Undeniable Truths (“Nothing great was ever achieved except by those who dared to believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance.”  Don’t have to field the best players to win  Don’t need the best coaches to win  Don’t have to ‘out scheme’ your opponents to win  Don’t have to play perfect to win You do need to expect to win, prepare to win, and have a winning attitude on your team. Coach Discipline and Toughness (Tough times don’t last---tough people do”}  Be intense and demand intensity  Be focused and demand concentration and attention to detail  Coach every snap—nothing is unimportant  Coach physical and mental discipline, expect it and reward those that exhibit it. Coach Intrinsic Motivation—Pride (T-E-A-M “Together Everyone Achieves More)  Build trust in player/coach relationships by being consistent and fair.  Get close to your players  Coach how you would like a son to be coached (TREAT THEM LIKE THEY ARE YOUR OWN)  Communicate with your players—not at them; remember, listening is the most important part of good communication.  Have a vision, share it with them, make it their vision Coach Confidence (Sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.”}  Don’t coach caution into good players  Be organized {meetings and practice}  Have a plan—always  Coach from a high expectation level  Be positive  Confidence comes from consistency  Confused players don’t play well—just cautious Football should be fun (The floggings will continue until morale improves.”)  Enthusiasm breeds enthusiasm  Enthusiasm starts with you

 Consider ways to make drills competitive and interesting while getting done what needs to be done  Reward the players that exhibit what you want  Winning is fun---losing is not As coaches we want to continually work to make a winning attitude a habit
