Read About Patrick Mahomes & The Value Of Playing Multi-Sports


Super Bowl-winning quarterback Patrick Mahomes is a rare breed of athlete, and the coaches at his Texas high school knew it. In addition to his performance on the gridiron, Mahomes was an elite pitcher for the Whitehouse High School baseball team. In 2014, his senior year, he threw a no-hitter with 16 strikeouts against current White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech.

About The Journal

The Coaching and Leadership Journal is in its ninth year of production. Started in the fall of 2011 by Dan Spainhour, the Journal is now being read by coaches, administrations and athletic professionals all across the country and even in Canada.  Our subscriber list includes some of the top coaches in the business. Jerry York, NCAA's all-time winningest hockey coach has been a subscriber for over five years. Two-time NCAA women's' soccer champion Mark Krirkroian of Florida State has been with us for six years. Leaders are realizing that for less than most people's monthly cable bills, they can get a year's worth of valuable information delivered right to their door and inbox that makes them better leaders and more productive people.

The mission of the Journal is to provide information that leaders need to read and to do so in a short condensed version. Each month, Spainhour and his team scour the internet, blogs, articles, and magazines for information that will make you a better coach, leader, and administrator.

Dan Spainhour on his Journal...

There is so much information out there and coaches/leaders are such busy people that it is hard to find time to sort through all of the clutter and determine the value of an article, blog, etc. I use my 37 years in the profession to evaluate what I think is beneficial and then I take the meat of the article and include it in the Journal. I know that leaders know how important it is to be readers it's just hard to find the time. That's why I started this Journal. Also, I believe that we comprehend better when we can hold what we're reading in our hands. That's why our Journal comes to you each month as both a printed Journal and a digital version which allows you to read it as a book and also have it with you no matter where you are.

This simple saying has been my motto for life since my early days of coaching. You see, at the end of the day you will exit this world the same way you came in it—by yourself. Therefore, it is so important to take care of yourself and not allow others to live inside your head. When I first started coaching, I wanted to control everyone and everything. Along about my third year as a head coach, one of my players was arrested for stealing a car. I was immediately placed in a no-win situation. The player was a promising college prospect.
