Knowledge đź’Ł by Doug Castleberry
If something feels off, say it. Don’t hope people notice, text them, pull them aside, ask for the 30 minutes.
Because the busy season is exactly when relationships get ignored. The coaches who seem “too locked in” usually aren’t trying to shut people out.
They’re just drowning in wins, losses, and pressure. So the move is simple:
• speak up early
• be flexible with timing
• ask for what you need clearly
That one conversation can save the relationship before it drifts.
Worth remembering.
