Stop trying to motivate your players
August 23, 2018 12:03 - 9 minutes - 17.4 MBI am not a motivator. Say it with me: "I am not a motivator." Lots of coaches take pride in being great motivators and I think being a great motivator is huge mistake. Motivation, by definition, is the reason a person has for acting or behaving in a particular way. When a coach establishes himself as the reason to choose certain behaviors he creates a culture in which every member of the program is focused on an audience dependent motivation. Take a close look at the chart below. Start at...
Discipline Not Punishment
August 20, 2018 11:00 - 12 minutes - 23.5 MB[caption id="attachment_696" align="alignleft" width="318"] This post was inspired by an article written by Tim Elmore and posted on the Growing Leaders website.[/caption] "When we punish kids for crimes, we look backward at what they’ve done, wanting to bring justice to the situation. When we discipline kids, we look forward to the future and equip them to change their thinking and actions. Both require leadership, but discipline generally leads to better outcomes" Tim Elmore Did you ca...

Culture Coordinator Podcast 007: Why I Never Punish Players With Conditioning
February 07, 2018 23:41 - 24 minutes - 45.3 MBEarlier in the week I tweeted out this tweet: Never punish players with conditioning. Why? Because conditioning is a key part of being the best player you can be.

The Culture Coordinator Podcast Episode 005: Coaching Generation “Why?”
January 24, 2018 20:00 - 23 minutes - 42.5 MBIn this episode of the Culture Coordinator Podcast, I talk about coaching the generation that I can "Generation Why?" Why do I call them that? Because they always want to know the why behind the what and the how. They are motivated by the why and they won't do the what or the how if they don't know the why. This is both frustrating because we grew up doing what our coach told us to do without asking any questions, and commendable because we want our young people to act from conviction and ...
