Before his first 16U practice, Scotty sat down and journaled.
Inside Coach Comma, journaling is one of the habits we build into every player during the Family Huddle. It’s structured, guided reflection — where the player processes the wins, the frustrations, and the growth with intention instead of letting emotions run the show. It’s not a diary. It’s a performance tool. And when a 14-year-old uses it unprompted before a high-pressure practice, that tells you the system is working.
“Scotty (14) was invited by the director of his program to join the 16U National 3SSB team. An incredible opportunity for him to compete with bigger, stronger, and older players. What really stood out to me even more so than this opportunity, was how he prepared for it. Prior to his first practice, I watched him sit down at home and journal — something he learned through his work with Trey. He walked into that first practice confident and ready for any opportunity he was given.”
