Coaching/Leadership Quote
'At the youth level of sports - you don't want more reps- you want better reps.'

My ‘Cringe’ Moment
One thing they don't teach you in college is how to value and develop relationships - with the athletes, the parents, your coaches
My ‘Ah-Ha Moment’
Stop chasing the word success and start chasing the word impact
Teaching Children & Keeping it Fun
Keep it fun!
Don't expect perfection - instead enjoy the process of incremental improvements
Have very few rules
'We don't do 10 reps. We do one perfect rep ten times'
HUGE IDEA #1 - 'At the youth level of sports - you don't want more reps- you want better reps.' More leads to drudgery and hating the sport. Better leads to excitement and loving the sport.
Best Stolen Idea/Advice from another Coach
Praise in public. If needed criticize in private.
Discipline
Have the kids take a picture of their bed made in the morning and send it to one of the coaches - 'You can't start the day undisciplined then expect to be disciplined the rest of the day'
Coach doesn't like making them run as a punishment - we want them to love exercise and running - so don't use it as a punishment. 'If they miss a layup - don't have them run - have them practice layups!'
Reward and Recognition
Count high-fives during a practice. Then try to beat that number in a future practice.
At the end of practice - have players say something positive about a teammate.
Spend one practice evaluating players' GPA - Good Positive Attitude. Are they giving a high-five coming off the field; are they picking up a teammate's water bottle, etc. If there's a bunch of 4.0's - the team spirit is good, if not - think of ways to recognize those who have the best GPA to encourage the whole team to raise the GPA level.
Mental Edge
HUGE IDEA #2 - How do you de-emphasize the importance of the moment? One method is a trigger mechanism - something you have practiced and evaluated what works with each individual - something to get the player to smile and realize it's just a game. Maybe it's slapping your leg. Maybe it's a teammate saying 'Spongebob is ugly', etc. But you have to practice putting kids in those situations during practice!
The One that Got Away
Coach Taylor believes in living/playing present - so doesn't get caught up in reliving wins and losses in the past.
