Jack Clark is one of my favorite coaches to study. He balances education, leadership, and coaching and articulates his values clearly. Add his extreme success at the National and International level and he is exemplary.
"Why guess when you can know?"
In the video, he describes the many dimensions to the position.
Leadership: "The ability to make those around you better." Clark believes that individual empowerment creates leadership and grows the team. Leadership is not based on rank.
You listen to Coach Clark and you know that you would run through that wall for him.
It's "SIMTLE" -
Selfless
Improvement
Merit-based
Tough
Leadership (everyone in the organization is expected to lead)
Efficient
