3 Reasons there arenโ€™t more Black Head Coaches in the NFL. -Circumstance -Comfortability -Access Itโ€™s not a coincidence. The NFL Head Coaching fraternity is hard to break into with the amount of great coaching candidates, nepotism and back scratching that occurs that makes it tough for former players to break into the profession and climb to positions that are coveted for Head Coaching jobs. Often times owners and front office executives want to hire the people who are the best for the job, but are also the ones they are most comfortable with because they look like them, have the same or similar life experiences so they connect better with them and who they want to go golfing with. BUT ACCESS is the issue that has clear examples of how black players don't get the same treatment in coaching circles. Thatโ€™s not an opinion. Itโ€™s a fact. Take a look at Quarterbacks after they finish their playing career. Some go from playing to QB coach to Offensive Coordinator to head coach conversations quickly. The fast track is real for some players. Kellen Moore went from playing to QB Coach to Offensive Coordinator in 2 years after retiring and became the New Orleans Saints Head coach 8 years after retiring. Kevin Oโ€™Connell went from playing to coaching in 2015, was an OC in 4 years by 2019 and the Minnesota Vikings Head Coach in 7 years by 2022. FAST TRACK Philadelphia Eagles OC Sean Mannion and Washington Commanders OC David Blough both went from playing to NFL Coaching staffs and OC in 3 years. FAST TRACK. Weโ€™ve seen Black quarterbacks go into coaching in this same pipeline like Byron Leftwich who became an NFL coach in 2016 as a coaching intern and was the OC of the Buccaneers by 2019. But despite winning a Super Bowl with Tom Brady, he never got a chance to be an NFL Head Coach. Why? Did he bomb the interview? Or was he just not in the right circumstance, where he made the right people comfortable or had the proper connections to determine his access. Right now if you are on Sean Mcvay's staff you are a walking head coach in waiting. All 4 of his last OCs are head coaches. -Liam Coen -Mike Lafluer -Matt Lafluer -Kevin O'Connell Because they were the best men for the job, great coaches, had the right circumstance, made the right people comfortable, and had the right conections to get access to the job. Seneca Wallace, Jason Campbell, Cleo Lemon, Randall Cunningham. Why didn't they get the same opportunity after their playing days? Itโ€™s not just a coincidence. Maybe they didnโ€™t want to be a coach because of the long 20 year cycle they would be presented with to get to the top of the profession that is standard for most. But if you told any of them they would be an OC in 3 years or less and a Head Coach in 8 years or less. ALL OF THEM WOULD TAKE IT. But they never had access to that Fast Track pipeline. The NFL cant say we want the best leadersโ€™ while recycling the same leader profile. And if the NFL is truly a meritocracy, then the pipeline should reflect merit, not comfort. Not โ€˜who looks like the last guy we trusted.โ€™ Not who gets the benefit of the doubt for being associated with family lineages. In a league that is 70% black, the leadership should be more representative of the leagues players. There are qualified Head Coaching candidates of all skin colors. They just want a chance to succeed or fail just like their competition when their resumes clearly say they have earned it.

The great Frank Lampard talking with the great Rodri about scanning. Mr Lampard calls it picturing, borrowing from his fatherโ€™s term for it. โ€œPictures, pictures, picturesโ€ Frank Lampard Snr used to shout from the sidelines as he watched his son progress at the West Ham Academy. Why? Because all team invasion sports are the same. At the heart of these games lie the skills of anticipation and decision-making. Players who scan their performance environment give themselves the opportunity to: 1. See opportunities to exploit them 2. See dangers to deal with them 3. See patterns to understand the game around them So, of course, itโ€™s critical to instruct a player to scan. And, of course, creating activities in sessions that encourage scanning is crucial. But hereโ€™s the thing. Perhaps the most powerful way to promote scanning behaviour is to help players understand why โ€˜picture takingโ€™ is important. So often, establishing the meaning underpinning behaviour can change behaviour. Useful can be to encourage players to understand that your team invasion sport is about actions and interactions. They constantly have to interact with their playing environment - teammates, opposition, space, ball, and target. Help them understand they are detectives of whatโ€™s happening around them. A Sherlock Holmes of the interacting elements emerging and dissolving, shifting and shaping around them. By moulding their interest in their performance environment, you help your players mentally in two ways. It places their focus of attention outwards - they get out of their head into the game - an external focus of attention. Importantly, it also increases their activation levels (alertness and readiness) due to a rise in their fascination with whatโ€™s going on around them (a dopaminergic link here, perhaps). Scanning, scanning, scanning Pictures, pictures, pictures โ€ฆthese are important instructionsโ€ฆbut even more powerful could be to help players understand why they need to get their head up and start exploring the game around them.

Nick Saban has always asked this question about Leadership... "How many guys on the team need to be led?" Coach Saban believed in the power of Collective Leadership with his teams. 1. Are most players on your team bought in? 2. Do most players on your team set a good example? These players do not need someone to impact or influence them if they are already making these choices and leading by example. This is the power of collective leadership. Collective leadership is vital to successful teams. I believe there are 7 types of Collective Leaders that all teams need: 1. The GAMER - When the game is on the line. Who does the team look to? Who wants the ball in their hand? It is the Game Leader. They don't "have" to lead in other ways, but it would be best if they did. This player is often the ultimate competitor on the team. 2. The WORKER - Winning Teams have Practice Leaders. They bring energy and focus to each practice. They ensure competitive and strong practices. They Lead by Example. You practice much more than you play. 3. The GATEKEEPER - This leader ensures the Team Culture is Maintained. They put out the fires. They keep the team accountable. Especially when the coach is not there. They are essential in WINNING Teams. 4. The COMMUNICATOR - It is a long season. There will be difficult days. Teams need the Communicator to get through these tough days. They often provide humor and can lighten the mood. They have high Emotional Intelligence. This is an Underappreciated Leader. 5. The CONNECTOR - These players are often your โ€œglueโ€ players. They keep the team connected on the court or field as well as in the locker room and in social settings. 6. The ENERGY GIVER - The Energy Giver brings Positive Energy Every Day! Their Energy is Contagious! This leader knows that nothing great can be accomplished without Enthusiasm. The Energy Leader brings positive energy each day. They feed the team! 7. The SERVER - Finally, the Server embodies Servant Leadership. They are all about the TEAM. They bring a WE-first mentality to all they do. Their focus on the TEAM creates a contagious WE>ME mentality throughout the team. Collective Leadership WINS. _____ Follow me for more actionable ideas on coaching, leadership, and personal growth. Subscribe to my newsletter, ๐Ÿ† Great Teams Better Leaders 123.

Late in the 2016 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship, Villanova blew a 10-point lead. With 4.7 seconds left, UNC hit a 3-pointer to tie the game. Villanova's head coach, Jay Wright, called a timeout, and as his players walked to the huddle, they were all saying the same word: โ€œAttitude.โ€ โ€œIt's the most important aspect of our program,โ€ Coach Wright explains in his book titled, Attitude. โ€œWe wear 'Attitude' wristbands. And when we break a huddle, we say '1, 2, 3, Attitude.'โ€ The test of Attitude, Wright taught his players, is: โ€œWhere is your mindset after something bad happens to you?โ€ Where is your mindset after you blow a 10-point lead? Where is your mindset after your opponent hits a 3 to tie the game with 4.7 seconds left? โ€œWhen I looked into the eyes of our players,โ€ Wright writes, โ€œI saw no anger or regret. No one bemoaned [the UNC player's] 'lucky shot,' or that any of our guys had failed to stop him from grabbing the pass that led to that shot, or anything else.โ€ Instead, โ€œthey were all saying, 'Attitude. Attitude. This is what we do. Attitude. This is what we do.'โ€ With this mindset, the players returned to the court. Villanova's Kris Jenkins inbounded the ball to Ryan "Arch" Arcidiacono. Arch dribbled up the left side of the court, crossed half court, cut right towards the 3-point arc, where he underhanded a pass to Jenkins, who caught the ball with 1.3 seconds left, and, in perfect rhythm, jumped then released the ball with 0.6 seconds, and hit a buzzer-beater to win the 2016 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. Takeaway 1: A primary indicator of physical fitness is recovery time. If you are doing all-out sprint intervals, for instanceโ€”people who are physically fit recover from one interval to the next faster than those who are not physically fit. โ€œSo then, what is mental fitness?โ€ the mental performance coach Greg Harden likes to ask. โ€œMental fitness is about recovery time,โ€ Harden says. It's about, as Coach Wright said, where your mindset is after something bad happens to you. After something bad happens, people who are mentally fit recover faster than those who are not. Takeaway 2: Just after Kris Jenkins hit the buzzer-beater, Coach Wright famously barely reacted. Before his guys went back on the court, he explained, โ€œI processed all the potential scenarios.โ€ Most likely, the game was going to go to overtime where UNC would ride their wave of momentum and win the game. โ€œNo matter the outcome,โ€ Wright continued, โ€œbecause of the way our players responded after UNC tied the game ["Attitude. Attitude. This is what we do."]โ€”I felt like they had the greatest lesson in life. I felt like that was an accomplishment that would follow them through their lives.โ€ Ryan Holiday once told me, โ€œYou have to get to a place where doing the work is the win and everything else is extra.โ€ Wright got to that place. He had done the work to instill in his players a mindset, he said, โ€œthat they would carry with them for the remainder of their days on earth.โ€ โ€œIn that sense, I knew we had already won.โ€ Everything else was extra. - - - โ€œThe fact is, none of us control what happens to us in lifeโ€”but we do control our responses to those circumstances...no matter how tough it gets or how much of a challenge you face in the final 4.7 seconds of a game.โ€ โ€” Jay Wright Follow Billy Oppenheimer for more content like this!

Deion Sanders is the face of College Football. There are better teams. There are better programs. But win, lose or draw, no one has captivated college football like Coach Prime, Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter and Colorado. Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter both made plays against Baylor when their team and Coach needed them the most. They made those plays in the biggest moments of the game because prime time players, make prime time plays in prime time moments. Deion Sanders is Prime Time and his influence rubs off on his entire program. A lot of people wondered why Coloradoโ€™s fans rushed the field after beating a 2-1 Baylor team. They rushed the field because they know what it was like before Coach Prime and his Louis luggage showed up. There were no season ticket sell outs since 1996. With Deion, season tickets are sold out for the second straight year. School applications are up 20% with a 50.5% increase in Black student applicants. Colorado made $113.2 million from its 2023 home games alone, which led to a 51% increase in revenue through media rights with Coach Prime at the helm. Before Coach Prime, no one searched for a Colorado game. Last year alone Colorado averaged 7.2 Million viewers per game, with 5 games ranked in the 25 most watched college Football games of the year. That trend continues this year as well. Coach Prime turned the worst Power 5 school in the country into one that PEOPLE CARE ABOUT. Win or lose. You watch. Cheering for or against. You watch. However, his biggest accomplishment isnโ€™t making the Colorado Buffaloes relevant again. His biggest accomplishment is empowering the young men in his program to believe in themselves, trust God and rejuvenating an entire city in the face of massive push back against his style. Deion Sanders took 2 HBCU football players in Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter and helped coach them into 2 of the best players in the country who are both in the Heisman race. Took multiple HBCU football players and helped coach them into high level Power 5 starters who have NFL futures. You see the thing about Coach Deion Sanders is he is just as misunderstood as he was as a player. With him, you earn what you get and every single player in his program knows that. On a deeper level, watching him coach his sonโ€™s is inspirational. What Deion and Lebron have done for their families and their sonโ€™s should be celebrated. As fathers they werenโ€™t just there, they were active. They didnโ€™t just have the title of baby daddy, they are fathers. Black Fatherhood has long been mischaracterized as absent and negative. Itโ€™s amazing to see Black Fatherhood today on the highest levels be characterized as present and supportive.

Yet he checked and challenged most of what I said. It became obvious that as I spoke he was sense-making my ideas to judge and make a decision whether to use my suggestions. This is great - you donโ€™t want a coach to accept everythingโ€ฆyet you do want a coach to listen, ask questions, and make appropriate judgements. You want them open and closed! 2. ๐–๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐ž๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐œ + ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž - he had a sense of positivity about him without engaging in โ€˜toxic positivityโ€™. He certainly gave the impression that he was confident in his approach, yet this confidence didnโ€™t come across as mindless. He worked incredibly hard and this work ethic combined with his presence (built from his confidence) certainly rubbed off on his players. Work ethic + presence! 3. ๐‚๐จ๐š๐œ๐ก๐ž๐ฌ ๐š๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐œ๐ก๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ - he wanted his coaches to up-skill themselves in delivering on my suggestions (the ones he wanted to utilise). Coaches were present in my small group meetings and he wanted them to reinforce the points I made. For him, his coaches (and all the staff) were delivering the psychology. (Note: coaches arenโ€™t psychologistsโ€ฆbut they do do psychology in their role at all times!) 4. ๐‹๐ž๐š๐๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ž๐š๐ฆ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค - he was certainly the โ€˜bossโ€™ and he certainly laid down the game plans. But he appreciated the importance of leadership and teamworkโ€ฆthus gave players the opportunity to practice these in training. Team huddles during and in-between activities game players the opportunity to solve problems together, guide, give advice, share, and motivate each other. A keen combination of coach-driven and player-centered felt like the approach during his reign at Feyenoord. Psycho-social skills are important to Arne. 5. ๐“๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ฒ๐ž๐ซ ๐ฆ๐ž๐ž๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ - psychology IS tactics and tactics ARE psychology. Intuitively Arne knows this and so the thoroughness in his tactical approach is shown through the numerous meetings he had with players (on a group and individual level). Certainty drives High Performance Mindset and evades Low Performance Mindset. And that is very much a mantra we had at Feyenoord. Everything we do works towards individual and team High Performance Mindsets. His tactical thoroughness drove player and team certainty which drove High Performance Mindsets. (Note: this is my lens of the world from my experiences at Feyenoord for two seasons. Much of what I did is confidentialโ€ฆbut above offers a positive and important view of a very good coach)

I VEHEMENTLY disagree with Paul Finebaumโ€™s criticism of Coach Deion Sanders, Sheduer Sanders and Colorado. He called them irrelevant and that they donโ€™t matter to College Football. That couldnโ€™t be further from the truth. Colorado is very relevant and broke TV viewership records last year even after their 3-0 start that saw them finish the year 4-8. They out drew some of the biggest brands in all of College Football last year. Their blowout loss to Oregon had 10.03 million viewers, which topped the Notre Dame-Ohio State game. Shedeur Sanders stated that Colorado is everyoneโ€™s Super Bowl game when they play them. HE IS CORRECT, if you take the time to understand what he meant. Every team that played Colorado last year played their hardest against them because they knew everyone was watching and it was their opportunity to shine in front of the masses. It wasnโ€™t JUST ABOUT winning, they wanted to humiliate them and kill their confidence. It pains many that Coach Prime, his sons, Travis Hunter, his coaches and all his players are still walking in their purpose and have never wavered for a second. They know the mission they are on and wonโ€™t back down in the face of adversity. Colorado wasnโ€™t an โ€œEasy winโ€ last year for anyone except Oregon and Washington State. 5 of their 8 losses were by one score or less. Colorado making the College Football Playoff AT SOME POINT in Deion Sandersโ€™ tenure would be a great thing for College Football. Not just for the increased viewership, but because taking a program that last won a Conference Championship when Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter werenโ€™t even born yet would be an incredible accomplishment and rebuild. Colorado doesnโ€™t have to go to the College Football Playoff this year and will still be relevant. Teams will be jumping out of their skin to get after them a little extra because they think they are too confident. Coaches will up the passion because they believe they deserve the attention and eyeballs that Coach Prime and Colorado demand. Like Coach Prime said, he is analyzed different and his wins are measured differently. One thing is for sure though. Coach Prime is building something at Colorado and as an analyst, I donโ€™t think we should be trying kick him and his team down because they are confident and believe in themselves. They are great for College Football because they are different. Different might make people uncomfortable, but that doesnโ€™t mean itโ€™s wrong. Here is our full First Take segment together where Paul Finebaum speaks his mind and I speak mine too.

Up to 40% of the total $STAR supply will be burned over 3 game seasons ๐Ÿ”ฅ But why would we burn $85 Million worth of tokens? Find out below ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ Players vs. Investors Most web3 gaming tokens underperform in the long run. The core issue is a conflict of interest between players and investors. Investors buy tokens anticipating game success, while players often exploit the in-game economy and dump tokens. As a result, web3 games relying on endless airdrop seasons are experiencing bad price action. In the long term, the token dilution is simply unsustainable. ๐Ÿช‚ Airdrop to onboardโ€™em all! Letโ€™s make it clear: airdrops are the biggest advantage of web3 games over web2 behemoths with much bigger budgets for user acquisition. Airdrop is the mechanism that allows onboarding thousands of players in anticipation of financial reward. The challenge is to do it right. ๐ŸŒŸ What makes StarHeroes different? In our opinion, the key is to take advantage of the airdrop mechanism during the initial stage of the go-to-market strategy, make users addicted to the game (which requires it to be fun๐Ÿš€), and then ensure they stay: 1๏ธโƒฃ No more season airdrops โŒ Although StarHeroes provides 1.5% of its total supply for participants of Season 1, we do not plan to rely on endless token dilution. In StarHeroes, Season 1 will be the final airdrop season. 2๏ธโƒฃ Time for Play-to-Burn ๐Ÿ”ฅ Moreover, to make the token deflationary, weโ€™re introducing the innovative Play-to-Burn mechanism: ๐Ÿ”ป Up to 40% of the total supply from the locked DAO Warchest and Decentralized UA pools will be burned ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ”ป The burning ratio depends on player activity including the number of games played, killed opponents, etc ๐Ÿ“ˆ In short, more players mean more deflation. This is a total shift in web3 gaming meta which is quite the opposite - usually the more players play the more token comes into circulation. 3๏ธโƒฃ Heroes Duty Web App impact Another deflationary measure comes from the Heroes Duty Web App. We've now surpassed 1 million $STAR deposited in the Hero Duty App, with 100% of them to be burned ๐Ÿšจ This makes our economy even more deflationary by removing tokens directly from the circulating supply. ๐Ÿ† Future Seasons & Rewards At the same time, you donโ€™t need to worry that the competition will end with the first Season. Once Season 1 is finished, Season 2 will kick off, where players will compete - not for $STAR tokens -but for another highly valuable web3 reward. Exact information about those exciting rewards will be provided at the end of the first season. ๐Ÿš€ New Chapter of Web3 Gaming StarHeroes is shifting the web3 gaming meta. With a deflationary token, innovative gameplay, and our $1.6M Decentralized Esports Tournament, StarHeroes will open a new era of web3 gaming. Be part of it!
