Dr. Teri McCambridge, Baltimore‘s Top Sports Doctor
This is Coach Phil Tran. I am a firm believer that a serious strength coach, and even a serious sport coach, in the schools and in the private sector must develop and nurture a network of allied professionals in athletic training, physical therapy, and sports medicine. This is important for the professional development of a coach and for the benefit of the athletes a coach serves. I am fortunate to have a solid referral network of medical professionals from whom I can learn and to whom I can refer athletes who need medical care. Here is a brief conversation I had with Dr. Teri McCambridge, Baltimore’s top sports doctor, back in November of 2019.

One In Christ
Your opponent is not your “enemy.” It is self-serving, self-aggrandizing, and narcissistic to beat your chest when you read Bible passages that talk about defeating the enemy and apply it to your opponent in competition. The enemy is Satan who brings despair, destruction, and death. That is what the Bible is talking about when it is written that belief in Jesus Christ will defeat the enemy. It is through Jesus Christ’s bodily death and resurrection that we know that God is real and not wishful thinking. It is belief in Jesus that will defeat death and bring us to everlasting life...

No Push Ups For Dropped Balls
This is Coach Phil Tran, championship-winning high school football coach and award-winning strength coach. I do not assign push-ups for dropped balls. Push-ups improve your strength, not your pass-catching skills. No amount of push-ups alone will make a player catch better. A player who drops a ball in practice needs more practice catching footballs. I will identify why the player dropped the football and work with the player one-on-one during some down time in practice or after practice to improve catching skills. It makes so much more sense, but for the fact that football coaches historically have been conditioned to think otherwise. That is to believe that fear of physical punishment will force players to perform better. Perhaps it is not fear that players need, but additional instruction to improve skills and boost confidence. This applies to any skill performed in any sport. Additionally, push-ups are a healthy, life-long activity. They should be performed to improve health, physique, and strength. They should not be associated with punishment and negative experiences. Your players need instruction and confidence, not fear. Subscribe to my YouTube channel at PhilTran22.

The Most Important Assistant Coach
This is Coach Phil Tran, championship-winning high school football coach and award-winning strength coach. Let us say you have been hired as a Head Football Coach. Who would you consider to be your most important Assistant Coach? In filling out your staff, who do you prioritize? There are lot of good answers here and your situation may vary due to needs, loyalties, and practicalities. In my opinion, the most important Assistant Coach is your Strength Coach. A new Head Coach should prioritize the hiring of a qualified Strength and Conditioning Coach. Offensive and Defensive Coordinators work primarily on one side of the ball and focus on scheme. Special Teams Coordinators work with a mixture of offensive and defensive players. Position Coaches work primarily with their position groups and focus on fundamental skills. However, the Strength Coach will work with every player in the program of all grade levels year round. Besides the Head Coach, only the Strength Coach touches all players in the program of all grade levels year round for the entirely of a player’s high school career. The right Strength Coach for the program will enforce, extend, and enhance team culture. We also have to mention the obvious. The right Strength Coach will be critical for athlete development, athlete retention, and injury prevention which will all translate to a better athlete experience and, hopefully, more wins. Especially at the high school level where qualified strength coaches are in short supply, you can never have too many certified strength and conditioning specialists on staff so long as everyone knows their role and can fill in whenever and wherever needed. Having coached other girls’ and boys’ sports outside of football at the high school and club level, I would maintain that the strength coach is also the most important assistant coach of any sport. Football is a collision sport with unavoidable collisions happening on every play so the weight room will be the reality for the totality of a football player’s career. Other sports that require a ton of specialized skills and technical precision without the unavoidable collisions on every play such as baseball, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, and softball, have gotten away at the high school level without lifting weights. Such athletes who go on to the next level after high school are behind the curve because weight lifting is certainly the reality for every sport for men and women at the college level and beyond. Sport science proves that weight lifting will give any athlete a cutting edge on the field, court, or ice. It would make sense to start lifting early and often regardless of what sport the athlete is playing. If improved performance is not enough of a motivator to get athletes in the weight room, perhaps a pretty physique would do the job. Good looks are a natural byproduct of weight lifting for better sport performance. I believe the Strength Coach is the most important Assistant Coach. Your priorities will vary based on needs, loyalties, and practicalities. Let me know what has been your experience in the comments. Please like, share, and subscribe.

Only Losers Complain About Officiating
Only losers complain about officiating. This is Coach Phil Tran, high school football, hockey, and strength coach and championship and award winner. Bad officiating happens. A sporting event is played between humans and is officiated by humans. Both teams along with officials will make errors. Can your team make the necessary adjustments to overcome bad calls? Is your team good enough so that you never have to be put in a spot where officiating can decide a game in the first place? A rule I impose on myself and on my players of any sport I coach is this. We never complain about officiating. Only losers complain about officiating. Have you ever heard a coach complain about officiating after a victory? I sure haven’t. We all have heard countless coaches complain about officiating after a game, but what is the commonality that links them all together? They lost. Only losers complain about officiating. Don’t be a loser. Stop complaining about officiating. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/PhilTran22?sub_confirmation=1 .

2 - Work where you vacation. Vacation where you work.
Work where you vacation. Vacation where you work. This is Phil Tran, championship and award-winning high school coach. I was recently asked if I was looking forward to the break between summer workouts and football training camp. I said that football *is* my vacation. I am just trying to make it through break so I can experience my real vacation…and vocation. If you coach athletes of ages 6-18 of any sport at the school or club level, the work has to be done from a place of inspiration, influence, and impact. You are here to teach sports skills competently, but you are also here to impart life wisdom, facilitate relationship building, and provide a memorable childhood experience for young athletes that will be a source of joy and inspiration for the rest of their lives long after they stop playing. If you are counting your hours as a coach to calculate how much money you are making per hour to coach, you are coaching for the wrong reasons. If you are making enough money from all sources overall to handle family responsibilities and enjoy life, does it really matter how much time you are working on your coaching job on site and at home if you truly believe what you do is your God-given calling? Earnings per hour is an irrelevant statistic for the individual who is doing the Lord’s work. In a broader sense, this is true for any profession. If you are good at what you do, you enjoy what you do, the market needs your expertise, and you are paid for your expertise, you are living the good life. Yes, I do believe in the importance of rest and recovery. I have nothing against taking personal time off. If you need a break before the start of a sports season, I support that. Still, I work where I vacation and I vacation where I work. Football is my vacation. I was just trying to make it through the break between summer workouts and football training camp so I can experience my real vacation. Yes, I will say the same thing when it is time to transition from football to hockey later in the year. Hockey is my vacation. I won’t need a break. I will be on the ice coaching girls’ varsity ice hockey the very next day after our last football game! I believe every individual has God-given talents for a God-given purpose. Work becomes vacation when our passion and profession are aligned with our God-given talents and God-given purpose. That is called vocation.
