Thoughts From The Road Recruiting

One of the things I enjoy about traveling is that it allows me some time to read and think about our program. Here are some random things that I have put in my notebook over the last few days:

1. The first step toward achieving greatness is defining greatness and committing to achieve it.
2. We need to regularly hold "NEEDS" meetings.
3. Demystify the game--it really is a simple game.
4. Emphasize the core values of our program.
5. Coaching isn't about knowing the game, it's figuring out a way to have the players do what we want.
6. Under pressure--our core personality wants to take over. Anxiety whispers different things to different people. To be effective as coaches we have to understand the anxiety monster and how to push motivational buttons.
7. Can't necessarily motivate others with what motivates us.
