Quote
'There are three types of people in life: Those who watch things happen, those who make things happen, and those who wonder what happened.' - Tommy Lasorda
Coaching your own kids
Works best if you have an assistant coach, and you coach each other's kids
Cringe moment
Early on, Casey was too focused on winning
Teaching Skills
Drills need a clear:
Purpose
Process
Payoff
Be ridiculously organized.
Make everything competitive. Time everything.
Small groups and lots of stations
Games
Girls get to take 2 free throws at end of practice - If they make 1, they get to run 1 lap. If they make 2 they get to pick someone to run with them (including parents on the sideline.) If they miss both, they have to dribble around with their off hand until drill is over. Then take the girls who make both free throws and put the pressure on them, say 'there is 2 seconds left, you need to make 2 free throws to win the game.'
They only get to do this if the girls gave great effort during practice
Mental toughness
It comes down to believing in the kids you coach, and making sure they understand you believe in them
Culture
Everyone needs to do their role. Coaches coach. Players play. Parents cheer. Umpires make the calls. When everyone stays in their role, everything works well. Step out of your role, and trouble starts.
Captains and leadership
Captains lead stretching and conversation
Teach them to be organized and communicate well
Rewards and recognition
Words of the week - keep the focus on the importance of everyone's role - Then give an award at the end of the week on who best embodied that characteristic
Connecting with and impacting kids
Kevin worked with a young man who was struggling to throw, and 2 years later watching his progress is really exciting.
The one that got away
Casey played on a team, and they came out flat, and lost. You must be prepared for every game.
Favorite book/quote
Book: The Matheny Manifesto
Great resource - Proactive Coaching
Quote: 'There are three types of people in life: Those who watch things happen, those who make things happen, and those who wonder what happened.' - Tommy Lasorda
Book: The Advantage by Patrick Lencioni
Craig recommendation: The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale
Best borrowed/stolen idea
EDD's - Everyday drills
The power of goal setting. You write it down. Then you tell someone. Now it is goal not a wish.
Positive environments and never taking a play off.
Parting Advice
Know the purpose in everything you do. Be organized, make it fun.
