      Developing the Motor

      Jul 2, 2019

      If it takes no talent to hustle, why aren’t we seeing more of it? I am beginning to praise players too often for “hustling” and playing the game “hard” when that should be the norm. Baseball is a sport that requires effort to succeed and a “grind” me

      How to Take Your Coaching Skills Up a Notch

      Sep 1, 2018

      Are there any coaches or teachers in your background that you cherish and think of often? If so, I’d be willing to bet that they are from your youth—and not supervisors or managers from your work life. Even in companies that pride themselves on makin

      Proactive Coaching… What we do…

      Creating character-based team cultures… Providing a blueprint for team leadership…

      Developing confident, tough-minded, fearless competitors…

      Training coaches and leaders for excellence and significance

      Table of Contents

      Coaches

      Competitors

      Team Leaders and Leadership

      Parents

      Coaches

      Love it when coaches talk about their players like they were sons or daughters. Love it when you see a coach’s eyes sparkle or tear up when they think about their players. Love is present.

      Coaches…When a player asks, why? you should not automatically assume they are questioning your authority. Many young people have an inquisitive spirit, a different way of looking at the world or may be seeking a deeper level of understanding. How it is asked will be a tip off to intention. Relax, listen and respond with truth.

      Undisciplined teams don’t win championships… (a follow up to yesterday’s post)

      The best teams have coaches and players who are disciplined. They control their emotions, focus their attention and energy on things they can control, maintain strong body language and stay positive and determined. As a parent, it would be good if you could do the same.

      Great teams are excuse free… When you make an excuse it just transfers the responsibility. The only person who believes it is the person making the excuse. Excuses weaken you as a competitor and negatively impact your team. Competitors get stronger by taking responsibility. Compete booklet

      Counsel can come from the young as well as the old. Over 30+ years of coaching, I know I learned much more from my players than they did from me.

      Coaches and Parents… When athletes make mistakes at full speed, focus and attention - have unlimited patience, praise the effort, correct the skill and move forward. But no tolerance is necessary when athletes choose selfishness, poor sportsmanship, lack of attention or effort. Call it what it is… a violation of team covenants which requires consequences

      Coaches… In competition, winning is always the goal but it shouldn’t be our sole purpose. Our bigger purpose is to positively impact lives.

      Experts (or perceived experts) are held to a higher standard and accountability. Coaches and parents have a special responsibility to be professional with the use of their words in public, emotional, competitive situations with kids. The Power of Your Words DVD

      Rutgers…Coaches who rely on fear, insults, intimidation and ego aren’t really coaching. Real coaches honor the profession, the game and the athletes. Coaches are demanding without being demeaning.

      Staying on the theme of building confidence…

      Good coaches believe in their athletes. It is easy to believe in people after they have proven themselves. Coaches of Significance believe in their athletes BEFORE they are successful - they are life changers.

      Who is that person for your son or daughter? (Raising a Confident Athlete booklet)

      Who was that person for you?

      Emotional and mental roadblocks that Inhibit high performance in athletics

      Outside pressure to win

      Absence of joy

      Excessive criticism and yelling

      Sports as work and not play

      Poor adult mentors

      Coaches and Team Leaders…

      - Keep your goals simple and your team covenants clear

      - Help people understand their role and master their assignments

      - Accept nothing less than best effort while reducing practice errors

      - Strive for excellence in performance and team standards

      Almost everyone is in favor of high standards, expectations and rules for our student/athletes at the start of the season but too many parents want an exception when it turns out to be their son or daughter. Which lesson best represents your family… that normal rules don’t apply to us or that poor decisions have consequences? Own it, learn from it and move forward.

      Following the theme of reinforcement… The best competitors are realists and have developed a teachable spirit (the ability to take correction as a compliment). When a parent always tells their athlete that their performance was incredible it can make it difficult for the coach who is trying to get them to take correction and improve. If it is deserved, you can always praise effort and attitude.

      Coaches or leaders who use fear as their primary method of motivation, at the best can only hope for compliance. Full commitment always beats compliance. Lead in a way that people want to follow and put their heart in the mission. Booklet… Motivational Strategies for Coaches

      It is not the whip that makes men, but the lure of things that are worthy to be loved. - Woodrow Wilson

      Coach Brown, I just purchased some materials off your site as I am trying to better myself as a young coach. I normally coach youth football but right now I am helping out with youth basketball. I found myself in a situation tonight with questioning non calls from young officials. My question is should that be something to leave alone or say something when it happens. Just trying to figure out what's best, a little conflicted being in a smaller arena. Thanks for all the work and material you put out, I will continue to follow and work to be a better coach.

      Great question… As a young basketball coach I found myself doing the same thing. I realized that I was spending as much time focused on
