BE A TEACHER
Coaching is teaching. What is the priority and
overriding concern of a teacher? It's the progress of
the student, not wins and losses
This is a simple and profound concept that you need
to embrace. When the coach treats the player as a
student, players and the team show tremendous
improvement.
Players do in games exactly what they do in practice.
Don't fool yourself. A remarkable pre-game speech
isn't going to suddenly light a fire that lasts the entire
game. This is not the answer.
The best way to motivate your players is: Teach them.
Players will respond if you teach them. And when
they notice that they have improved, this will yield
even more motivation.
The lesson here is simple: Treat your players like
students. Teach them. Help them improve. Make sure
they see that they are improving. Don't let
improvement slow down. Make sure they are always
improving and see the results.
