Leadership lessons I’ve learned.
-A mistake is a lesson not learned
-Skill>Talent
-Work ethic>Want ethic
-You have not taught until they’ve learned
-Leaders, 1) Accomplish the mission and 2) Take care of their people
-Mastery is an ever onward almost
-Failing 🚫= Failure
I haven’t talked much about this here.
Over the last few years, I’ve been writing a book on leadership under pressure.
It came from coaching, teaching, and watching where people struggle when things are not clean.
The Power of And is out now.
It’s about holding standards and empathy at the same time.
Leading without shortcuts.
Staying steady when the middle gets uncomfortable.

No. 9 Estacada 24, No. 4 Stayton 14
OUR FIRST BIG UPSET OF THE SEASON ‼️
Estacada avenges their playoff defeat to Stayton, going on the road and making a STATEMENT this evening. The Rangers defense was ELECTRIC ⚡️

4A FB Score 🏈👀
FINAL
No. 9 Estacada 40, (C) Pendleton / Nixyaawii 16
The Rangers look impressive on the road, establishing their physical presence early to down the Buckaroos 👊🏼
Since losing their starting QB for the season, Estacada has slowly started to turn it around. With a system and coach like Andy Mott, they could be a tough out in the playoffs ‼️

@CoachTManes Even in college, teaching is still teaching. Kids are still kids. If going from doubles to trips radically alters your defense, that’s a huge problem. Trying to have checks for everything is nonsense. That’s how offenses trap you.
@CoachTatum90 If your defense requires whole sale changes because of a motion then your defense has problems. If the call/front/blitz/coverage have to change, it wasn’t a good call to begin with.
Either kids haven’t been taught the how and why enough or your call is way too rigid. Or both.
Sean Miller said, "The standard is the standard."
"That's not my job to please people. My job is to hold that f*** standard right here, and not ever, ever, ever give in to it."
Great teams set high standards and live to them.

All good defense is just creative problem solving. The coaches who've been good at solving problems in ways the players can execute will always be good at it.
I have a real gripe with the idea of “simplification” being a catch all solution in coaching. I think simplification is oftentimes a justification for poor pedagogy. I also have a major issue with the idea of high volume meaning complicated and low volume meaning simple. 1/
4A FB Top-10 Score 🏈👀
FINAL
#23 Estacada (1-5): 0
(C) LA SALLE PREP (5-1): 42
Even if Estacada is banged up, this is a statement win from the Falcons. Since their Seaside loss they’ve turned it around to look like a really solid football team 🔥
As for Estacada, a promising start to the season has been washed away. There will be a new champion in 4A this season.

I'm allergic to synthetic problems:
- Dysfunctional culture
- Toxic workplace
- No strategy
They tend to be a tangle of facts & emotions.
They exist because smaller issues went unresolved.
Problem-solve micro issues instead.
Stack small wins until success is your diagnosis.
