You get the sense of the system immediately when you realize that every assistant coach and every player knows the plan and can articulate it and commit to it. I believe a coach is a loving guide. Coaching, in a word, is personal. It's one for all and all for one. A coach makes certain that everybody knows the team's mission and that everybody's there to help everybody else make the team win.
Nobody is in the dark as to their importance and value and ability to contribute.
You may not be in the limelight now, but your time will come and you have to be ready at a moment's notice. Communication by the coach is constant. I set out one day to list a thousand ways good athletic coaches motivate their teams. In no time, I'd listed over 200 ideas, most of which I'd rarely seen in a corporate climate. This is not the way it works in coaching.
