New research co-authored by @Baghurst (in press, The Sport Psychologist): over 18 months in a UK high-performance gym, coaches sometimes delayed or softened difficult feedback. My take: athletes can handle the truth. Say it clearly, say it kindly, say it on time. #gymnastics

Amazing what can be accomplished by people on the same mission. Thanks for organizing and creating action steps. #onecourse #onecertificate
Something special happened at FSU today. Representatives from the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE), Florida Athletic Coaches Association (FACA), Florida Coaches Coalition (FCC), Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA), and the Florida Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (FIAAA) all came together to discuss coaches' certification and training in Florida schools. We discussed the current challenges coaches face and, in conjunction with the Coaches' Tool Chest, proposed ways to improve coaching standards and training and to simplify the process for coaches and athletic directors. Much work is needed, but it starts with an agreement and understanding that change is necessary.

I enjoy these events and always come away as a better coach.
It's back! Join us on October 10th at FSU for a day of learning, networking, and activity. So many great speakers! Virtual options also available. athleticcoaching.fsu.edu/cli… @SirDowdy @Coach_Alameda @AndrewRamjit @mcgriff_tyrone @CToolchest

Parents check what training your coach has ……. I think you will be surprised and not in a good way!
I would say 90% of coaches have zero background related to youth development

"In simple terms, schools should expect that about half of their athletic staff may be gone within three years... The solution is not simply finding the next coach. The solution is building a system where good coaches and athletic directors can and want to stay."
Thanks to the @orlandosentinel for sharing some of my research on coach turnover in Florida. This data needs more coverage! orlandosentinel.com/2026/07/…

Thank you for sharing your insights!
Heading home from Cincinnati after speaking to Ohio athletic directors on practical ways they can help facilitate success for coaches and principals and superintendents. I also learned a lot and were given a tour of the university's new indoor football training facilities. Impressive! Thanks to Coaches' Tool Chest for recommending me as a speaker.

With summer for coaches, we must develop just as we expect our athletes to develop. I’m a better coach because of earning my Master’s in Athletic Coaching from @FloridaState! The faculty led by Dr. Tim @Baghurst is first class! Best investment I’ve made in coaching! Link below👇

Minimum training gets you a permit. Our training yields athletes a more prepared coach. There’s a difference. Athletes deserve a coach who works just as passionately as they do. We don’t believe minimum is a ceiling for training. #OneCourse #OneCertificate.

My “message to the coaching community is simple but powerful: find help, seek perspective, and keep learning. Coaching is too complex to navigate alone - and growth often begins with realizing what you don’t yet know.” Excerpt from my interview with Dr. Timothy Baghurst, Director of FSU COACH, in this edition of Trophaeum Magazine. @Baghurst @coachcodutti

“Currently, three research areas stand out to me: why coaches choose to use - or avoid - artificial intelligence; the psychology behind coaches swearing habits; and the lived experiences of coaches’ spouses who share in the demands of the profession.” My feature story on Dr. Timothy Baghurst, Director of FSU COACH, in this edition of Trophaeum Magazine. @Baghurst @HootensARFBall

The @FSUCoachClinic is next week!
If you can’t make it in person, there’s a virtual option to attend. @Baghurst and his team have put together a great lineup that’s beneficial for all coaches.
We have to start supporting those who support us without asking “WIIFM.” The only way we uplift the coaching profession in Florida is by uplifting each other.

There have been 124 vacancies for Head Football Coach positions in the state of FL this off-season! This is ridiculous! That is approx. a 20% turnover rate for the last calendar year. It is even worse for other sports!
