High School football Coach... Career in teaching and coaching...Tech Grad... Go Jackets!

[Scott Wachenheim @CoachSWach]

Reflections from a retired Head Football Coach who started 6 - 38, kept his job, then won a conference championship and was named national coach of the year.

Continually communicate the vision.
Live the vision.
Remain faithful despite tough times.
Over Promise in order to Over Deliver
Love unconditionally!

Lose or win always show your team how they are moving forward to fulfilling the vision.

Listen. You never know where a good idea will come from. Boosters parents players administrators all they want is for you to listen to what they have to say and respond in a manner that reflects that you appreciate their interest in your program.

Evaluate, recruit, retain and develop.

Catch players and staff doing things right. Nothing is more motivating than encouragement and praise.

Limit corrections to things that are critical. Correct the critical. Fix the fixable.

Do the little things. Make sure your players go to class. Go to other teams sporting events. Etc etc

Actively seek out people essential to the program to visit with even after a loss. President, Athletic Director, and boosters.

Maintain contact with players’s parents. Give them encouraging news to keep them motivating their kids to continue to develop and improve and be a positive part of the program.

Coach for an audience of one. Be concerned with God thinks about you not what others think about you.

Don’t stop believing. Your positivity must overcome the negativities that others are putting into your players lives. Be a Tigger the world has enough Eeyores.

Stay the course. If you keep going forward, even if it’s in the wrong direction, you will eventually end up at the destination. However, if you keep changing courses, you will end up in the middle of nowhere.

Remove all sarcasm. You may think it’s funny, but to the players and people most connected to the program, it is not. There are better ways to get the message you need across.

You impact more people with the way you handle adversity than the way you enjoy victory.

Chesney on Thursday said good football players can’t be “bad at life.” I asked OC Dean Kennedy about it.

“If you’re going to be bad in the classroom, you’re going to be late for academics, we can’t trust on third and 7 to run the correct route. … You have to attack everything.”

“All year we have been saying the talent is our floor but our character will determine our ceiling.
And I am just so confident in their character, and that’s what determined how they played today.”

Talent makes you comparable.
Character makes you unforgettable.

Mike Macdonald shares the two key roles he plays as an NFL Head Coach.

Chief Alignment Officer
Chief Reminding Officer

A head coach's job is about ensuring everyone knows the following: Who we are, how we do things, and what we will and won't tolerate.

If you don’t define where you’re going, someone else will. If you don’t reinforce and remind people of what matters, drift takes over.

Vision sets the destination. Standards keep everyone on the road.

Without both, you just have a group of talented people pulling in different directions.

With both, you get a team.

Every single off-season there is very average athletes who start taking their Strength and Speed Training seriously…

A year later they become one of the most productive players on their team.

This happens every year. Athletes… this could be you! But it starts now.

HS Strength & Conditioning simply defined - you get out what you put in.

Don’t show up - no improvement

Show up and go through the motions - some improvement

Show up and put in work consistently for years - you’ll unlock physical capabilities you never thought you’d have

[Greg Olsen @gregolsen88]

Dear young athletes- keep this photo saved to your phone and show the next person who says you have to focus on one sport in HS.

The amount of kids I’ve heard say “I can’t risk getting hurt” or “my coach won’t let me” drives me crazy.

You get one shot to be a HS athlete.

“Our hardest workers are our best players. It’s not fake. Our best players are our hardest workers. Go out and watch them practice and it’s like that everyday. That’s the standard. So if you’re not up to that standard with the effort matching what our best players do, you’re not going to be around here very long,” Dan Campbell
