    “The willingness to experiment with change may be the single most essential ingredient to success at anything” - Pat Summit. John Gordon’s book “the coffee bean” gives the notion that challenging situations can change us, or we can use the challenging situation to change our situation and ourselves.

  • 94- all of you is welcome here - See one, do one, teach one
    I want to provide environment for my teams, where they know that I’ll take the good parts, and the bad parts, the wins and the losses, the parts they’re proud of and the parts they’re not so proud of.

    When you pause a drill in practice, how long do you talk for? Time yourself next time and see if you can keep it under 30 seconds.  Doug lemon talks about 'aligned feedback' in his book the Coaches' Guide to Teaching, and it means that 'our words matter'. and you're going to hold your players accountable to the thing you paused the drill for. And ONLY that thing! This is hard to do, because we have to let a lot of other things go, but it's impactful and helps our players learn better.

  • 91- impactful halftime speeches - See one, do one, teach one

    A coaching colleague of mine from Key 5 told us that his most effective halftime speeches are the ones where he says nothing. His team could be playing better, so he walks in the locker room, stands by the board, and says nothing for three, four, five minutes.

    Once upon a time there was a guy who wanted to a paratrooper. So he got up in the military plane on his first day of training, and when it was his turn to jump, he froze. He told his instructor 'I'm too scared to jump' , and the instructor said to him, 'do you really want to be a paratrooper?' he replied 'more than anything in the world', and the instructor said back to him, "Do it scared". Confused, the prospective soldier looked at him. The officer said, I've seen hundreds of guys jump out of these planes...if you want to be a soldier, you have to be brave. you have to do it, even if you're scared." Knowing he was right, the soon to be soldier jumped, and went on to live his dream of being a paratrooper. He had to do it scared. So do we.
