Just thinking about some things to make you think

A few things to think about to make you think:

• Respect is earned not bought – What are you doing to earn respect? Are you being respectful?
• Knowledge & wisdom eventually win out over hype and promotion. Look for substance not glitz & glamour
• Coaching is special because of the impact you can have on lives of your athletes and the daily lessons you can learn from them
• I coached 23 years before I produced my first video – it took me that long to learn something that I could share
• I am an idealist. I dream of the way things should be and try to make it happen. Know your ideals & don’t compromise them.
• Knowledge without passion is wasted; people do their best when they are passionlessly engaged. Passion is high octane fuel
• There is no set formula for training; there are principles that are highly adaptive and adaptable
• Understanding context is essential, in fact context is king
• There are no new ideas, they are just old ideas repackaged
• I specialize in being a generalist
• Research & science are wonderful, but they must be tempered with practice and common sense
• Coaching is talking, listening, seeing, and doing. It is totally multidimensional. It is not about me, it is about we and us.
• Friendship is special, cherish your friends
