Janet uses her platform to grant wishes for children through the Make-A-Wish Foundation and supports other philanthropic activities throughout communities.She recently created INPact Academy which includes the DRIP Program, Youth Coaching and Life Skills Programs, and speaks with many audiences from a variety of stages on the power each of us has to "Be A Drip that Rips and Not A Drop That Plops," showing students and adults that the choices they make casts an intention to an outcome. What excites her most, are the stories she hears and shares in interviews with kids, adults and families throughout the world on the positive INPact they are making through kindness, compassion and connection.Janet lives in Long Island, NY with her husband Jack, and their children, Michael, (20) and Katelyn (18) and has blended a beautiful family as a stepmom of 3 (now adults) and is a proud "GraGra" of 3 grandchildren. Janet grew up with a passion to work with children and received a BS in Elementary Education and a Master's in Business.She truly believes that we are all here on purpose for a purpose and is excited to see all teens unwrap their personal gifts and continue to share them with the world through the new experiences they create and encounter.This interview is extracted from a Facebook live I did with Janet within my private group: Youth Leadership Development.Be careful what you wish for, the power of the thought. Janet describes how what you think about you bring about. Through her summer camps she has seen the transformation of kids developing from being shy to more outgoing and confident.This prompted her idea to use these experiences to create a difference in the world. (I love Janet's energy and enthusiasm, don't you?)In 2014 Janet hosted a week long Pasta swim - yes, swim in 400 lbs of spaghetti!!This was inspired by the loss of Robin Williams and the role of a doctor that he played in the movie Patch Adams where he treated the patient, not the disease. It was from this program that Janet created the "Drip program" which works on the basis that when you a drip falls it creates a ripple effect of energy that can be felt world-wide.Energy creates dopamine in the brain which makes you feel happy and this energy is then released into everything you do. The drip creates this positive energy.Kids have so much power in them and today's youth truly are going to be the ones who will change the world. They want to be seen, heard, and know that they matter. This led to the INPact academy. The energy was growing and becoming contagious. Janet shares some amazing examples of what kids have done to help give back to others by using the drip effect to create massive ripples.One kind act has a compounding effect so make a conscious effort to follow this every day. It is important that we continue to encourage this thought process as kids become teenagers so that it becomes a habit that will be taken into their adulthood.The negative drip, is the drop that plops. When a drop plops into sludge it cannot ripple. There are always going to be those people who drop rather that drip so we need to be intentional about maintaining the drip effect.A drip can be a small act, even something as innocent as a smile which we all can do. Even when wearing masks at the moment a smile shows in your eyes.You can connect with Janet on Facebook or through her website.Contact me if you would like to chat more about how I can help you to maximize your potential and do what you love to do every day.We are here to Develop Tomorrow's Leaders Today and we need your help to make this dream a reality!

Throughout that time, he also served as a speaker and development leader for Higher Level Sports, a father-son basketball camp my dad founded and directed throughout the Midwest. He recently authored a book- The LENS. Travis' explanation of the book: "Studying, writing, and developing this game plan have given me a chance to clarify for myself the sports parent I want to be. I hope it will help you clarify who you want to be, too. And even though nobody's perfect in this area, I do hope each of us can see clearly that there's no greater opportunity to prepare our kids for success than the one we have through sports. I want each of us to recognize that opportunity, and use it to build strong, committed, confident leaders in this world."

Excellence then is not an act but a habit' - Aristotle What can coaches learn from the military? The military isn't about yelling and screaming. It's about building teams and achieving peak performance. Team warm-ups A little bit of static stretching is OK, but focus is warming up the muscles through dynamic stretches. Foam rollers are inexpensive and a great tool Teaching Skills Constant blocked practices vs. random variable drills The memory and skill sticks better when allowing the athlete freedom to think during a drill vs. predetermining for them exactly what they should do Fun Games to teach skills HORSE - They play horse-like game, but use letters LAX. First player makes shot, then everyone follows. Mental toughness Mental toughness cannot be turned on/off. Weave it into your practice plan. Every task/drill need to incorporate it. How do you relax? How do use imagery? Have deliberate discussions throughout practice. If 50 to 80% of the game is mental - are you practicing it? Culture Have a written coaching philosophy Core values will keep you from bouncing from hot topic to hot topic and a flavor of the day Establish team standards and team goals From me you can expect... From you here is what I expect... Be careful to not give false praise - if they don't deserve it, don't falsely praise them, it will make your words mean less Copy of Mike's philosophies Connecting with and impacting kids Mike worked with an athlete who gained a great deal of self-confidence, mostly through Mike just taking an interest in him The one that got away Mike saw a young athlete not giving her all and he didn't say anything about it - she ended up getting hurt, he regrets not mentioning it Favorite book/quote Book: The Mentor Leader by Tony Dungy Book: Inside Out Coaching by Joe Ehrmann Quote: 'We are what we repeatedly do.

How to measure your success when coaching young athletes.

At younger ages, athletes are more malleable and absorbent to coaching. It is a crucial time during which the true potential of an athlete can be realized, or possibly repressed. Coaches have an enormous degree of influence on their athletes during this developmental period and the effects of an inexperienced coach at this phase are often overlooked. In this podcast, Dr. Bhrett McCabe and MindSide Mental Skills Consultant, Meighan Julbert, MS discuss coaching during the formative years of tomorrow's elite athletes and the importance of effective coaching in youth sports.

Standards is a much more palatable word than rules 3 important standards for coaching: 1 - Standards for yourself 2 - Standards for your workplace/coaches 3 - Standards for your athletes Key 2 - Your Methodology/Philosophy What do you believe in? How do you believe in achieving this? Key 3 - Great coaches adapt To the unexpected. They are calm, controlled. Adapt to the generation you are working with: Listen better. Discipline. Communicate in their style: they want short bursts of information (they are the Twitter-generation.) Key 4 - Have great energy It all starts with you. You have to exude passion. People should look forward to seeing you. Key 5 - Interpersonal skills Respected. Likability. We are in the people business who play sports. Key 6 - The fundamentals Great coaches have teams that are great at fundamentals. Daniel Coyle in The Talent Code:  'Mastering the mundane.' World-class athletes are better able to handle repetition better than the next person.

Steve has a rule that the coaches don't coach their own kids, they share those duties so that no one has the stress of trying to coach their own child Parents You must set the expectations with the parents A parent meeting is a no-brainer Make sure you've let the parents know your background, especially if you're a volunteer coach Set expectations for playing time - is it all equal? Coach the parents on how to cheer - if they give conflicting messages it is very confusing to the kid. 'Cheer to inspire instead of cheering to instruct' Players Ask the players 'Why are you here?' Discuss their philosophy and the philosophy the team is going to have Create some glue to pull them together: A team name (that is different than your given team name) A team song A team cheer (Boston Celtics' championship team used 'Umbootu') Self-confidence - Unleashing fearless players Coach doesn't talk about winning with his players. He does talk about it with his coaches, but not with the players. A kid should never feel like it was their fault the team lost a game. Teach the kids: 'Always be surprised when you miss a shot (or strike out, or miss a tackle.)' "Fail miserably, but learn from it, then be surprised when it happens again" Don't use conditioning as a punishment. 'The harder you work in practice, the funner the games are.' You want the players to believe that their conditioning has a distinct purpose and challenge them to bring their best to it. Best team builders For basketball - takes 5 players on one side of the gym and 5 on the other, then puts 17 basketballs in the middle, and asks them to pass the balls and get all the balls going. It's great because they fail miserably at first and laugh about the struggle, but usually by the end of the year they start to get it The One that got away Listen to your assistant coaches and give them specific assignments during games so you can all catch different things going on Best borrowed/stolen idea 'If you're teaching 12 year-olds, and you treat them like 16 year-olds, they will play like 14 year-olds.'
