a concept. How does that make sense?
Yes, there are players that learn differently so it’s even more crucial to take the time to constantly sharpen your coaching sword so your teaching is clear, correct and concise. I call it, the three C’s ✅
1. Be clear about your instruction (as if you were talking to a 5 year old)
2. Ensure the information is correct so we can put these players in the best possible position to succeed.
3. Be concise. Lead with the main point, remove any filler words that may take away from the main point & make sure the teaching is comprehensive for the level you’re teaching.
In this day & age, we have to be even better as coaches. We are fighting the hardest battle with social media and the comparison game.
The most important part is to stay true and stay you while being a sponge to learn and grow each and every day.
“Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.” — Anthony J. D’Angelo

It’s still surreal. Six years of my life, dedicated to a place, a program and university.
18-11 record as a head coach, beating four ranked opponents, two Sun Conference championships as an assistant , three developmental championships, and two national tournament appearances. I wouldn’t trade those times for the world… and if I can do it all again, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Though FMU left a bitter taste in my mouth by terminating me, and not giving me an opportunity to have a conversation with my team before my departure, the lives and relationships I’ve built there have been life-changing. Starting as a volunteer assistant as a 25 year old kid, who knew God would have led me this far to have a chance to be the Head Coach. Impacting the lives of hundreds of students and winning along the way, has been amazing.
To the athletes that I’ve coached, thank you for trusting in me and what we had planned together. To the coaches over the years that I’ve gotten the privilege of standing next to, thank you for believing in the young kid with a ton of passion. And lastly to FMU, thank you for giving me an opportunity to do what I love. Though I wasn’t the person you ultimately wanted, I thank you for giving me a shot and allowing me to build life long relationships with my players and coaches. I pray for the success of your new administration and that you lead with love first.
To what’s next, only God knows. I trust that He will guide my steps and allow me to lead lives however HE feels best. To all my friends and family that have supported me through this time, I love you and thank always.
Mendoza, Out ❤️🙏

As one of my OG’s says, slow is smooth & smooth is fast..
Often times we want to achieve goals when WE want but God has a way of showing us that things happen on HIS time.
That doesn’t mean we stop striving for more. The way I see it, he’s preparing us for something we may not see yet. As I continue to reach for the stars, I’m reminded that it only takes the faith of a mustard seed to accomplish great things.
Jesus says in Matthew 17:20 “If you have the faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” ❤️🙏

I can’t begin to explain how blessed 2024 has been to me and my family.. 🙏 Through the trials, failures, successes, and everything in between, I couldn’t have asked for more.
To more love, laughter, progression and peace in 2025 🎉
May God continue to bless you in your journey and just remember, as long as the sun rises, there’s always another chance to get it right. #2025
