  • Pete Carroll: Learn Your Learners

    Pete Carroll is ultra competitive. It paid off for him. 

    He's become one of the most successful coaches in the history of football. He is one of four head coaches in to win a college football national championship, and a Super Bowl.

    Carroll credits much of his success 

    to relationships with players. He details all that in his book Win Forever: Live, Work, and Play like a champion. 

    He says it  begins with being a great teacher. 

    “One of the most important principles in our approach to being effective teachers,” he wrote. “Is to strive to develop a deep understanding of each individual student or player. Every player in our program is a unique individual from a specific background.”

    “There's an extraordinary value in knowing your people and it's worth your time.”

    Carroll calls this approach “learn your learners.” He claims that he and his assistant coaches learn all they can about their players including how they speak and dress and their interests. They learn about their friends, and their families. He says they need to know how their players react in their comfort zones and outside of them. The staff shares these observations with each other.

    “A teacher, coach or manager who knows his learner is able to accurately communicate in a manner that best suits that learner, and the more effectively a leader can communicate his or her expectations, the better the results.”
