Tony Dungy on OverCoaching and UnderTeaching


Tony Dungy on the game being UnderTaught and OverCoached

“When you are a teacher, you talk when you teach. You don’t talk during the test. If you teach well enough you really don’t have to worry when the students are taking the test—they are prepared and can take care of themselves.”

Tony Dungy—most of the coaches I played for were high-energy guys who tried to control everything that happened on the court or field. They left no doubt that they were in charge, calling every play, reacting to every close call and generally coaching every minute of every game.
A coach that teaches actions are reinforced during the games. His belief that he was a teach, that he is teaching the players how to play the game and understand the game; to be able to think for themselves on the court.
