What Taking Ownership Means

While working on some post season notes and ideas for our Spring notebooks. I came along this thought from Bob Ladouceur, football coach at De La Salle High School. In the book, "Where The Game Stands Tall", he discusses what taking ownership means. This one of our key teaching points as we work with our team and especially our seniors this Spring.
  • "Taking ownership means getting together as a group and saying, 'Look, on this play, we're going to do this. You can't come to us (the coaches) all the time because you are the ones playing the game, right next to each other. It doesn't matter what I know. It matters what the kid playing next to you knows. That's taking ownership. That's taking responsibility."
