I recently had the opportunity to speak at the Texas A&M Women's Basketball coaches clinic. Coach Starkey and I talked about sharing the experiences and lessons learned from working with Coach Meyer and Coach Summitt.
One of Coach Meyer's best DVD in his series is one called "The Best Things I've Seen In Coaching", so we decided to steal his title. I tried to hit 12 bullet points on 10 Topics. Listed below are is the outline I used to talk about "Culture."
CULTURE--not the WHAT, but the HOW
- The "Hokey "Pokey"--Started every camp with the rookie coaches on stage in the alumni auditorium demonstrating along with the campers the concept of "Putting your wholeself in."
- No one looking for shortcuts.
- Appreciation of the past, anticipation of the future.
- Eliminate bad basketball, be fundamentally sound, be tough and smart
- Players can recite our vision and what we represent
- Team vs Bunch of players running around in the same jersey
- Six things generally make 80% of the difference-->Seek, Study and Go To Work On
- NBA--Next Best Action (actually Next Best Thought)
- Deserve--merit earned through hard work
- Daily choices--some conscious/ some unconscious..but every choice affects the team
- What's Us vs What's Not Us-->Evil is anything that imperceptibly lowers our standards just a hair
- We get what we Expect, Inspect & Accept
