Jr Growlers

Raising athletes is great, but raising a disciplined young man is the real goal 🙌
"I love to be coached." 🏀
Sometimes the most intense moments on the sideline are the ones filled with the most belief. During this past weekend’s D1 NCAA Tournament game, Maryland Head Coach Brenda Frese was caught in a viral moment with freshman Oluchi Okananwa.
While it looks intense, Coach Frese was delivering a clear message: "I believe in you, but you’ve got to want this moment."
She understands that when a coach is "on you," it’s because they see a level in you that you haven't reached yet.
That’s what we call "hard coaching." It’s built on a foundation of trust. The result? A 17-8 run to start the 3rd quarter.
Though #5 Maryland ultimately fell to #4 North Carolina, this lesson in regrouping and responding is exactly what we strive for at the Jr. Growlers.
They grow up so fast but they will always be little kids in our eyes 💙
