      Creating character-based team cultures… Providing a blueprint for team leadership… Training coaches for excellence and significance…

      Developing confident, tough-minded, fearless competitors…

      Coaches can change more lives in a year, then most people will in a lifetime. Billy Graham

      Have a great year - change lives!!

      Energy flows where attention goes. If the majority of your attention during practice or games is on mistakes then don’t be surprised if you athletes are focused on avoiding mistakes. If you want a fearless and high energy culture, keep your focus on positive progress, getting better, quick recovery from any mistakes and finding solutions, teaching better and getting on with the next play.

      Coaches can be very strong, direct and decisive with athletes as long as you truly care about them. An oppressive, uncaring coach may like what he is doing but the athletes seldom do. The purpose of leading is not to serve your own agenda.

      In thirty years of coaching North Carolina basketball, I never made a single decision based on what I thought the critics would say afterward. Dean Smith

      Execution is the realization of focus and effort during preparation. Purposeful practice is the most important factor in distinguishing the best from rest.

      When an athlete is really struggling, coaches and parents need to practice a combination of reality, tough love, confidence building and gentleness. The goal is to restore them and teach them to restore themselves.

      Coaches… Strive for excellence. Learn to let go of perfection but NEVER allow yourself or your players to accept anything less than maximum effort and attitude.

      Maintaining Team Unity

      • Develop clear team standards and covenants

      • Have a blueprint for team leaders - train them, empower them so the team has multiple leaders and voices

      • Keep the team focused on the team vision

      • Maintain healthy communication

      • Resolve conflicts quickly

      • Confront negative talk, gossip and back biting that undermine unity and put it to an end

      • Maintain a high level of discipline - no double standards

      Coaches… Recognize what you don’t have and build it. Recognize what is not right and fix it. Recognize what you do have and be thankful.

      We respect our opponents and the officials - if we don’t, we won’t have any. Action statement from the core covenant Class. Madras HS Baseball.

      From Coach Wooden’s Strategies for Happiness…

      Promise to be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

      Few things can compare with a player/coach relationship done well. The work, the common goals, shared vision, mutual shouldering of emotions that come with both winning and losing that can’t be found in many places in life.

      One of Coach Wooden's great philosophies… Do your coaching in practice and then let your players play. Use half time and time outs for instruction and then do not distract them during the game

      Be aggressive - If you are going to bite butts with a bear, you better get the first bite. - Bum Phillips

      Excellence is never an accident. It requires a clear, intelligent vision, intentional action, sincere effort and choosing the hard right over the easy shortcut. The culture of your program is the leader's personal signature. It tells people who you are and what your stand for.

      Promise to give so much time improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others. - Coach Wooden

      Sufferin' is good for you kid, as long as you survive. - Harvey Dorfman's Dad

      Roles and Successful Teams…

      • Determine the roles that are necessary for the team to succeed

      • Explain what that the roles are and why they are all important to the team

      • Get every player to understand, accept, embrace, fulfill and grow their roles for the benefit of the team

      • Place the right team members in the right roles

      • Realize and emphasize that all roles can change during the season

      • Allow, encourage and assist individuals to grow within their role(s)

      • Give individuals freedom to create new and better ways to do their job

      Every man knows how to do 3 things… 1) drive without directions, 2) cook a steak and 3) coach afootball team. - Bear Bryant

      The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon

      NO ENERGY VAMPIRES ON THE BUS. He describes energy vampires as those people who drain energy from the team. They will suck the life out of you, your goals and vision if you let them. Leaders need to be strong enough either change these people or remove them from the bus. You cannot allow negativity on your bus.

      Do sports build character? It depends on the coach and the parent.

      Athletes and coaches who spend too much time worrying and using negative self
