A FEW KEY POINTS IN DEVELOPING A PROGRAM

A COACH MUST BE A PROBLEM SOLVER, AS ATHLETICS IS A CONSTANT CRISIS. THOSE OF US WHO HANDLE IT BEST, ARE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL

EXPLAIN WHAT YOU WANT HEAD TO TOE

-EAM MEETING TO SET EXPECTATION

-WEIGHT ROOM / TRAINING ROOM / EQ ROOM / ACADEMICS / NUTRITION / FOOTBALL

-GOAL FOR PLAYERS TO EXECUTE THE EXPECTATIONS

-DISCRETIONARY / OFF DAYS

-TEXTS / CALLS / TEAMWORKS / VIDEO / PICTURES / NOT ALWAYS ABOUT TRAINING

-WEIGHT ROOM BOARD / LOCKER ROOM BOARD / FUELING STATION / ACADEMICS

-KEEP EMPHASIZING AND RE-EMPHASIZING WHAT YOU WANT

FORMULATE GENUINE RELATIONSHIPS

±EAT WITH PLAYERS

±BE IN THE LOCKER ROOM

±INTERACT

±SPLIT STAFF TO BE IN CHARGE OF PLAYERS

±SWITCH GUYS UPS

±WALK BY A GUY IN THE HALL TALK TO HIM

±OFFICE ALWAYS OPEN

±PLAYER COMES IN YOU STOP WHAT YOUR DOING AND INTERACT

±DON’T ALWAYS TALK SPORTS / TRAINING

±PLAYERS KNOW IF YOUR FAKE!

±DON’T RELY ON TEXT OR OTHER FORMS OF TECHNOLGY- USE IT!!! – BUT ALSO MAKE TIME FOR ONE ON ONE CONVERSATION

±RESULT = PLAYERS INVESTED / TRUST / ABLE TO MODIFY/WORK HARDER / EASIER TO COMMUNICATE

EVERYTHING IS ENERGY, YOUR THOUGHT BEGINS IT, YOUR EMOTIONS AMPLIFIES IT AND YOUR ACTION INCREASES IT MOMENTUM
