As an AD, I remind our coaches that all the knowledge in the world about your sport does not matter if you cannot teach it or communicate it. Great coaches are not just experts in X’s and O’s, they are teachers, leaders, and communicators. Athletes do not need a coach who simply knows more, they need a coach who can connect, explain, motivate, and hold them accountable. If your players cannot understand it, trust it, or apply it, then knowledge alone has no value. The best coaches turn knowledge into growth, confidence, and ultimately wins.
Had our youth softball camp the last couple of weeks! Great turnout and a lot of fun with these future Trojan softball players! The future is bright! #ForHer
As an AD, I constantly remind our athletes that commitment is being someone your teammates can count on whether you play a lot or a little. It is showing up when it is not convenient and choosing your team over yourself. Everyone wants to win. Commitment is doing what it actually takes to win.
