Today was a great day here at New Hope! Through our partnership with The Interfaith FoodShuttle we were able to distribute fresh fruit & vegetables to over 70 families. A special shoutout to our Community School interns who played a key role in making this happen! @NHVoyagers
Yesterday we had a visit from the UNC Chapel Hill NPHC! They went into K-2 classrooms to read books centering Black history and shared their experiences of being collegiate scholars. Thank you so much for sharing your time with our students! #defyinggravity@NHVoyagers
Dan Quinn said, "Sometimes as coaches and leaders, you have to tell them the things they don't want to hear."
"I'm comfortable doing that because they know I come from a place that I care about them, I love them, and I want the best for them."
As players, be grateful when a coach tells you the truth because it shows you they care.
They tell you the truth because they believe in you and your potential.
โข They want what's best for you.
โข They care about you as a person.
โข They see what you're capable of, even when you don't.
Great leaders hold you accountable because they know it's the only way to help you grow into your best self.
It means telling the hard truths while showing empathy and belief in your potential.
Great Coaches Balance 3 Things:
1. Caring for you - Great coaches want what's best for you. They care for you as a person and believe in you and your potential. This is why they hold you to a high standard - they see what you can become, even when you donโt yet.
2. Having high standards - High standards set expectations. It creates clarity and direction about what habits and actions are expected. Great coaches set the bar high because they want the best for you, not because itโs easy. When someone believes in you enough to expect greatness, it inspires you to rise to the challenge.
3. Pushing you to grow before your comfort zone - Growth doesnโt happen without discomfort, and this is where development starts. Great coaches look to challenge you and develop you over time. This means expecting challenges, facing adversity, and refusing to accept the status quo.
Bottom Line: People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Leadership will always be a relationship business.
