“Administrations win championships. Coaches win games… if you’re not totally into it and they’re not committed, you’re not winning. You just can’t.”

True at the high school level as well…

Leaders: your job isn't to change people.

It's to see and believe in who they could be at their best, help them to see and believe that, and empower them through support and challenge to become that version of themselves.

When you believe in them, you'll build them up.

One of the fastest ways to raise standards is to raise morale. When people feel valued, supported, and inspired, excellence follows.

If you're leading a team, remember:

- 90% of your team didn't hear you the 1st time
- 50% didn't hear you the 3rd time
- 10% never will

Clear communication requires repetition.

When you're sick of saying it, they start to hear it.

Do your job— not the job you wish you had.
Coach your Team- the other coach can handle theirs.
Find players that fit your Head Coach- not that fit your ego.
Praise your teammates - don’t bash them in the locker room.
Help create a solution- don’t instigate the problems.

Important! 🙌

Head coaches get the spotlight.

But assistant coaches are the backbone.

They set the tone, drive development, and often keep the team together.

Great programs don’t just have great leaders.

They have great assistants…

Strong culture requires strong relationships!

[Zac Bauermaster @ZBauermaster]

5 things principals should do every day:

1. Greet kids at the door as they arrive
2. Say good morning to every classroom (divide with APs if needed)
3. Be visible in the hallways
4. Spend time in the cafeteria
5. Greet kids at the door as they leave

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Leave them better than you found them.
