This Thursday, the Fury 10u team will host tryouts to fill a few openings.

The 10u Fury team is concluding the season on a high note, having achieved 2nd place in the last two tournaments.

There may be players with more talent than you, but there is no reason that somebody works harder than you.

Attention Catchers!!

You have to put the work in off of the field.

🌟As a coach, I want you to remember that mastery doesn’t come overnight. Just because you struggle with something doesn’t mean you should give up. Every champion started as a beginner, facing setbacks and challenges along the way. It’s the hard work, the long nights of practice, and the determination to keep pushing through that truly define your journey. Embrace the process, learn from each obstacle, and trust that with dedication, you’ll grow stronger and more skilled. Remember, persistence is key—greatness is built, not given.💯

In twenty years, it won't matter if they were the best on the team, if they were the fastest on the field, or if they had the most impressive stats.

It won't matter if they were recognized for their accomplishments or if they ever received the title of "MVP".

It won't matter if their travel team was the best in the league, or if other coaches ever pointed them out and said, "Keep an eye on that kid."

It won't matter if they started every game or scored the game-winning run.

Don't get me wrong, I'm my kids' biggest fan.

I LOVE watching them in all of their activities. I'm proud and honored to get to do so. And yes, we're a family who likes to win (and I think that's okay!)

But sometimes, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that so much of this sports-parent season is temporary. We get caught up in the competitiveness of wanting our kid to be the best, when really it's kind of insignificant in the bigger picture of their lives.

In twenty years, the things that WILL matter are the other skills our kids are learning during their time playing youth sports.

The skills they'll only learn if we put our parent egos aside and have fewer conversations about stats and more conversations about things like—

Kindness.
Humility.
Hard work.
Being a team player.
Supporting their peers.
Being a good sport even when things don't go their way.

Right now, sports are such a big part of our world.

From the outside it seems like our kids are working on things like proper technique and fundamentals of the game—and that's part of it, sure.

But really, this is an even bigger chance for them to learn lessons about life.

And when they've hung up their cleats for the very last time, I hope to walk into the next season of life knowing we haven't just raised accomplished athletes, we've raised incredible humans.
