Great Coaches Map Out a Pathway to Success



                                                             
Do we have a process worthy of commitment from players and community? If we do, have we clearly communicated our priorities and emphasis? 

Style and substance matter. As a medical student, I got counseled by an intern who said, "from your writing I know that you know a lot. But you're not speaking up. You have to be more verbal." People judge us continually, just as we evaluate players. 




Who are we? What do we stand for? We need message discipline. Our culture and the character that comprises it stand without compromise. 

Carmine Gallo's Talk Like TED discusses 'message maps'. Does everyone in our program understand the message* ?
*Black Box Thinking means driven to self-evaluation and correction. 

How do we coach? How is our program perceived? 



Ask ourselves, how do we treat people? How do our players see us?



Excellent coaches inform and teach players how to improve. Outstanding coaches model that improvement themselves every day.
