Some WISDOM for Young Coaches.

I was a Head Coach at 26. A Principal at 33. I have been doing both for the last 11.

I have learned a lot about coaching and leadership.

Here are 9 of the most important things I have learned...

1: PLAYERS NOT PLAYS
In pressure situations, do not worry about plays. Focus on players. It is so easy to worry about a "play." In reality, players win. Get the ball in the "player's hand who will make the right "play."

2: LEARN the 20-40-60 RULE ASAP
The earlier you learn this as a coach, the better off you will be.

- In your 20's - you worry about what others think.
- In your 40's - you don't care what others think.
- In your 60's - you realize no one was thinking of you to begin with!

3: PLAY THE LONG GAME WITH CULTURE
Culture Wins. Culture is a long game, but culture is fragile. Culture is...

- What you Allow.
- What you Emphasize.
- Every Day.

Focus on your culture every day. Every decision you make defines your culture.

4: RELATIONSHIPS FIRST
Coaching is about managing and leading people. And leading people is always about relationships. Don't ever lose sight of this. Focus on people.

5: SIMPLICITY WINS
Can you explain your offensive or defensive philosophy in 8 words or less? You should. And your players should, too. Simple wins.

6: GIVE UP SOME CONTROL
As a young coach, I tried to control how we played. I coached BB like I coached FB, play-by-play. I have since learned to teach kids how to play and not try to control every movement. It is much more enjoyable for everyone, and success has followed.

7: FIND A GREAT MENTOR
I was lucky. I had a 30-year coaching legend as my assistant coach. His wisdom was priceless. One time, I had a sticky decision with a player/parent. I was grounded on principle. I was lucky to have my mentor.

8: CONNECT WITH COACHING COLLEAGUES
Coaching is hard. The skill set needed to do a good job is incredible. You are also on an island at times. Connect with your coaching colleagues on a personal level. The relationships are lifelong and priceless.

9: FAMILY FIRST
Don't lose sight of your time. Don't lose sight of your commitment. Always make time for your kids and family. Done right, raising kids in a coaching household has incredible rewards!

@Tyler_Conrad24 @Rocky_Football @GallatinRaptor Sorry dude, I'm a very mediocre rural football coach, not a college coach. I'm in no way affiliated with @Rocky_Football and thus you've received no offer from me, but hopefully there is a coach out there that has offered you for real! Congrats either way.

@craigroh Tighten your cleats...

[Coach Willson🏈 @Coach_Willson]

[Coach Willson🏈 @Coach_Willson]

Wow. Wow. Wow. Colorado and coach prime making TCU go three and out followed by a fast paced drive right to the end zone to start the season.

[Ben Stevens @BenScottStevens]

John Cook has been the head volleyball coach at Nebraska for 23 years.

He has won 4 national titles, made 22 NCAA Regionals, and won 650+ matches.

Yet, he’s probably never done the Tunnel Walk.

And the smile on his face shows how special tonight is.
