Episode Synopsis

In youth sports, every team has rules — but the best programs live by standards. In this episode, Coach Mike breaks down the three non-negotiable standards that shape culture, effort, and identity: being coachable, being a great teammate, and giving 100% effort.

Using real stories from a full program rebuild, a Geno Auriemma quote on fatigue, and a behind-the-scenes look inside his junior high and high school basketball teams, Mike explains why rules only work when someone is watching — but standards work all the time.

If you’re a parent, coach, or athlete who cares about building something that actually lasts, this episode is for you.
