Coaching is more than just a job; it’s a calling that demands both heart and skill.

But what separates a good coach from a truly great one?

Here are the 10 Traits that define the best coaches.

1: Relationships First - Great coaches, first and foremost, care about their players. They work hard to build positive relationships with all players. They know relationships are the heartbeat of great teams.

2: Clear Standards - The number one job of a coach is to build culture. Culture is: What coaches allow, what coaches emphasize, and consistent follow-through every day. Great coaches have clear standards and focus on maintaining these every day.

3: Emotional IQ - Great coaches, get it. Great coaches have “with-it-ness.” Great coaches can read the room, read their team, and connect with many different people. They have high emotional intelligence.

4: Self-Awareness - Great coaches, know thy self. They know their strengths and weaknesses and try to fill these gaps with great assistant coaches.

5: Excellent Communicators - Bringing a group together to achieve a common goal is challenging. Clear and concise communication is critical. Great coaches are master communicators.

6: Mindset - Great coaches operate with a growth mindset. This mindset becomes part of the program's culture. It is a mindset that we can always get better. There is no such thing as failure. And it is a focus on the process.

7: Master Teachers - Great coaches are Master Teachers. They can simplify the complex. They can provide clear and concise feedback to their players. Coaches are Master Teachers.

8: Healthy Competitive Mindset - Great coaches are competitive. They have to be. But it needs to be a healthy, competitive spirit. It cannot be a win-at-all-costs mindset. Great coaches embed the life lessons and struggles learned along the way.

9: Humble - Great coaches know that humble wins. They can instill confidence in their players while keeping them humble. It is a critical balance in highly successful coaches and teams.

10: Build Leaders - Great coaches focus on building positive team leaders. Building culture is the number one job of a coach. Building player leadership has to be number two. Great coaches know this. They have a leadership plan.

[Ball is Psych @BallisPsych]

Don’t practice just to practice.

Practice to prepare.
Practice to be great.
Practice to dominate.
Practice to get better.
Practice to separate yourself.

If you didn’t practice with a purpose, then you wasted a day, and champions don’t waste days.

Is this your Team Culture?

1. We over Me
2. Process over Prize
3. Serving over Self-Serving
4. Learning over Knowing
5. Positivity over Negativity
6. Encouraging over Ignoring

Culture WINS.
