You can lose a locker room without being a bad person.
Most coaches who lose kids never learned what NOT to do.
Embarrass a player publicly.
Coach players differently.
Let parents dictate your decisions.
When coachable players are held accountable, they understand it's for the good of the team and seek to learn from the situation.
Uncoachable players think they're being picked on and play the blame game when held accountable.
5 things I wish I knew as a first-year coach:
1. Culture shows up daily
2. Standards win
3. Relationships before plays
4. You are what you emphasize
5. Connect with parents before there’s a problem
The best coaches learn it before they make them.
