WELCOME TO LESSONS FROM THE SIDELINES
Glad you’re here.
I’m Brent. A long-time football coach, business/leadership guy, dad, and someone who’s spent most of his life around teams, locker rooms, and spending long nights on cold sidelines through the end of November (I'm Canadian...we wrap things up a bit early up here to not die of exposure... stories and survival tips to follow) every year, wondering why we do this to ourselves and remembering exactly why.
This community is simple:
A place for athletes, parents, coaches, business types, and football families to share stories, learn from each other, and talk about the stuff that actually matters- confidence, toughness, growth, setbacks, leadership, team culture, and real life.
If you’re looking for drama or politics, you won’t find that here.
If you’re looking for honest conversations, a safe place to ask "stuff", share stuff, get practical tools, and a community of supportive, knowledgeable folks, you’re in the right place.
As this community grows, we need your help. (no running lines or anything, just a bit of sharing with the group to help us gain momentum.
How to get started
1. Introduce yourself. Share stuff like:
• Who you are
• Your role (parent, athlete, business pro, coach, etc.)
• Your team or level
• A win, a challenge, or a story (funny, introspective, cathartic, exasperating... whatever gets you sharing) that you are willing to share with us... Bonus points if it's about football in some way.
Post in #introductions.
2. Jump into the weekly threads
As we build, you’ll see regular:
• Lessons From the Sidelines
• Parent Spotlights
• Athlete Shoutouts
• Ask-a-Coach
• Film or play discussions
Comment. Ask questions. Make requests or suggestions. Share. This only works if people talk.
3. Check your tier benefits
Depending on your level, you’ll have access to training posts, parent guides, tools, workshops, and more. The content will take some time to build, so upgrade anytime if you want the deeper stuff.
What this community is about
• Building tougher, more confident athletes...and some healthy bragging about your kid's latest 100-yard rushing game, or the fact that they made the varsity team after 2 years of work, or demonstrated amazing resilience after a setback...etc!
• Supporting parents (because most of you are figuring this out on the fly, Lord knows we had to)
• Helping coaches develop their players and themselves
• Talking straight about leadership, accountability, growth, and how it can be transferred from the field into whatever career is chosen.
• Celebrating wins, big or small.
• Learning from real stories, real people who have lived it, not theories
That’s it.
If you’re a good human with a love for the sport (or a love for someone with a love for the sport) and who wants to learn from and help others, you’ll fit right in.
Welcome to the team. Let’s get to work.
