    A6: Our motto this offseason has been Disipline over motivation. U can do things when motivated, what happens when that leaves? #txhsfbchat

      Only a few minutes left ... last question ... Q6: how would your program be affected by people acting with (more) discipline? #txhsfbchat

    #txhsfbchat A4 you have to be connected, after the kids know you are plugged in and connected the plug in and connect

    I think it has always been difficult, but seems more intense today due to the instant connection/updates #TXHSFBCHAT

    A6 #txhsfbchat We could spend less time correcting BCD and more time connecting with kids to prepare them for life.

      A5: For coaches and players, negativity coming from people outside the program the second any adversity faces the team. #txhsfbchat
