COST ASSOCIATED WITH LEADERSHIP

"Have to make hard decisions that'll negatively affect people you care about...

Be disliked despite your best attempt to do the best for the most...

Be misunderstood and not always have the opportunity to defend yourself."

~ Kirby Smart

"When you're on the field, play as if nothing else matters.

When you're off the field, remember that the game doesn't matter at all."

"That team has great potential."

For coaches, "potential" is a dangerous word.

- Why do some teams never seem to reach it?
- What holds them back?

Here are 8 Things that Hold Teams Back from Reaching their Potential.

1. TRUST
2. THE BLAME GAME
3. EXCUSE MAKING
4. SELFISHNESS
5. POOR TEAM LEADERSHIP
6. ENERGY VAMPIRES
7. TARDINESS
8. CLIQUES

Maximize your potential this season.

Always remember: Culture WINS and Leadership MATTERS.

Things I'm sick of hearing from my employees:

- Can I leave early today
- I'll be late in the morning
- My child is sick, can I rush off
- I've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow, is that okay
- I'm going to be late back from lunch, I've got some things to sort

I don't care.

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!
