Stop using “hard coaching” as a scapegoat for the poor treatment of student-athletes:
-Discipline with diginity
-Be unapologetically demanding not demeaning
-Challenge w/ love
-Rule making is easy but building trust, respect and relationships is hard
-Help don’t hurt them
As a coach you have to coach up the talent you have. You have to make your good players great...Your average players good and your not so good players average. Any coach can coach talented athletes but the good coaches make each athlete a better player.
