Invested

I've watched Kevin Eastman's eight video DVD set from CoachingU. Why? I'm invested in becoming the best coach I can be. "Make the big time where you are." That doesn't mean winning championships in middle school. It means helping young people develop a great process that is sustainable during their lives. That's the WHY.



Notes from Eastman's presentation:

You need to add value.

  • Character - "we want character, not characters"
  • Commitment - what do you do when you don't feel like it? Commitment has no expiration date.
  • Discipline - "discipline yourself to be disciplined"
  • Focus - "attention to detail"
  • Loyalty - do you want to play on the team or for the team
  • Buy-in - are you 'all in' with the program
  • Sacrifice - success is a choice, price is what you must do to achieve
  • Resolve - 'the ability to come back and do it again'
