MY CORE COACHING VALUES I FEEL ARE ESSENTIAL IN ELITE SPORT & PURSUING YOUR PERSONAL GOALS

BUILD ON BASICS - “BOB”

  • Everyone has an idea - supplement - piece of equipment - I told you so - only if I listened to XYZ

  • Short Term Focus = “band aid” or “quick fix”

  • These are peripheral issues only - success is built on a solid foundation of:
    CONSISTENCY & QUALITY - of your DAILY COMMITMENT TO BASICS

IF YOU STAND FOR NOTHING YOU WILL FALL FOR EVERYTHING

  • What is your coaching philosophy and set of values based on your program management style - How will you Develop these over time?
    WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE?
    DO I NEED TO CHANGE MY M.O.?

  • Important to PROVIDE an environment so athletes & support staff take OWNERSHIP of the PROGRAM DIRECTION and CULTURE PARTNERSHIP.

  • Keeps you grounded from peer pressure - you’re not cool - distractions - party on -success (Important to have goals and the process clearly defined in achieving them).

  • GOALS > daily > weekly > monthly > yearly > review & change as required.

WHO YOU ARE & WHO THE PLAYERS ARE UNDERPINS EVERYTHING YOU DO

  • Performance

  • Integrity

  • Honesty

  • Sincerity

  • Humility

  • Discipline

  • Courage

  • Ethics/ Morals

 

IT’S NOT ALL WHAT YOU DO ........IT’S MORE OFTEN HOW YOU DO IT.

2 athletes the same on-field. The off field question I asked was: What was their view on a potential issue

  • A replied in a manner displaying team culture & values, honesty.

  • B replied in a manner that was not part of the culture we were trying to develop.

You then have some tough decisions to make, but the position is clear.
