David played Rugby League for many years up to NSW Cup (formerly Reserve Grade), but suffered 2 knee reconstructions at an early age, cutting short his Rugby League Career.

He then went on to pursue Martial Arts. David received his Black Belt in Wing Chun, Purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, train in Submission wrestling, and has had several Cage Fights (MMA).
In the last ten years David has studied many successful teams and individual athletes, from The All Blacks (Rugby Union), to Rafael Nadal (Tennis), Ronda Rousey (MMA, UFC) and many other successful teams and individuals.

[00:07:05] I had to draw a line in the sand more than maybe my personality even wanted, but I knew I had to change the mentality and make it small steps.
[00:08:40] We couldn't control who is walking in the door, but we can control out scouting people trying.
[00:09:32] I can walk you through the steps, but there's going to be 17 curveballs.
[00:09:57] Over-prepare, but you're never going to be prepared.
[00:13:48] I just want them to get better. If we get better will be a tough out March.
[00:17:18] I'm trying to get you from crawling to walking and then we can do to deal with running, but you're trying to go from crawling to running
[00:19:58] So we don't even print out a paper scouting where we send it to them. We don't do, we send them clips, we just send it to them
[00:23:12] it's relatively simple game and we complicate it more than we need to.
[00:24:53] I don't think anger and frustration is a way to coach.
[00:25:32] Threats, anger and frustration, maybe work in the short term. They don't look in the longterm.
[00:31:55] As a young coach, you should have your hands in everything.

[00:02:33] One of the biggest things that we talked about in our program is the difference between transactional and transformative.
[00:04:13] The winning wasn't important, but the journey along the way was way more important, than what the scoreboard read.
[00:08:06] You find out very quickly, and I certainly did, that I knew very little, and in that moment, I gained a greater appreciation than I already had for the coaches that I played for and certainly that I worked for as well.
[00:11:06] Practice should not be about what the coach is getting out of it; practice should be about what the players and ultimately the team is getting out of it.
[00:12:49] If I'm trying to be somebody that I'm not, number one, the players are going to sense that, and I'm not serving them in the best way possible.
[00:13:58] One of the big things that allowed us to take a jump as a program to start winning championships was to stop making excuses that had made previously.
[00:19:40] I always ask them, how can we help you better? How can I help you better? And what question do you have for me?
[00:23:50] Success is success. And I think we, sometimes we make it really complicated as coaches. But I don't think it is ultimately is can you get a group of individuals? Yes. We want them to be talented, but that care about one another and they can care about one another and going after a common cause.
[00:30:57] If the core values are mine as the head coach then that's not really going to work, because I'm not out on the floor, I'm not one of the players.
[00:36:45] the most important thing that we do in my opinion is relationships. And remembering those is hugely important.

[00:03:57] You probably aren't going to have the answers right away as a first-year coach.
[00:05:54] I became a much better coach struggling and trying to figure stuff out than I ever did in a winning season or the season that we were a little bit better.
[00:07:32] What culture is: it's just daily actions. It's daily habits. It's how every interaction's going within your program whether coach to player, to player and a lot of that happens without me being involved.
[00:11:11] I think the biggest thing is clearly explaining what I want on and off the court. And then probably holding kids accountable to that.
[00:13:17] Coachability, like eye contact, some type of acknowledgment I think, is what he talks about, and then more importantly the effort to try to do what is being asked because how he explains it.
[00:21:30] The biggest part of this whole thing is figuring out who you are, what you're comfortable with and what can you live with.
[00:27:01] I think giving structure and then some decision-making within that structure is the best way to go.
[00:28:09] Ultimately we all have constraints in our lives and our jobs. And that helps us make decisions.
[00:29:05] If we're not constantly challenging our thoughts and our convictions, then we're getting stagnant.
[00:30:09] How are you living your core values? And can you define those? And then try to implement them.
[00:30:34] it's just more about these small little interactions. More so than a speech, more so than a professional development day, more so than it even like a team retreat.
[00:31:30] the most successful organizations, schools, teams, I do think are going to fight and win on that front of this is what we stand for and this is what we do. And it might not be immediate.

[00:05:27] Oftentimes we expect things that we don't define for our athletes and if we haven't defined it we can't really hold them accountable to it, or we shouldn't even be expecting that of them.
[00:06:08] They have an acronym that they use that I love. That's Schape. S C H A P E the S stands for spirit, the C for communication, the H for hustle, the A for approach, the P for precision and E for enhanced. I think most coaches would agree, man, if I had a team or if I had a player that actually lived out those six words, that'd be special.
[00:08:33] find the models of the behaviors that you're looking for. Show them to them and praise them when they happen.
[00:12:14] coaches really need to be educated on child development and psychology just as human beings, like understanding how humans function, how groups function, group dynamics, the social dynamics.
[00:13:41] we need to equip coaches to provide an experience that's both good for them as a player and a person.
[00:17:08] The quality of coaching that an athlete gets just has a massive impact on whether or not they stay with the sport long-term.
[00:29:49] Growth is messy, and if it looks pretty, then you're not really getting better.

[00:03:50] Innovation unbound by tradition.
[00:03:59] The more you're bound by tradition, the less movement and growth you're going to have.
[00:04:21] Most people coach the same season, 10 years in a row.
[00:05:25] We don't have an information problem. We've got a transformation problem in today's society.
[00:05:35] to improve is to change by definition.
[00:05:45] To improve is to change and to perfect is to change constantly.
[00:07:19] There's few other vocations where you can innovate daily.
[00:10:02] If you want to get to the next level, find someone that's been at that level and just copy everything that they do.
[00:12:09] When the daily process of improving yourself becomes more addicting than the outcome of winning a tournament or winning a championship, that's when you can be great.
[00:15:09] Running towards fear, running towards embarrassment, as opposed to away from it is what I've learned…it's better to bet on yourself and do something that's really hard and scary because at the very least, even if you fail, you have gotten better out of it.
[00:16:48] It takes unbelievable courage and humility for a coach to bring in a consultant or an outside expert.
[00:19:10] Simplicity wins. You can go far and fast. If you simplify your message and simplify how many things you're working on.
[00:19:55] Most people stop pounding the stone long before they see the breakthrough.
[00:20:33] Adversity strengthens. When practice gets messy, when there's hard conversations, when there's frustrations and push back, that's the moment, you're onto something good.
[00:21:38] You don't win by finding the easier path ever.
[00:22:55] The only way to do something special is to find your victories in your processes, in your daily habits.
[00:23:05] The Mamba mentality that Kobe taught us was just be better than you were yesterday.
[00:24:41] The greatest distance in the world is the distance between knowing and doing.
[00:24:51] you know that you're going all in, when you can act in opposition to your feelings.
[00:29:04] If I were to line up your 12 players outside of your office. And bring them in and say, define your offensive transition number one, principle in seven seconds or less, and I wrote it down and brought those players in one at a time. Would all 12 players have the same definition? Yes, or no? If the answer is no, you haven't yet defined it.
[00:30:10] So, what were three things that every coach should define here? It is simple, offensive philosophy, defensive philosophy, role.
[00:31:08] Not every player can be the star of the team, but every player can start in the role, but they will never star in the role unless it's defined.
[00:34:42] High clarity leads to high performance and creativity comes from constraint.
[00:35:18] When you constrain and focus all of your energy on getting good at one skill, you get good at that skill a lot faster.
[00:35:51] 75% is get good at what your current role is. Twenty-five. Sandbox time, try to get better at the skill you need for your next role.
[00:36:40] No matter how great the strategy, one should occasionally look at the results.
[00:42:19] Weekly wins, determine playing time.
[00:42:37] When you have weekly wins and playing time moves according to the weekly wins your team gets better.

[00:07:25] I got to see playing from a different perspective. I was no longer a star. I was no longer a starter. And so, I started watching film sessions a little bit differently. I started being like, ok, I'm not playing, but I was maybe not mature, but I was mature enough to understand it's not always coach's fault. I just wasn't good enough.
[00:09:52] Value relationships and to value people…we are in a people business as an AD, as a coach, you are in the people business.
[00:10:55] Sometimes our best decisions are made by other people.
[00:11:20] I'm completely devoted to the craft. I'm completely devoted to the players. I'm soaking in everything.
[00:14:11] I wasn't ready to be head coach, but I was more prepared than a lot of other people. Even though I knew it was about people, even though I cared about people, I cared about my players. I wanted to give back, wanting to make a difference. I also was a pretty big fan of myself.
[00:15:02] What they want to know is how can you help me achieve my goals, my dreams my desires. How can you help me look good?
[00:15:15] I cared about them, but they didn't know that because I didn't demonstrate that daily.
[00:15:55] It should be our program that you're putting first, not just my program.
[00:16:24] Teenagers, especially having a difficult time, reconciling those two things that seemed to be an opposition can both be true, right? They're very black and white. There's no gray space at this age.
[00:17:22] Every year I felt like I got to be a little bit better coach because I screwed up the year before.
[00:17:55] We don't need buy-in from our place. We need them to take ownership and be invested in the whole process.
[00:19:51] If they had the same opinion, as you will get that opinion before you tell them what opinion they should have.
[00:22:16] We try to fix symptoms as opposed to getting people healthy.
[00:23:03] I would Institute either character leadership, teamwork, some kind of training to equip and empower your athletes.
[00:25:37] Even though we want our athletes to be coachable, we don't learn and we don't grow and we don't develop and become better ourselves, but we want our athletes to do that.
[00:27:00] Being around people of influence people that help us get from where we are to where we need to be, that inspires people.
[00:27:10] You inspire people when they feel like they can trust you when they feel like you're there to help make them better.
[00:28:26] The coach wanted to make sure that he was adding value to this player and wanting to make sure that the player felt like he was part of the process.
[00:31:23]One of the number one thing is how are you maximizing your strengths? How are you minimizing your weaknesses in any way?
[00:34:21] You've got to put your people in positions to be successful no matter what sport you're coaching.
[00:38:24] Buy in is essentially, you're trying to get someone to agree with you as opposed to all of you collaborating and taking ownership in the process.
[00:39:11] Everyone's a verbal leader, one is everybody can inform. Secondly, everybody can remind, and everybody can encourage.
[00:41:32] Kids are a product of their environment and we need to meet them where they are if we're going to help them achieve the success that we want them to.
[00:44:10] There are all these things that go on in the back of the bus conversations that go on. In the back of the bus and that's when your culture is made or broken sometimes.
[00:48:11] Lead in the way in which you wish it would have happened for you.

[00:08:05] You're always as good as the weakest link and you're always as good as the players on your team.
[00:08:46]I feel like coaching is a calling. It's the same as a teacher.
[00:09:02]You never want to be the smartest guy in the room.
[00:09:22] When you're young, you think you know everything.
[00:10:05] Winning is a by-product of basically building character in these young men and women.
[00:12:17] If you love what you do, you don't work a day in your life.
[00:16:26] Nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm
[00:16:36] Be passionate about something bigger than yourself.
[00:16:42] If you care about people, they'll run through a wall for you.
[00:17:40] What role do you have? How does that translate? It might not be the one that you want, but everyone's role is important.
[00:20:20] That clear the mechanism that my baseball coach says when you're in the pitcher that's no different than clearthe mechanism when I'm at the free-throw line.
[00:21:14] You have to think because you can't just make a call right away without thinking.
[00:21:30] Now I think about every action. Every course of action, I think about, and I think about what's going to happen if I make this decision, or if I say this, what's going to happen?
[00:24:25] Anytime you move up a level, you're in charge of more.
[00:24:42] You went from coaching athletes to coaching adults and the messaging theme while similar, the delivery has to be different.
[00:26:47] He said, you laugh, you think, you cry every day, that's a full day.
[00:27:05] Never give up no matter what and the adversity.
[00:27:20]We talk about ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
[00:27:47]The relationships are what you need to pour your energy into and make that the focus, not the outcome.

[00:18:06] So I had to look inside myself to know that I can do good things on the court. I'm being challenged every day in practice. I can't even dribble the ball across half court against the guys in practice, I'm turning it over every time. And so I had to work on that and develop that.
[00:19:24] He was coaching me. He was challenging me in that time. And so I used that as motivation instead of using it and looking at it negatively
[00:22:17] I think the takeaway here as a coach, one is that those feedback loops are super important and figuring out who you're dealing with as an athlete and as a coach to make sure the message is received in the spirit it is intended.
[00:22:33] It was really important. And had that been a different player, maybe it lands differently.
[00:23:28] So my plan was obviously I needed to put in extra work, which in the book I define as work outside of your normally scheduled practice. And I wanted to be intelligent about that.
[00:29:29] And I always tried to do the best I could to be prepared for those opportunities. So I can help the team be prepared. I wasn't going to play much on game day, but I could help them in practice. And so I think that's a huge opportunity in practice for players.
[00:29:44] I think this idea that I also touch on in the book is I said earlier, handling outside influences. So insiders and outsiders, so many athletes and I'm included, have people that care for them and love them and want them to do well, but they don't necessarily give them the best advice, especially if they're a bench player.
[00:35:08] when you're on the bench, whether you have a chance to play or not, you have to stay mentally checked into the game.
[00:38:52] I think you got to point out how important their role is just being on the team and what they mean to the team. And you got to try to get them to buy into that.
[00:42:59] But I also realized too that if I was going to be on the end of the bench I didn't want to be out on the end of the bench on a bad team.What's that say about me? I can't get in the game on a bad team. I, I think figuring out what my role was and embracing it, it doesn't mean I'm gonna be stuck in that role forever, but just figuring out what it was. And like I said, early on, it was scout team. That was my role.
[00:44:16] I think it's all about your outlook and positive attitude. There's some days where your challenged and it just goes back to, I think the most important lesson in the book, is believe in yourself.
[00:45:28] Everybody wants to start, let's be honest, but on any normal basketball team, there's more people that don't start than do start.
[00:47:36] I think the biggest thing is I, and you touched on this is this, the communication between the coach and the player.
[00:50:03] There's certain sections, maybe there's four sections of a season. The conditioning, practice, games, postseason. And right now there's not a team in America who doesn't have a happy team. Right? Everybody's happy right now cause there's no roles been defined yet.
[00:51:43] How do you keep those kids? He goes, sometimes you got to cut him loose. I go don't believe in that. Cause if somebody cut me loose, I wouldn't be standing here in front. He goes, and he said the word, the first time I heard this phrase, he goes, those guys are coach killers.
[00:53:40] I think the biggest thing is that it's up to you to make it happen. Nobody's going to just hand you what you want.
[00:57:47] I would tell the parents I'd be like, look, here's the difference between a parent and a coach. The coach wants the best five players to play, the parent wants the best four players and their son to play.
[01:00:46] I'm just going to say one of the most important things you touched on and that's controlling the controllables. This is something I constantly talk to my athletes about now.
[01:02:39] Failures is one thing, but mistakes you can control those mistakes by not making another mistake right away.
[01:04:10] Over the 10 years since I’ve written Bench Rules, every year I hear about different teams using it. From college to high school, all throughout the country, and in several different countries as well.

[00:10:34] In your first two weeks of practice you want to establish, what is your culture? How are we going to do what we're going to do?
[00:11:15] NITE communication, which is the PDC concept of names, information, tone, and eye contact.
[00:11:55]Culture eats skill for breakfast, in my opinion if all else is equal.
[00:12:49] A lot of rebounding being able to read the likelihood of the track of the ball and where it's going to go.
[00:13:27] Assigning very clear responsibilities to assistant coaches, most assistant coaches aren't utilized.
[00:15:23] The assistants have a notepad and you're writing down what you see.
[00:15:56] Keep the main thing the main thing.
[00:16:10] Every practice, your assistant should know exactly what they're doing for every activity.
[00:17:42] At this age of stage, they just need more kinesthetic reps.
[00:20:47]When a player comes in late, greeting them with I'm so glad you made it rather than like, why are you late? What makes really exceptional cultures is safe spaces.
[00:21:15] I need a space where they feel like not only, they can make mistakes, but they know that I want them to make mistakes with the correct technique and at the right effort level.
[00:22:44] Hey, you just got better. Hey, I like that mistake. You just got better.
[00:23:25] I think communication is a skill like shooting.
[00:25:08] You're going to play worse while you learn how to communicate for a couple of weeks, and then you'll be able to do both and you'll be back to normal speed.
[00:25:38] Take 20 seconds. Tell your partner one thing they're doing well. And one thing they can get better at and then switch.
[00:26:32] You have to teach them what to say, then you have teach them how to say it, and then you have to give them an opportunity to practice it.
[00:28:07] Do you want feedback right now? If you want it a little bit later, do you want not at a want at all?
[00:32:10] You have to be organized ahead of time to actually serve each player where they're at. You have to anticipate errors.
[00:32:24] From an athlete perspective I'm never afraid to group them.
[00:34:05] I would celebrate that in front of the whole team and say, this is what I respect.This is what I want my players, this is what I'm going to play. This is what's meaningful is players who are trusting the process where they are.
[00:35:07] Basketball is wicked. Every possession is slightly different.
[00:38:36] What's your objective in doing shell drill? Let's start there and reverse engineer.
[00:41:32] How much time you spend thinking?
[00:42:35] I love triangulating strategy of like, I get multiple opinions from multiple people, whether that's books or mentors, and then I need to process and I need to think and find the truth in between for me.
[00:44:40] Sports makes you solve complex challenges.
[00:45:38]Everything is just sales and basketball, maybe you're selling fakes and selling…that sort of stuff…All the things I've accomplished. It's like none of it has been by myself. None of it.
[00:47:25] Everything is practiced for life, and then do not waste the resource of people that sports is giving you and stay in touch with as many people as you can.
[00:50:57]But I think we're evolving to a place where the tribe wants your full self, the tribe values, your vulnerability and authenticity.
[00:52:31] Why are sports so important? They just expand the possibility of who the tribe is.
[00:52:51]I have five or six differing opinions that I find my truth in between.

[00:09:06] They say it's a world of different six inches over and it is a world a difference.
[00:10:01] I wasn't secure in myself enough to just give the reigns up to say, all right, you're going to make a decision.
[00:10:34] The best advice I got when I became a head coach is that you don't know anything, your first five years of coaching.
[00:11:05] The sooner you can realize you don't know anything. And that's okay. And ask the people around you. You will have a lot more success quickly.
[00:12:12] My biggest thing with life is doing things that put me in a position to serve others. That's my number one thing is I want to serve others.
[00:13:11] I was coaching players. Now I'm coaching coaches and I'm trying to figure out how to serve them in the best way I can.
[00:15:36] Let's be real, we all steal everything. Right?
[00:16:37] Proceed with as much positive energy as you can and put into it and move forward with it?
[00:17:07] The idea of process versus outcome. How do we stay married to the day-to-day process of what we're trying to accomplish, which will then deliver the outcomes that we want versus focusing on the outcome, which gets in the way of doing the daily work.
[00:18:26] The premise of coaching is to serve others. It always will be.
[00:19:52] How do you filter that information to make it your own is what's key.
[00:20:42] My mom and dad had the second and third grade education. They came here from Mexico to create a better life for their family. And one thing I learned from them is the work ethic piece.
[00:22:14] Figuring out intentions and what people are going through builds on planting seeds of care and then nurturing that relationship to hopefully make it better.
[00:24:50] The formula for success and failure is ability plus effort will give you success and failure.Some of us are born with enormous amount of effort and have no ability and fail. Some of us have great ability, but shall no effort and still fail. The key thing is that effort has to be constant.
[00:26:24] Failure is just an opportunity to recalibrate.
[00:27:46] But those moments of patting someone on the back have to be deliberate. They can't be forced…you also have to invite failure into your teams because if you don't fail, you're going to fail at the wrong moments and usually the wrong moments are in a game or in a game that matters.
[00:30:49] Like Bruce Lee said, you got to be like water, and it's so important because things change so much.
[00:34:19] I just didn't know how to ask for help. I felt like I should've known things and I needed to figure them out.
[00:37:04]I want to lead by faith and not by fear.

[00:06:49] The first place to start for allowing players to access this, is to re-examine their self-talk. So, we always go to what are we telling ourselves? Because what we think about most becomes our reality and what we think about, we move towards what we think about most.
[00:07:27] Situations happen every day, but we do get to control how we think about it.
[00:08:20] Our thoughts lead to our emotions and how we feel.
[00:08:52] Feelings lead to actions.We take action or not. Inaction is also an action.
[00:09:32] We get our results in life based on the action that we take or don't take.
[00:11:43] Let your actions drive your emotions, not the other way around.
[00:12:28] What are the thoughts right now today that are like running around in your head? Get them out and decide which ones you want to keep decide, which ones you're like, okay, that's ridiculous. Why am I even thinking that, get rid of that? And which ones are you going to change to be more productive?
[00:12:43] Productive thinking is more important than positive thinking.
[00:17:25] Just stopping all physical and working on mental isn't the only way that you can do mental training.
[00:18:14] They shank a pass in that moment mentally, they're taking a breath, they're saying the reset word, the focusing on what they want to see for the next one. So, they're practicing a mental skill right there.
[00:19:07] Two clap. You mess up, clap frustration, clap to energize.
[00:19:42] It's one breath, a reset word, and a gesture of their choice.
[00:20:45] Every water break, you're going to do your mistake ritual. So that, it's something that your body knows to respond to.
[00:23:39] Today, we're going to write down 10 things that you're proud of and athletes struggle with that…think about things in your life that you're proud of to remind yourself what you're capable of.
[00:24:25] We're talking about like the three things that we did well that we want to repeat, and the one thing that we're going to work on and an action plan to improve it, not I'm just going to beat myself up about it.
[00:24:45] Habit reshaping has a hundred percent failure rate when you try to work on more than one at a time. That's what the research says.
[00:28:20] What do you see? What do you smell? What does it feel like? What feelings are going on? We want to create that picture with as much detail as you can.
[00:30:02] The athletes that aren't able to trust that they have a way to recover either, through visualization, through having a mistake ritual, they just don't ever perform to the level that we as coaches know they could.
[00:32:20] Stay in the moment and repeat the moment based on what the circumstance calls for, not your fear of failure.
[00:34:31]If you have strong female coaches and strong leaders It's not as celebrated as much, and we're told some, dial it down a little bit and don't go there and constantly even to the point where like we're not offered opportunities in the same way.
[00:34:45]We really want to make sure that females are learning how to step into their authentic selves and learning how to be leaders that embrace just who they are.
[00:35:45]Don't apologize for being competitive. Don't apologize for the way in which you show up, even though society is telling you differently.

[00:06:07] Confidence and mental skills was actually something that could be developed.
[00:06:40] I graduated and went into teaching and coaching to serve other athletes and other students who were similar to me.
[00:07:42] I believe in you, I see your talent, I see your skills. Why don't you see that? Like, why don't you believe in yourself at the same way that I do? And I'm like, gosh, I'm seeing a mirror of myself right here in high school.
[00:08:16] Kids are the same everywhere. And I need to figure out this mental side of it.
[00:08:36] How can we help equip athletes with the skills to perform under pressure, to believe in themselves, to come back from mistakes and not let one mistake turned into three, four or five.
[00:08:47] Helping female athletes, cultivate confidence and mental skills in themselves, on the court and off the court.
[00:11:19] The thing that was holding me back wasn't that I didn't love the sport, it was the pressure that I was putting on myself.
[00:14:21] We think, I've played at a high level. Like it should just come naturally. Coaching should come naturally, and it doesn't.
[00:16:15] Every kid is different and I need to meet them where they are.
[00:17:10] We have to work harder to create this program of like unity and pride that people don't want to leave and want to come to you.
[00:19:03] Equipping athletes with the mental skills and the confidence that they need to perform well in their sport.Because if athletes can do that individually, so they develop that deep sense of belief in themselves. So, they trust themselves, they have the skills to overcome mistakes, challenges, failures, they know how to properly prepare for a match and deal with those nerves and play well. If they take care of that, our whole program is going to be strong.
[00:20:27] When I was athlete, I was like, am I the only one that feels this like enormous pressure? Am I the only one that gets like so nervous before a game that like, I feel like I could throw up? Am I the only one that feels like, if I make a mistake, I'm going to let everyone down?
[00:23:03] He just greatly influences his athletes just by the energy that he brings to practice.
[00:23:24] He's like all about like just, celebrating his athletes and focusing on the good which we know is important.
[00:23:44]As coaches, we have an enormous impact on the energy and how our players perform and just in how we show up.
[00:24:30] You can control the energy in your space. You are responsible for that. That's a controllable aspect, right? Versus some of these other things that may not be, right?
[00:28:00] I don't want to say oh, I've just come become more soft, but I think for me, I've become a lot more understanding empathetic of like where players are coming from and like that they have so much on their plates.
[00:29:25] Coach, you're soft. And it's no, I've actually learned to listen to my athletes, which I didn't have that skill when I was coaching you. And I'm sorry.
[00:34:08] When I started the business, it was like this almost like imposter syndrome. Should I be doing this? This is in alignment with what I'm doing, but it's a little different, what are people going to think differently of me?
[00:34:24] If something is moving in a direction that you don't like, you can change it.And that's okay. And that's part of life and you don't have to stay stuck in something either that, isn't serving you at the moment and that there's like seasons in life.
[00:35:29] There are seasons and you can change your mind. And it doesn't mean you're a hypocrite. It means that you've reevaluated and here's what's important now, even though this used to be what made sense.

[00:06:57] Coaching, you're trying to impress upon these young men or young women, what you want them to do, and then they have to go out there and do it. And it's really hard because you sometimes want it more than they do.
[00:07:25] Is what motivates one person doesn't motivate another person.
[00:10:32] I always have the best interests of the student athletes at my core. And I think that coaches need to have that too.
[00:11:15] We are in a service industry. We're trying to help these young men and young women.
[00:14:52] There's no better representation on the road than athletes because those are the ones who are on the road. And not to say that the band and the chorus isn't important, it certainly is. But on an everyday experience, you're going to see athletes more in the community and how they get off the bus is really representative of the school.
[00:16:34] The most important thing that the we can do as educators is develop these young men and young women to become better human beings when they walk out the door.
[00:18:22] The most successful coaches I know are the ones that when the practice is over and you blow that final whistle, kids are like, we're over already? That went so quickly. That means I had a great time.
[00:20:10] Adolescents at the teenage years, which is who we're coaching here, they have about a 15 minutes window where you're going to have their attention.
[00:21:34] I've also sought to find more moral victories in the games than I used to.
[00:22:23] The definition of success is going to change based on where you are, what resources you have what other circumstances are in the equation and the recipe.
[00:24:04] I have a rule, Justin, that if you've ever played lacrosse for me, I'm indebted to you for the rest of your life.Whatever you need, you just make a phone call and if I can physically do it, it's going to be done.
[00:27:29] I got to relearn what this institution prioritizes over my previous two stops and whether or not to your point, I'm a fit, and can I become one versus faking it or trying to fit in somewhere where it's not going to work out long-term.
[00:29:37] Fun and success are not mutually exclusive.
[00:30:08] We all got into sports because we had fun with it at the core. We're all little, children's still wanting to have fun. You will play in the playground. I was playing the sandpit and now we've evolved to the court or the field. You have to make sure that person that started with whatever sport it is, did it for fun that it still remains fun at some level.
[00:31:05] Those athletes that you are coaching and creating a culture with and setting core values with, they end up co-parenting your children, right? And they're instilling those values in a trickle down. So, whatever you allow to happen in that team and in that program, your own children are seeing that and learning from that.
[00:34:59] You're going to have peaks and valleys, and you're never going to be in either one for too long. So don't get too down on yourself and don't get to a higher yourself because before you know it, you're dropping down or you're rising up.
[00:39:11] I hustled and hustling is a skill. It's not, God-given, it's a skill. And so, as a coach, just as you want the kids to hustle, you got to hustle too.Hustling is a skill like anything else.

[00:05:42] We need to stop giving edited testimonies.Meaning we need to just tell the truth of who we are, what we've done, when we're talking to people.
[00:12:41] I think as coaches, we have to see the vision and sell the vision and we're constantly helping players to see it and we're constantly selling it to them.
[00:14:25] The biggest thing was just showing that faith in what I was saying. Guys, I truly believe this and not allowing any doubt to creep out or in.
[00:15:10] What if it doesn't work? Am I going to get run out of here in one year? Will my coaching career be over.
[00:15:46] The biggest lesson that I've learned is instead of just saying, I can run this system with any type of team I've had to adjust that to how can I still play the style that I think is right and I enjoy, but tweak it and make it work for this team that I have.
[00:17:31] We build shooters. That's the best thing that we do.
[00:17:51] why not instead of just putting it all in the players it's your fault that you're not better shooters, why not help them become that?
[00:18:01] I have to make sure that in my practice time I'm helping them to become better shooters.
[00:19:08] I think they need to start every practice off shooting.
[00:20:04] We do tons of shooting games because I want every time they shoot for them to have that feeling that they'll have when they play. Pressure. Time. Score. This shot matters.
[00:20:24] If I make 60 and this guy makes 80 again and again, who should be getting the shots here.
[00:20:47] I don't mess with their form very much at all. I don't. I think it's 90 to 10. 90% between their ears, 10% form.
[00:22:21] I would say the number one thing that coaches and teams struggle with is shot selection. And it's also the number one reason why teams lose games.
[00:22:47] We got to get away from vague terminology.
[00:23:07] That term good shots can mean five different things to those players.
[00:23:50] Teach them. Show them through shooting games what the range is.
[00:24:13] What do they prove to you over a long period of time and shooting games?
[00:25:58] How do you detach from outcome, right? How do you let these guys fire away without worrying whether it's going in or out.
[00:27:02] Shoot to get hot. Shoot to stay hot.
[00:28:06] If it's a seven, we're going to continue to shoot those sevens because oh, it's math man. It's percentages. It will come back to help us.
[00:29:43] I would consider one of the most genius coaches of all time is Arsenault at Grinnell. The guy that literally created a new style, a new brand of basketball.
[00:33:04] I think every coach has a style of play that lines up directly with them. It makes sense. They can see it. They believe in it. They feel like this is the right way to play.
[00:38:10] I think the biggest thing I've learned this last year is to give up control.
[00:40:16] I got to give up control of this, or I'm going to go insane and nothing I can say or do is going to change their mind.
[00:41:33] I tell them that I don't think you're making the right choice, but I'm going to keep working with you.
[00:42:14] Control the controllables, man. Don't spend a second of your life worrying about those things that you can't, and you'll be a whole lot happier.
[00:42:50] If anyone wants to have some thoughts for yourselves go mow a huge lawn all the time.
[00:43:43] I used to scout too much. Scouting's overrated.If you do one thing defensively and you do one thing off offensively, then just worry about your guys and become really good at what you do.
[00:45:15] I have happier players. I have players that aren't burnout halfway through the year.
[00:48:22] I think, small sided games, the more you can play, those are the way to go.
[00:49:24] How do you take all the things you want to do and boil it down to what Tim Ferris would call the minimum effective dose, this is what you need to do to be good?

[00:10:01] I had absolutely no idea what it was like and what the challenges was going to be to run a program successfully at the level of conference USA
[00:11:00] Working on the business versus working in the business.
[00:11:30] And if you're a good assistant, often you have those characteristics that I talked about that make you good, but they can also hurt you when you step over into that leadership role.
[00:11:39]Orchestrating the mentality of the team is the leader's number one job.
[00:13:14] Oftentimes we mistake, activity for productivity and I think being intentional with your time and being able to prioritize your time and focus on things that you need that are important to you to develop and grow, I think is one of the biggest things that I neglected.
[00:14:52]I will be way more intentional with mentors and also understanding who I am and what kind of people fit me?
[00:16:15]We had a system, a calendar, literally all year round of making guys work and do extra and chart it.
[00:17:24]Every six weeks you were going to, we call it an oil check with all of the guys you were going to literally check in.
[00:19:54] Because of the numbers in football, the head coaches are forced to delegate.
[00:20:38]When you delegate, it's forces you to develop.
[00:22:55]There's so many different ways to do it the best way to do it is your way, but I think it took me two years to find out who really I was in that regard.
[00:23:49]Until you become a head coach, you think, you know what you want to be like, but it's very difficult to find out who you are until that happens.
[00:26:24] The ability to surrender to the outcome is probably the biggest thing that I also learned in becoming myself.
[00:27:53]What's your story?
[00:28:03]All the great ones go through some kind of huge adversity in their life and that's why they become great.
[00:28:57]I think how I've handled it and the leadership, the learning, the self-reflecting, the growing has been arguably one of the best things that's ever happened to me.
[00:30:19]If everybody could be fired from their job unexpectedly, take a year off and then go back to their job again, how much better they would be would be remarkable.
[00:32:11]On the other side of fear are the greatest things in life.
[00:34:39]He needs to do whatever he can, whatever he needs to do to be the best version of his self in the most critical moments.
[00:37:21]What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
[00:37:45]All of us, no matter how successful you are, no matter what stage you are in your life professionally, we all need mentors.

[00:10:22] I'm pretty confident. I carry myself that way. And I really truly believe in myself. I guess a lot of times belief comes from the stuff you know. That don't mean you know the stuff you don't know.
[00:11:19]We weren't that good with the other coach. And it didn't change much when I took over.
[00:12:51] I had to learn them quick because you never want to be the weak link. As a coach, you want to be the one that's holding everybody up.
[00:13:32] Get your program set up, get your program philosophy, set up, understand how are you going to talk to parents and what it is you're going to allow them to be a part of.
[00:14:51] I think parents just need those directions. They just need to understand what their guidelines are. And once they have them they want to follow them.
[00:16:07] The one difference between being an athletic director and basketball coaches, I have to be an open book. I have to be available to parents. I have to be available to community members.
[00:18:47] Now the athletic director, the coaches, the parents, kids and administration are all on the same page. And when that happens, you don't have any issues.
[00:21:10] Consistency is huge. Setting the expectations early and delivering them in advance almost in a preventative fashion so that you are already setting the tone of how things are going to be managed when issues come up and this is the standard. This is how we roll. We're all in alignment. There's a chain of command.
[00:25:25] I really just try to tell kids what's up. I don't tell kids they suck, but I try to tell them as real as possible.
[00:29:42] It is fun to watch when nobody feels lesser than the next guy or in some instances more important than the other guy.
[00:30:31] Every kid's got a role everybody's important and you've actually created a structure in which to support that and emphasize that puts the burden back on the athletes.
[00:35:23] I have adjusted on is how much I let the parents in as a coach.
[00:35:23] All coaches stop giving your cell phone number out. Use an app.
[00:38:31] The kids that we're dealing with are just different. And you have to adapt, adjust your approach.You have to think more about. How you say things and what you say and the different ways that it could affect them.
[00:41:05] I tell the whole team, yo man, I am here. You have made a commitment to this basketball. Which means you've made a commitment to me, which I honor in the utmost fashion, I am in your corner for life. That means you have me for the rest of your life. So if anything is going on and you don't feel like you can call somebody else, then you could hit me up and my email. It hasn't changed.
[00:41:49]You build a lot of social capital when you do that by being about the athlete and not necessarily just about the outcomes.
[00:44:03]What I wish I would have learned earlier was one focus on the kids first. The first objective is to make them better individuals so that they will have a positive effect on our society when they leave here.
[00:44:49] I can't care more than they do, and I know that kind of sounds funny, but if I care about winning or showing up to practice or working hard or whatever it more than they do, then it's backwards.
[00:45:37] I need to know what type of season you want this year.Are we banner on the way? Or are we parks and rec?
[00:47:58] I have learned to tell the kids I love them. I literally tell them I love them individually and as a group.

[00:07:20] Never take anything for granted and just be working.
[00:08:49] I had to carry on the tradition and legacy of many that have come before.
[00:09:29] I felt like I aged five years the day that I took the job.
[00:10:03] I don't think anywhere to go it's going to be a smooth road.
[00:10:16] You can never be taught what you need to know in a book.I think if you stay with what you believe in and why you wake up in the morning, it becomes just part of the process.
[00:10:36] I wake up in the morning saying I'm going to outwork everyone in America in my position.
[00:10:52]My motivating fuel is I don't want to let anyone down. It's always been my deal.
[00:12:16] Don't take this personal, but I can't be your friend anymore.
[00:12:49]Be respectful, be humble, communicate clearly.
[00:13:44] I'm going to outwork everybody, and when you outwork everybody, the coaches know that you're working. So they're never going to question you.
[00:15:29] You will not survive here if you're not ready to compete.
[00:16:46] My mindset is always continuing to looking at like critical thought critical evaluation. How can we do better?
[00:18:24] I never thought moving over 18 inches meant I couldn't really specialize.
[00:20:18] Learning how to handle individual sports, but technically looking for team championships.
[00:21:08] When you focus on mind, body, soul, I feel like the coaches that do that the best end up winning the most, or at least having the most success, peace of mind in general.
[00:22:06] One of the things I've learned is head coaches need to be the best managers and they need to put themselves in a position to succeed.
[00:22:36]You need to surround yourself with great people, nobody can do it on their own. I don't care what it is.
[00:22:39]It's not getting simpler. It's getting more complicated.
[00:23:02] Teaching your kid a skill goes a long way and it means a ton.
[00:24:15] The little things aren't as big anymore.
[00:24:36] You learn how to prepare, learn how to analyze where to put your time in. As athletic director, I still think the key thing is building relationships.
[00:24:56] Make myself available, understand the parents, understand the students, understand the coaches, what they need, what they want. It's just a lot of communication.
[00:26:00] I think when day is done, you gotta take inventory and say why am I doing this?
[00:26:42] Why wouldn't we do this and serve the way in which it is going to not only uplift our coaches, experience our athlete, experience, our school experience,but ultimately it's also making my job easier down the road.
[00:28:09] I will always do what's best for students.
[00:30:11] I voted to get rid of spring football every year for the last 10 years. I think it's a waste of time. I also know that I'm in a minority, I believe, I like our point guard to play tennis.
[00:30:30] You're division one quarterback, should they or should they not be playing basketball? The answer is no problem. It doesn't matter. So we're going to get a division one scholarship.
[00:34:01] I've done a very bad job of celebrating success and taking a moment to smile because it's like the next season, the next thing, and I would probably tell myself to slow down and learn how to enjoy the overall ride.

[00:04:41] I swam in high school was not the best swimmer was not the fastest. I just loved swimming.
[00:09:04] It's like lacrosse. It's like basketball. It's like soccer, but all in the water together.
[00:10:50] As a black person, you have to be prepared for the white world.
[00:13:31] I could play the game very well. Coaching is a whole new ball game.
[00:15:13] I didn't have to coach, I just wanted to coach.
[00:16:48] I had to basically just understand how to write a good practice. What are the specific skills we need?
[00:18:10] Think before you speak…when an athlete comes into the practice you don't know what type of day he or she has had. You don't know what's going on in the home life and you know what I'm talking about, and so you have to be aware of all that.
[00:19:06]My high school background as a coach really helped my transition to collegiate coaching.
[00:24:11] Understand who your athletes are and understand that they didn't have the same type of day you may have had, and you don't know where they're coming from, be it what's going on in the home or in the school or in their social lives.
[00:26:30] Expect to work hard. And if you commit yourself, you dedicate yourself, you will be very happy with the outcome at the end.
[00:27:13] I just want all the athletes I've coached, just respect the game, respect themselves, you respect everybody and have fun. That's it.
[00:30:01] The ability to see somebody doing something and ask a question out of curiosity, 9.9 times out of 10, they're going to be very sincere and authentic and want to help and pass on knowledge, even though you might not feel comfortable asking.
[00:33:21] Understand where you are and just listen.
[00:39:14]What I did learn over the years, so you can't be didactic and you say, you must do this. You must do that.
[00:39:32] I have to modify to make sure the goal is reached, which is learning, not teaching.
[00:41:01] Our ego and our security, right, are almost crossing each other in the night. So, our ego is going down and our security is going up so that we feel that we can be more vulnerable to ask questions that we should've been asking when we didn't know anything.
[00:41:29] There you go. The more you learn, the more you realize what I got a lot to learn.
[00:42:12] Excuses are like a crutch for the lame and the weak. You're not lame. You're not weak. I don't need the excuses and neither do you.
[00:43:00]If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late and late is just unacceptable.
[00:43:55] If you have a love of something, you will figure out a way.

[00:08:27]One of the first things I can remember learning is maybe how to break some bad habits that I had inherited from previous coaches or breaking some bad habits in terms of being a young coach with not a lot of experience.
[00:10:28] I had to really take a step, continue meeting with mentors and my education and going to clinics and continue working camps and reading books.
[00:12:34] The big thing is not expecting the players to meet you where you are at your level, but finding out where they are and going and meeting them first. From what high school they showed up to what discipline they had established, what their skill set is
[00:13:40] Really taking a step back and identifying where they are and meeting them first and trying to coach them up to build them up individually.
[00:14:10] Whether you're guy one through 30, every player has a role. Those roles are clearly identified. And more than identified the other team members on the team know that player's role.
[00:14:30] If you can work hard to really show a respect for the last guy on the roster.
[00:15:14] Chemistry is the superstar.
[00:16:39]The fear of losing, let it go. Don't be afraid to lose and that's game to game year to year and especially in the preseason.
[00:19:00]Nothing fires up a team more, then one of your players getting a spot start that's been sitting there on the bench, working his tail off day after day. His teammates will root for that guy more than you heard root for anybody else on the team.
[00:22:37]If you see somebody doing something, if you see something you like, go ask. Go schedule a phone call with this coach. Go interview him. Come up with some good questions of what mistakes did you make? Why does your team play so hard? Why are you so organized? How do your kids buy into what you're selling so well?
[00:24:58]I'm the head coach at my community college, and the word community is just that, you're bumping into former players and families in your community.
[00:25:31]Let's just focus on how we can make the best experience for the student athletes, respect their identity, focus on the process instead of the result.
[00:26:40] Ground zero on day one of practice or tryouts, whatever your circumstances isn't day one from 10 years ago.
[00:27:40]Things change. Student athletes change. What's acceptable is change. Work ethic changes, but your standard has to be to meet these kids where they are hear them out, respect their identities, try to work on the process of winning and just continue to bring it back to that focus on what you can control.
[00:29:05]You can never fool your brothers. They always know what's going on, and if we leave it up to the team that can usually problem solve something in-house or you intervene.
[00:31:58]Multiple players can win it. The Lobo award is the team's top teammate. Somebody they feel had the most, respect and work ethic and somebody they'd like to put forward, that's not always the best player on the team.
[00:33:48] Hey, coach, you still give out the Lobo ward. You guys still go on that road trip? Do you still say another day in paradise every day at practice?
[00:35:28]This is your job. You're going to love this. Don't have one foot out the door looking for a university job or a bigger job. Let go of your ego. Start now on day one really focusing on the process, really focusing on building a program and focus on being a part of this community and trying to build the best student athlete experience you can.
[00:36:11] Don't be afraid to lose. Let down your guard a little bit and don't be afraid to get burned by a player or a parent or another coach. That's part of the journey and you don't want to be somebody that's so scarred that you're not willing to love your players.

[00:01:43] I think the biggest thing about the COVID era is just learning how to be more flexible.
[00:03:54] I'm just trying to have a greater attitude of gratitude and just really be thankful for what I do have.
[00:4:30] keep the main thing, the main thing, which for me is how do I best serve my athletes?
[00:05:01] Be grateful of the opportunity that we have as coaches to be around young people, to try to stay in the moment and not always think about the next thing or the next event.
[00:05:59] The past season taught us that we needed to be much more flexible, much more patient, much more empathetic.
[00:06:22] We became more effective at some of the things that we were doing because we weren't doing so many things.
[00:10:54] My job is to challenge and prepare your children for upcoming events in their life that are going to be challenging.
[00:11:49] I love bus rides. I go through the bus and just sit down with kids and say, how you doing?
[00:13:38] Is there a story that jumps out that reminds you when we're in crisis, why we still do what we do?
[00:16:42] I've got guys that are doing wonderful things and there's no better feeling than when you get that random text of appreciation from a kid.
[00:18:04] As guys were struggling through things this year to hear how some of the past has influenced them.
[00:19:20] At many times I felt like I failed. I felt like I failed him. I felt like I failed as family. I felt like I felt the team.
[00:20:03] Ask me how good my team was and tell you 10, 15, 20 years from now.
[00:20:40] Keep the main thing, the main thing, and our main thing is to help raise these kids it's to help get them to the next step in their lives,and that goes far beyond any win or loss.
[00:21:00] Parents you're not raising athletes, you're raising people. So, raise them to be good kids, to work hard, have a good work ethic.
[00:28:05] Life choices can really make or break your life.
[00:29:20] I'll never forget, like the first wedding I was invited to as a coach.
[00:30:22] I've had the very fortunate experience of having former players want to get into teaching and coaching and then to be on your bench with you. It's just an amazing experience.
[00:32:50] Because we just didn't have that relationship yet, and we hadn't grown the seeds and the roots, if you will, to be able to survive the experience that he was going through.
[00:35:53] We have Saturday morning breakfast with our program and we get two, if not three, usually three teams together. We break bread together and have a small meal together.
[00:37:03] It just really reiterated to our players that we cared about them a lot more as people and where they're trying to get in life, than how many jump shots they hit or how many assists they had that night.
[00:38:25] We are really intentional with relating the things that the kids are going through on the basketball court to real life.
[00:39:25] I assign kids to coaches. I typically have three or four coaches in the gym with me, and they'll all have a group of three or four kids that they're responsible for that week, and we put them on a rotation. And I don't know that the kids even know that we do this, and the coach's assignment is to make sure that they reach out to the kid and have some sort of communications that have nothing to do with basketball.
[00:41:22] We call them put up and it's essentially affirmation. So, like at the end of practice, we just go around and we don't necessarily call on people, but guys just have a habit of anybody got put ups? And the guys have a habit of recognizing something that they saw in someone else during that practice.
[00:42:00] Just recognizing that it's about more than just me. What can I recognize in the people around me that they're excelling at today or any other day?
[00:44:31] We forget how intense that end of practice situation can be both positively and negatively.
[00:44:50] The biggest thing is having a plan with how you're going to get to the kids in your program.
[00:46:01] I think if parents know you care and you're willing to put in time they're going to be a lot more likely to be on your side.
[00:52:21] If you can take five or 10 minutes out of each of your opponent's practices.
[00:55:32] Making sure that when we film, I filmed from the opposite side of our bench and I'm looking at our bench as well as the game during film, and very intentional about that and pointing out stuff that's going on or not going on the bench during games.
[00:56:28] We put a second camera and it only looked at the bench and we got close enough that we could see facial expressions. We could read lips and we had a film session and all we watched was the bench decorum.
[00:56:52] One thing I know I'm not going to be doing going forward is post-game talks.
[00:59:30] We're trying to get you to shoot the ball as quickly as possible and have the wrong kid shoot for you.
[01:01:12] Every time we lost, I said, remember, we're butterflies. We have no memory. And then when we won, I said, now, remember how we got this done and let's carry it onto the next game.
[01:03:15] I'm not demonstrating, but player X is because, he's really good at it or he's been in the system and he knows.
[01:03:36] I started utilizing just cut ups, even more of film and not just of us, but let's go see how an elite player does this. And this is what I'm asking you to do.
[01:04:23] Just having one of your teammates show you what they think a hundred percent looks like goes a long way rather than you show them, or one of the other assistants show them.
[01:05:41] And then tell my kids, like we're in this together. Like this is something that we're trying to accomplish. And to let them know that it's something that's not easy and it's going to take time to get better at.

[00:07:32] When you're trying to build a program and you're trying to get some W's and some flags in the gym, you can't have your tourist athlete, you need to develop kids.
[00:08:54] I had so much fun coaching soccer, and as a result, so many of those girls jumped to field hockey because I was able to make connections.
[00:09:36] Some of the best teams I've had in hockey have been the teams that I coached in soccer, those girls that have carried over because their soccer sense translated to their sensibilities on the field for hockey.
[00:10:53] Hockey girls, they carry themselves in a very different manner, and I think that's been something I've really tried to develop and empower.
[00:12:09] If you make a connection, those kids are gonna want to play for you and with their friends in the next season, and it's just such a snowball effect.
[00:12:58] I never went into it intentionally planning some of the things that we do that make our program unique, it's really been at a necessity.
[00:13:44] You start to empower your kids on your team and they then become your assistant coaches.
[00:14:24] Something that really established the culture in my program is student leadership.
[00:17:59] There were a few early seasons where you'd go out there and you'd see football and hockey girls lined up on the line together doing whatever conditioning workout was scheduled for that day.
[00:20:59] They are the most gracious group of people, because I think we're such a small group that we all know the same struggles, and so instead of not sharing the wealth with people it is a very open community.
[00:22:00] Often as a young coach without the security that you may develop as an older coach, we're allergic to reaching out for help. And the more you can do that, the more you realize people are willing to give away trade secrets because athletics is everybody's plagiarizing everyone else anyway.
[00:24:58] How do you coach a kid who's doing this to stay in shape for soccer or stay in shape for track or whatever the spring sport might be, but have them still take it seriously?
[00:25:52] So much of sports has little to do with the sport and winning, and it's all about the character and the commitments and what you learn in those really low moments.
[00:29:18] I think some of the mistakes I've made sometimes as you have a fast kid, you have a kid that no one can catch, so every play revolves around that kid. When that kid gets hurt or when that kid is sick, your whole plan is gone because the kids don't know how to adjust.

[00:09:01] One of the, not necessarily unique, but incredibly special things about a small school environment is the depth of relationship. You really get to know these kids well.
[00:09:43] I finally, I had to convince myself, look, I like basketball more than baseball. And that was really hard to admit to myself more than anybody, because I was a baseball guy that was my life for so many years.
[00:10:57] It was ultimately was enough for me to say, I think this is where I want to be.
[00:12:03] What's urgent, and what's important?
[00:14:54] My philosophy shouldn't change day to day based on the person that I'm speaking.
[00:15:15] After he was fired from some coaching position, he spent like six months just taking notes, figuring out what is his philosophy, what are the things that are non-negotiable that have to be there.
[00:15:46] He really had a system that he knew backwards and forward.
[00:16:00] What are the things that are non-negotiable? What are the things that have worked really well? What are the things that maybe I need to do better? Or some of the things that I could clean up or just throw away and add this?
[00:18:04] Often when you get into the grind of coaching and the day to day, that sometimes you forget to reflect consolidate, and refine, strategize at the end of the year, debrief what worked, what didn't, what you want to tweak and often until you're looking at potentially another job that would be the first time you really start putting that stuff together.
[00:19:44] I've always felt like a thing that could potentially set my teams apart was our commitment, was our passion for what we do.
[00:27:37] But what I did realize was, and you have to be yourself, it doesn't mean you can't look at people and see what they do and how amazing they are.
[00:29:03] I give a lot of latitude for my coaches as far as to be themselves to coach what they know. But just be a good role model. They have great energy. Always be early.
[00:29:23] I don't like people sitting, I don't think I've sat in a practice in 35 years, I like to have up and around and moving and the players feed off that.
[00:30:19] You might not have the same guys that I have. So how can I expect you to implement a system that may or may not work? Just go do your thing and here are the core values and principles that I need to make sure they have.
[00:31:35] I think the biggest thing that has haunted me is learning how many wins that I got, and counting them up one year.
[00:32:17] I just want to make the experience special, as that's been my overriding principle over everything, how can I make this experience the most special that my player has ever had?
[00:32:40] David Goggins' quote, and it's be uncommon amongst the uncommon.
[00:34:11] The outcomes will come as long as you pour into the process.
[00:39:19] It's letting go of the outcome.
[00:40:03] If you're playing against much bigger schools, whether the expectation is not there, it makes it in some ways, much easier to coach where I can just, I can get into that game and be fully committed and not worry about the scoreboard. And it's all about how hard we play and how much heart that we have and how well are we executing?
[00:40:34] My mantra was no more bad days, only good ones or great ones. No matter what.
[00:42:04] It's such a good reflective question no matter what the answer is to think about what is it that we have been willing to self-examine that we've changed our mind on something that we previously believed.
[00:44:37] Getting to know your players and spending extra time, they need to know that you care. To me, it might be the most important thing is, and I really feel like it's a big reason for the success that we've had is.
[00:45:15] I feel like if there is a separation, it's how I relate to my players and how committed I am and how creative I am and figuring out ways to show how much I love them.
[00:04:01] I've really taken time to make sure and be really intentional about reaching out to each one of our guys so they understand I'm there for them because who knows what they might be going through.
[00:06:07] Stop worrying about trying to show people how smart you are and how good a coach you are, and really focused on making sure that they know that you can lead.
[00:06:47] You forget often that these guys are 18, 19, 20 years old and they're dealing with things just as much as you are, and they don't necessarily have the emotional or mental capacity to take advantage of them or put them in their right place.
[00:07:51] You may come up with and have the best possible plan that there is, but when you get to situations, they don't call for that, or they cause you to pivot, they cause you to scrap that plan and now all of a sudden you have to instantaneously come up with something different that is efficient and productive in the same token.
[00:08:51] Coaching in a nutshell though, right? There are constantly problems. You're constantly problem solving and making decisions throughout the course of the day.
[00:09:29] At the end of the day, you can take that strategy and game plan and crumple it up and throw it out. It really is about the team that just plays harder.
[00:10:19] It's the simple things. It's about getting your team to be aggressive and getting them to trust their instincts and getting them to connect.
[00:10:49] Being able to handle hard conversations that are super disappointing.
[00:11:40] You walk in there knowing you have to deliver bad news and how you do it gracefully.
[00:13:51] What are the good players and the leaders do better than everyone else? They produce consistently, you know? And it's not just production on the court, but it's the consistency in terms of how they show up every day and the consistency of their emotions and the consistency of how they work and the consistency of how they receive correction.
[00:14:05] As coaches, we'd love to get an entire team that works with an intent and a purpose every single day
[00:14:25] I would say the really great leaders that we've had, they bring it every day in terms of their consistency. They're really intentional in terms of how they perform. But they're emotionally connected to their teammates and that emotional connection allows them to lead them better.
[00:16:03] I think that's the challenge as coaches is for us, if it's important then we practice it, we chart it, we report it, we talk about it and we reference it constantly.
[00:17:46] What you want from your guys, I think the leaders draw a line in the sand, like constantly, and I think that they move it and they make sure that's not crossed.
[00:18:41] You're in charge of your space. Coach would always say that. Like rent is due every single day. You're going to have to bring it every single day.
[00:18:59] You can't be, great at anything if you're trying to be great at every single thing.
[00:20:33] At the end of the day leaders, they show up and they're consistent.
[00:21:09] I think when you show up and you have a passion for being in the gym, or being in the film room or talking about academics or checking in with them about their parents, and they see that every single day, I think that's the way that you can model it.
[00:21:19] I think just like when you're a parent, your kids are probably not going to be like how you tell them to be, are going to be what you show them…when you find somebody who does show up every day, put them under your wing and make sure that you teach them the nuance of what leadership looks like.
[00:22:11] Do you play favorites? Yeah, I do. I play favorites of the guys that show up and they show up every single day, a certain type of way.
[00:22:47] It's not the best player. It's who shows up and gives the most energy. Who shows up and gives the most effort? Who shows up and gives the most of the intangibles.
[00:23:06] I literally try to wake up every morning, before my feet hit the ground; I already have a boxing gloves on and I'm fighting for my culture.
[00:23:55] I think the more you acknowledge that it's a bad situation, you can find a way to be productive in spite of that.
[00:24:14] People follow genuine leaders and authenticity.
[00:24:24] This sucks. It sucks. I know it sucks, so let's embrace it, but let's still be productive because of it.
[00:26:55] Passing is a lost art. You think about how many times a guy passes or takes another player or his teammate out of a shot because he gives him a pass that's not necessarily in their shooting pocket.
[00:27:10] The best things about passing the ball are being able to deliver a pass better than FedEx, better than UPS.
[00:28:52] Jeff van Gundy says this, and if you listened to him the last series, I think with the Phoenix suns in the Milwaukee, he talks about three Rs. He talks about running, rebounding, and rolling.
[00:29:50] If you like study, why people do the ball screen coverage as they do is because they know that cars can't finish those shots at the rim over contests. And that's a simple fact.
[00:30:21] I think the higher you go the smarter you have to be. And I don't mean you got to be able to recite poetry or do all sorts of math equations. I mean like basketball IQ.
[00:33:26] You have to go five minutes at your group or with a coach or with a manager or whatever it is, five minutes on whatever that skill is that your head coach picks for that guy and you got to go for five minutes. It's not like just catch and shooting. It's you're doing that skill and maybe it's going at a speed that they're not used to comfortable.
[00:40:07] Part of the job of a coach of a person that's in leadership is to try to get people to become the person they want to become when they don't want to do the things that they want to do to get to that point.
[00:40:38] You can do more than you think you can do.
[00:41:12] As parents, as people, we can always try to do more and be better dads, be better, husbands, be better, whatever it is.
[00:41:33] The sport and pushing yourself can help you learn a lot about who you are and you can help young men realize that they're not just basketball players: they're really good people that can be mentors and leaders, and we do that through the sport.
[00:42:34] We're all trying to have that type of connection with our players where you love them, and you care about them. But at the same time, you can be very truthful with them.
[00:44:21] We all want things and we want them right now and we don't always understand how important, hard plays into that, and what it does is it makes you appreciate when you do get through hard, when you do accomplish something that was hard.
[00:44:41] He was talking about truth. And to me, truth is love. If you love a person, you are going to lead with the truth, and they're going to trust that you are coming from a space of love by telling them the truth.
[00:45:11] The game that we play is probably one of the most individualized sports. But our job is to try to get five individuals to do one common thing, and that is coaching.
[00:46:10] It's going to be hard because if it was easy, everybody would be doing it.
[00:47:29] At the root of everything and it's really difficult, but basically, you're trying to get every player to be as good of an individual as humanly possible and then convincing them on Thursdays and Saturday nights to give that away for whatever's best for the team.
[00:48:13] He has this intensity, but it's wrapped up inside of his empathy and his compassion for the players.
[00:50:31] There are so many different versions of gray based on people's experience and how they can then take those words and apply them in their life.

[00:11:05] You have to work on in terms of energy systems, in terms of growth and development patterns and how you have to match the training to that. So, you have the best athlete you can possibly have at the end of what they call the development pathway.
[00:17:49] The HRV measure that is just changed my life, I can really feel it. I'm using their time to the best possible way to develop them and not wasting too much.
[00:19:02] I learned a lot about motivation. And I also learned though a lot about I don't want to say this the difference between practice and competition.
[00:21:11] first thing I tried to teach on teaching coaches is get out of your own experience and makes sure that it's only one part of your toolbox, you've learned that this work, but it isn't the same for everyone.
[00:21:42] When you're working with an athlete something happens and you learn from that and it's a circle.
[00:22:18] Here's how I'm feeling. Here's what you're saying. How do we find this middle ground and co-design what's best for the sample size of one that's in front of you?
[00:23:11] You have to understand the culture in which you are coaching that is critical.
[00:27:50] I've seen other Western coaches come to China and not be as understanding of their culture and really have a hard time.
[00:29:25] They could describe some physiological things better than any Western people, because Western people will always equate their feelings with the results.
[00:30:22] We always evaluate decisions based on the outcome when it could have been a completely wrong decision and we just got lucky and you need to look at the decision-making process, not the outcome.
[00:33:38] And when we learn how to walk, we don't teach people how to walk by lifting their leg up and stretching it out. And then basically the body self organizes and shifts weight from one side to the other.
[00:36:11] What we have to do is build better human beings and they will perform better.
[00:41:20] Not judge other coaches and programs so harshly by the results of their success.
[00:41:40] A lot of times, and there's a well lucky everyone's career, certainly mine, where can we get a lot of talent and get success. And people think you're smarter than you are. And that's not always the case. And there's a lot of geniuses that the right kids who've just never walked through the door.
[00:44:02] We have to have ruthless commitment to improvement and open mindset.
[00:44:22] If we can have some incremental improvement, every session every day even if a hundred other things go wrong, if you get better at one thing the dimension of all that will lead somewhere good in some way.

[00:09:25] I was able to pick up a teaching job and, that was like darn near 24 years ago. And really, so the teaching job allowed me to coach and that was really good.
[00:10:03] When you're in the basketball and when you're working for a big-time coach, like Bob Williams, second to none, you're spending all your time in basketball and you're not really thinking about your future.
[00:12:34] What's the old saying. You have to learn it twice if you want to teach it. So, you really know it after you teach it.
[00:13:23] Bob always talked about this and we never really understood it, but you've got to be able to get along with the people in the administration and the people in the college.
[00:14:19] There aren't that many head college jobs, aren't that many good head high school jobs out there. But sometimes we're in such a rush then we go into a situation where the people that we're working for our ideas and our goals are not the same. And that causes lots of problems.
[00:14:39] Something that I've learned over the years is the importance of being a mission appropriate fit as a leader and as athletes and with your administration and even your role in the school.
[00:15:10] Sometimes it takes a while to adjust your own thinking and approach to be in alignment with the administration if that's a place you want to be.
[00:15:45] We should be coaching the game because we want to help prepare you for life.
[00:16:15] Letting the kids do things that he or she should not be doing and allowing that to happen because they can make a three-pointer or block his shot, you're doing that kid an incredible disservice.
[00:17:03] We need to prepare these kids for our community, for our society.
[00:18:56] They call them little things, but really, they're winning things that as coaches, we emphasize.
[00:19:38] Systematically emphasize the things that don't show up in the box score.
[00:19:49] As a coach, I really believe that the team who plays the hardest, and believes in that the most is going to win.
[00:21:01] The thing I found through all the years is guys really want to be coached. They really do want to be coached because they're smart and they realize, hey, if I'm being coached and I have somebody who knows what the hell they're doing, they're going to have a better chance of winning, and they're going to have a better chance of realizing their dreams.
[00:22:10] You can't try to do too many things. So, you've got to stick to whatever your principles are and you just really have to work on those
[00:22:30] when you watch football, it's always about the offensive line and the defensive line, whoever can control the line of scrimmage. And then we put those into basketball terms.
[00:22:46] Basic fundamentals in the terms of blocking out, similar to blocking in football. Early help, very important. Contesting threes, very important.
[00:23:30] Have them try to get to the hoop against a good defender. It's not going to happen. It's harder to get good shots.
[00:24:21] I just think defense really wins games. Shot selection really important. And then execution.
[00:24:40] I think really the most important thing is do they want to be there? Are they enjoying what they're doing?
[00:25:15] "teach your kids to be players, not to run plays."
[00:27:19] Really concentrating on the game and trying to have the kids ready to play on game night is really important.
[00:33:02] We're trying to prepare our kids for the future. Okay. The future isn't playing in the NBA doesn't play in the NFL. The future is having a job, having a wife, having kids, making a mortgage payment. Voting. Adding something to the community, that's what it's about. It's not about, hitting a turnaround jumper and winning a basketball game.
[00:33:48] When we have a captive audience and we spend more time with these kids than anyone else in their lives, usually during this 14- to 18-year-old period, how are we maximizing that value add for them not necessarily for us, but for them, how do we keep them at the center of the equation?

[00:11:27] We just adapted. That was the biggest thing.
[00:12:22] I called up coach Meyer and said, can I talk to you about what you do? And he goes just come work my camp.
[00:14:32] Adapting to our situations and really trying to teach our players to figure out what they do well, and have them focus on becoming elite at those specific things, more than being mediocre and a lot of different things.
[00:15:09] I think it's a mindset we want our players to really focus on. Quit trying to do things you can't do. Really zero in on what you do well. And if you can do that more often, you're going to find more opportunities to play.
[00:15:37] It's Hey, this is what you're good at, let's go be great at this. And the off season, we can develop these things, but now's not the time to try that.
[00:16:22] It changes the way your kids look at themselves. Instead of being mediocre, I am phenomenal at setting screens and slipping. It changes their outlook. You're looking at them as a solid contributor and elite player instead of a guy that can't do something.
[00:17:44] Our biggest thing is we want to add real value to our kids' lives and that is far reaching, and we want them to have that same type of thing. We want to get to know them. We want them to gain that trust.
[00:18:01] We want them to know that we're there as their advocate and support.
[00:21:55] Basketball is not that complicated. On offense, you're trying to create space, on defense or try to take it away.
[00:22:47] I just think really focusing on what's really important to you, and as I coach, what needs to really be important to them?
[00:23:38] If you're going to have a truly championship program, it needs to stand for something more than just winning and losing and just basketball.
[00:25:16] As the longer I've done it, you've realized you need to get to know your kids in a way that you can help them.
[00:33:43] Coach Krzyzewski was talking about rules and standards and he goes, he didn't have a lot of rules because rules are something you have to punish people when they don't follow. Standards are something you inspire to live up to.
[00:35:04] You need the flexibility to deal with the circumstances as they present themselves because the answer is always, it depends.
[00:35:34] Focus on what matters and understand that a lot of the mistakes, especially high school kids are going to make are age-appropriate mistakes. And our job is to guide them through those and develop inappropriate mistake response.
[00:37:53] You need to read the book by Frosty Westbury and make the big time where you are. And so that's what we've tried to do the whole time and the quicker you can really figure that out instead of trying to climb from here to there. You're just going to be happier.

[00:07:47] People have told me, you want to find your passion and something where you wake up every day and it doesn't feel like you're going to work. It feels like you're doing what you love.
[00:08:11] The Marine Corps is one big team that is made up of smaller teams that help them compete as a big unit.
[00:10:27] The biggest thing that I think I've had to be aware of that I guess I had an appreciation for, but didn't really know is how much of a tone the head coach sets for the program.
[00:11:00] In terms of a coach and leading a team, anything you say people are latching onto and really paying attention to way more than when you're an assistant coach.
[00:11:25] I've had to constantly remind myself of the importance of your words and not only your words, but your delivery and your tone.
[00:13:13] There is no such thing as leading by example. The proper term from my perspective is you have to set the example.
[00:13:32] The next level to take the team to where you want it to go and keep improving is being able to understand I'm a teammate first, which means what I'm asking you to do is upholding the standards of the team. And, we can be friends off the field and hang out. But my role as a teammate is to get us to maximize our potential.
[00:14:32] I think a lot of times everybody thinks if you're going to hold a guy accountable, you have to be a jerk about it…the person that is getting held accountable needs to be a great teammate and accept that accountability.
[00:16:34] It's the idea that you said here are the standards. My job is to uphold the standards, and that's not going to waiver no matter what.
[00:16:57] How do we create these systems where the athletes are holding one another accountable and it's not just dictatorial and top down because those are ultimately the teams that are going to be most successful.
[00:18:07] I think a lot of people talk about this. It's easy to talk about and hard to execute: consistently competing every day. The teams that I've watched and had that have been great enjoy that. They enjoy the work. It's not work. It's what we do around here is we just go out and we play as hard as we can and we compete every single day.
[00:19:18] The great teams, the great players work hard and are dedicated and dominate the unseen hours. So it's not about showing up at practice for two hours that is not going to get you to where you need to go. Unfortunately it is what you're doing after practice, before practice, days off, those kinds of things. And again, that sounds like a lot, which it is.
[00:20:04] If you want to be good, you got to invest.
[00:21:34] I've always thought that you shouldn't ask people whether you're leading them or coaching them or whatever, you shouldn't ask people to do what you're not willing to do yourself.
[00:22:26] When I was a younger coach, I confused activity for achievement.
[00:23:21] The guys should have the fundamentals and the tools to be able to take the test on games.
[00:26:44] Something that I've tried to do with our players, I've tried to do with our coaches, is be up front, be direct, and be to the point and do my best, not to allow any ambiguity or assumptions from the receiver of the message.
[00:28:35] You need to treat people fairly and you need to be consistent, but you should never treat them the same. It's just like a fingerprint. No one individual, no one case is ever the same.
[00:29:45] We all know as coaches, some guys love the swift kick in the rear end. Some guys, you got to put your arm around him and hug him and say, you're great. You're great. You're great. You're going to be even more great if you do this.
[00:30:44] That's an important feedback loop, right? To get the boots on the ground telling you, Hey, this is what you need to know as a leader.
[00:31:44] I grew up I guess in the Marine Corps and throughout my athletic life, like work harder, or do more. And I think have changed that sometimes less is more and it's about the bottom line and it's not about comparison.
[00:35:21] Ask more, listen more and talk less and just be a learner…seek more knowledge and don't worry about proving yourself, just be you. And you don't have to always talk, listen more.
[00:38:09] The people at the highest levels were us at one time. We've never been them, but they've been us. And I think for the most part I found, this is why I love coaching. Most coaches are willing to help other coaches.

[00:09:23] I'm nothing more than a harvest of seeds that were planted in me ever since I was a kid. And one of those seeds that my mother and my parents planted in me is you never know who's watching you. You never know.
[00:10:07] You invest in the opportunity to learn from really good people.
[00:11:58] I just believe there's no finish line so how can I continue to grow and get better?
[00:18:30] Your decisions affect way more people than yourself, way more people than yourself, and I'll go a step further, how you make those decisions is really important.
[00:18:51] I'm just not very good at making decisions when emotion is involved. So, I'm going to take my time. I'm going to evaluate all options
[00:19:21] As an assistant all your suggestions you think are great. But as a head coach, you realize very quickly that those decisions really affect people more than just yourself or that individual that you thought it did.
[00:20:18] Making what matters to winning a game as simplistic as possible.
[00:22:04] I like to say lead them to accountability.
[00:24:17] I work at an institution where every single day I walk past a trophy case and it's filled with national championships and I'd be a fool to not only pick these people's brains, but to observe and watch what they do.
[00:25:07] When you stop learning, you stop living.
[00:26:16] Success leaves clues.
[00:26:43] He's big into bring someone with you, success is not a single journey. It's the ability to bring others with you.
[00:27:27] You just going to the gym by yourself doesn't help us get better, bring someone with you.
[00:33:31] It's just continuing to have joy of where you are at reflecting on where you are and to pour into others as much as possible.
[00:36:46] I am the root that extends this fully made tree that we want to be.
[00:37:03] If you can figure out guys and what makes them tick, you often can get more out of them than trying to put them all in a box.
[00:37:54] Being patient, in everything, and being patient with yourself, understanding that just like the players, their best way of learning is getting those reps.
[00:38:15] Understanding that it's going to be ugly, but being patient during that process and sticking to what you believe, but also being open to sharpen whatever tools needed to be sharpened in the toolbox.
[00:40:46] Coaching, I tell people, especially young coaches, it's like the military. You never know where your next is going to be, but you work extremely hard as if you're going to be there for the rest of your life.
[00:42:15] My most like proud, and, I would say my most rewarding thing for me is when each of those players reach out to me and share how they're doing, or ask me how they're doing or how I'm doing, or share an award with me.
[00:43:21] Relationships matter, and if you invest in those, it allows you to build on top of them intentionally or organically just based on having a common bond.

[00:03:36] I had a chance to sit on the bench and be the ball boy, and really fell in love with the.
[00:07:40] Understanding of I'm taking people's kids across the country and I'm the responsible party for making sure everything goes smooth.
[00:08:23] You're not the varsity boys basketball coach, you're the CEO of this program. And for better, or for worse, what takes place in this program is your responsibility. Again, that was an eye opener for me, because I thought of it as the basketball coach, the mentor.
[00:09:57] Stop referring to our coaches as the head varsity coach, but they are the leader of X program for that exact reason. Like you are responsible. The JV team reports to you, those athletes are your athletes. It's not this isolated provincial teams. There's vertical integration and it all flows up hill.
[00:11:26] It's not just coaching, my guys at the varsity level, but how do I impact the freshmen?
[00:13:22] Basketball is a tool to help young men become men...ask me 15 years from now, if that season was successful and I'll be able to tell you a lot more…if we help these young men grow and develop as human beings, as leaders, as future fathers or whatever it is, now we've really done our job.
[00:14:40] I'm going to take this senior and pair him with this sophomore and this freshmen, you guys are a family.
[00:16:32] We use sports as a vehicle to teach leadership and followership and how to be part of something bigger than yourself…The wins and losses matter. It's a metric. It's something you can measure, and the process is what we're really about. How do you pour into this growth piece to help everyone understand what it means to be on a team, how the world works.
[00:17:38] We spent the entire weekend at this retreat and did not talk about basketball…We have this phrase Mudita. It's a staple of who we aspire to be as a program, or really what it means is to have joy in the success of others.
[00:18:47] How am I being about something bigger than myself and how am I inspiring others around me to be a better? And how am I truly gaining joy by your success?
[00:21:55] I actually remember a player telling me like, so simply he's like coach, when you say this stuff, I don't understand it. When you write it down, I do. Boom. Eyeopening.
[00:22:55] I think having kids changed me as a coach.
[00:27:12] He meets with every family and they talk about what success looks like for their kid. Because he wants that family to be a partner and helping get from point A to point B.
[00:27:54] What do you want your son to get out of this experience? That's what we need to talk about.
[00:29:02] I don't want to overstep any bounds. But I do feel like I'm in a unique position to offer my perspective, to offer my experiences both good and bad.
[00:29:58] Because again, at the end of the day my job is to help them grow as a man.
[00:31:04] Your job as the leader is to hold space, to have those difficult conversations that can be very sensitive.
[00:32:49] Seeing every day as an interview is something that has carried me to where I'm at.
[00:33:22] I wouldn't be where I am today, professionally if I didn't learn early on to show up. Like you got to show up every time.
[00:33:42] I'm not asking kids to be perfect. I'm asking them to be the best version of themselves. I'm asking them to give me their best effort. And if you could tell me, you gave me your best effort. Cool. If you can't. Go back and examine.
[00:33:58] I want them to look at me and say, man, that's the kind of person that I want my son to be. That's the kind of person I want my daughter to be, or to be around. And I want them to be able to see a positive image of what an African-American man looks like.
[00:35:30] I want people to see it. Cause if you can see it, you can be it. And if you don't have those models and you don't have the opportunity to learn from maybe somebody who went before, then you're going into this whole thing blind.
[00:36:36] Advice I would give my younger self is to view failure as learning opportunities, to actually frame it that way and not be afraid to make a decision because of a potential negative outcome.
[00:37:10] You're not going to be perfect, dude. That's not going to happen. So don't be afraid to make the decision.
[00:37:25] Even if you have to clean some stuff up, make a decision, stick to your convictions.
[00:39:37] It's not going to be on my back that I didn't give you an opportunity to be prepared for the test we're about to walk into; that's my job as a teacher.
[00:40:14] You need a plan, then you need a contingency. Then you need another contingency plan to make sure that when all those first ones go wrong, you're still delivering above the expectation that you've set for yourself, not for anyone else.
[00:40:36] You can only rely on yourself and the plans that you have put in place. And if you're waiting on somebody else to show up for you. You're not giving yourself the best opportunity to be successful.
[00:40:50] Preparation plus opportunity equals success…Don't rest on the mistake. Find a way to fix it and be better.

[00:07:30] I was forceful in this messaging, I wanted to be very clear that every time they were going to touch a stick, they were going to get better…to be the best team we can be like, how can we do that? And there are two ways to do that is for individuals to push themselves to be the best players they can individually be. And then also to be the best teammate they can be.
[00:09:51] You always need to explain not just what we're going to do, but how and why.
[00:10:06] Because I played college lacrosse, I am actually much better equipped to teach the skills in lacrosse than I am soccer.
[00:12:53] I had to learn how to make that direct communication heard effectively…I played with them. I do that with the girls teams too, but that gave me credibility, so that they listened to me.
[00:16:22] I think that the sports challenge motto, which was skills for sports skills for life is absolutely the kind of basic philosophy that I have for coaching.
[00:17:59] I want kids to play sports because they love it. And I think a lot of the messaging that we get from club sports is they feel like they have to do it, or it's just something that they do in order to be considered an athlete.
[00:18:48] And that just makes me sad. I don't think it should be that way…I also don't think college athletics is for everybody. And I know I can say that because I played, so yeah, people like, okay, Caldwell, whatever, but it isn't. It takes enormous dedication and work and you have to love that work and you have to love that time.
[00:19:24] If there's any quality that I hope my players have at the end of the season is I hope that they can be more confident about themselves.
[00:19:51] How can I help instill confidence into players? How can I empower them to believe in themselves? And sports do that and you don't have to play college sports in order to get that lesson.
[00:22:22] Something that I'm thinking a lot about is how to make a just right challenge for each team based on where they are.
[00:23:59] What I learned as an assistant coach, which I found to be very important is when I have an idea how to convey that without stepping on toes and how to offer ideas when it's going to be helpful and then to just shut my mouth when it's not going to be helpful.
[00:26:30] I just value the time spent at practice. And I don't like long lines in drills. I don't like wasting any second that were out there. And so, I almost prefer to have shorter practices rather than go the full two hours and just not be doing a lot.
[00:27:56] I need to delegate to my assistant and use them or else they're just, they're hanging out, watching. And I think that's something that's really hard to learn how to do to let go.
[00:31:45] I learned how to be a little bit more measured in my approach. I was a very passionate player. I am incredibly competitive and I have had to learn how to coach people who aren't as competitive as me.
[00:33:55] With high school sports, because my goal is to teach them how to take ownership for their learning. I don't have to know everything. I can put them in situations where they are going to improve in their decision-making or their communication.
[00:34:33] I'll have one of my better players demo it; sometimes I'll demo, but I try to not do that anymore. That's something that's changed. I don't need to demo this. Isn't about me. It's about them.
[00:34:49] I can give them the tools and my hope is that they will take those tools and apply it to themselves to take ownership for their learning process.
[00:36:13] "failure is the only opportunity to begin again, more intelligently."
[00:36:28] All failures are learning opportunities.
[00:40:48] What I need to remind myself is exactly what we were just talking about that a loss, which I hate losing, is so informative and so important. And when I hear teams talk about how amazing it is to have an undefeated season, I'm like, oh, what a pity, that team doesn't get to learn how to lose.
[00:42:17] After a disappointing loss, what are we going to take away from this? And what are we going to leave?
[00:43:46] I think I would temper how much I would participate in the practices because there are times when it's so helpful for me to play or joined the drill or model it. And there are times when it's so unnecessary and it was ego boosting for me, or just because I wanted to shoot.
[00:45:16] I don't know that in 25 years of doing this, I've ever thought, okay, what's the level of my team and what's the low hanging fruit in regards to how this is going to be played based on the level of my team? And let me train that to help us move the needle. So, I think we're going to end with that because it's a really provocative question for all coaches to think about the level of your team and what that's going to do to the model of the game you have in your head and the reality of how it's going to be competed based on their skill set.

[00:07:19] It was sweeping the floor every day before practice, pulling the bleachers out for games, making sure that you had a scorekeeper there, washing the uniforms after the games, washing practice gear every day, trying to scrape dollars together, fundraising, when you really don't know how to fundraise.
[00:08:50] I not only got done what was asked to me, but I knew how to initiate. I knew how to figure things out and take initiative and get things done. Not only what was asked to me; you see something that needs help or to be addressed and you find a way to do it as opposed to just doing what you are told.
[00:10:26] As an assistant, you think you have all the answers a lot of times,
[00:10:56] As an assistant coach, you are involved in a lot of the decisions, but they don't fall on you.
[00:11:36] It was a trial by error situation a lot of times. And I think we've made more good decisions than bad ones, but we made a lot of bad decisions and figured it out and tried not to make them twice.
[00:13:03] My advice would be, istry and do a great job in terms of being loyal, working hard, going the extra mile.
[00:23:08] If you walked into one of our practices, you're never going to see anybody walk. That's an expectation. It's something that we talk about on a daily basis.
[00:27:07] So, you learn what to do, what not to do, but you learn how to teach, and I really think that's something that's important is watching great teachers, not just in basketball, but in all sports.
[00:29:08] I've slowed down a little bit in terms of how I make decisions.
[00:29:38] The decision doesn't need to be made today. And it might not need to be made tomorrow. We have some time here.
[00:32:03] My ability to slow down and think as opposed to reacting has helped me.

[00:07:44] But we sit here at a time where there's a lot of change. Players are, their mentality is a little bit different. Not that it's worse or better, it's just different. And I think things are changing at a very rapid pace.
[00:08:01] We're not going to get out there and all the talk and not back it up. We're going to get down to business. We're going to go play every day and that's non-negotiable on that side.
[00:16:28] But my goal is to adapt and do that as I go, because sometimes you just get so narrow-minded with things and you forget these kids, you got to enjoy and have a little fun too.
[00:17:34] What's your personality as a coach, and be able to adapt and figure that out over the last eight years has been a tough and frustrating process at times, but it's been very rewarding as far as listen, this is who I am as a coach. I'm not this guy, this is who I am and how I handle things. I just do it a little bit differently. And being able to accept that a little more, I think has been something that's helped me over the last few years.
[00:20:10] It's not just, hey, we need to go win a championship. No, it's we need to take care of it of today. And we need to take care of this drill. And each guy needs to understand that the details within that affect your teammates. So, if you're not out there giving a hundred percent of this drill, you're actually hurt your teammate.
[00:21:16] We talk about turning your resume every single day. It's not just turning into the start of the year and think you got a job, you got to keep turning the thing every single day and build on to that resume.
[00:21:37] Do you want to be a teammate that is going to get invited to weddings from your other teammates when you get a little bit older?
[00:26:18] Failure is not permanent; it's a learning lesson.

[00:07:56] That 95% of all hires in basketball are done by non-basketball people, their ADs or presidents, or a committee.
[00:08:23] So unless you bring something else to the table, whether you're a great fundraiser, whether you can teach, whether you can maybe help out with another sport, it really enhances your opportunity to get the job.
[00:09:46] Somehow, I got the job. Again, not for my basketball prowess, but I could really run a camp.
[00:16:43] I had to understand that there's more coaching than playing involved. You can't just play with your kids all the time.
[00:17:28] I don't have a style. I really adapt to the players that I have.
[00:17:50] And that's because I've had so many mentors.
[00:18:14] I just had to relax and let my players take more responsibility.
[00:19:14] I know what I don't know, and I'm not afraid to ask for it.
[00:19:59] If you're a tough coach, if you're going to get on your guys, you must have a relationship with them off the court. It's imperative.
[00:21:09] The four H's are who's your hero? What are your hopes? Talk about your highlights. Tell me your history and what are your heartaches? And if you open up to kids about that, and I always start.
[00:25:52] Coaches, we stay in our box; we run the same stuff all the time. We only want to know what works. We don't ever ask coaches that we look up to, hey, what didn't work?
[00:26:10] Be the CEO of your own game. Know why your shot isn't consistent. Know what beautiful form looks like. And that is what I found at more of the individual sports that the high school and college kids take more responsibility for their game than the team sport players who just looked at you and say, you fix it.
[00:32:14] Remind me of the joy that this game has brought you and make sure that you use it every day.
[00:33:38] And I think the more we can embrace that versus the need to be right and to be perfect and to have everything lined up, we probably will be more successful.
[00:38:53] Our enthusiasm is the best part of what we do.
[00:42:13] It doesn't mean that you got to be their buddy, but just have genuine understanding of, I care about you more as a human being than I do as a basketball player.

[00:06:14] I offered myself up as a statistician there, and that's where I really decided that I thought I wanted to become a coach
[00:06:14] Basketball was actually my first love and my first coaching job.
[00:08:18] I had a lot of friends that had moved to California and they kept saying, you've got to move out here.
[00:09:34] I'd like to coach JV, build the fundamentals without all the pressure, not have to worry about rankings and fundraising and newspapers and parents, and just really build the fundamentals of a program.
[00:10:27] I decided that I wanted to become the Gary Dreher of softball. So, I would watch his practices and I would watch what he did
[00:13:43] One of the things that I really focus on is dealing with parents because that's a true love, hate relationship.
[00:17:29] I don't know if you've heard of Bruce Brown, but he does a lot of impact culture things.
[00:17:58] Respect the game; simple as work hard, play hard. Trust the process. Stay humble.
[00:19:03] You're co-designing your core values so that you have greater buy-in from the players.
[00:21:04] Teams with energy who like each other the most, win the most, talent aside.
[00:22:48] You've got to take care of the whole player and not just what's happening on the field, and not just the player on the field, you really do have to take into consideration what's happening off the field.
[00:29:06] She focuses on the little things, because if you focus on the little things, then the big things will happen.
[00:32:08] We need to help them process what's going on outside the gate. Because many of our players have been hurt by what's going on outside the gate.
[00:33:58] I would have given my players a voice earlier. And I think that's the biggest piece of advice. And also take more time for yourself.
[00:36:22] I think you have to be honest; you'd have to just lay it out there.

[00:03:45] It started off by me trying to get my goal, which is to get to the Olympics.
[00:04:24] I'm not going to take over no team. I'm not ready to do that.
[00:04:53] Once I got to Monterey High, I wanted to change the culture and make it a family.
[00:06:03] My coach was my family and you know what? I coached like that.
[00:06:36] Take care of your goals that you want. But don't forget about the program.
[00:06:56] We don't always get the best talent in the world. We have to make our talent. We have to put in so much time and I believe that's important.
[00:08:25] It's not about winning. It's about the journey.
[00:10:40] Our club is available. For anybody on the peninsula, anybody in the state, right? Because that's my job. As a national coach for California USA wrestling. I don't charge anybody for any of this. I can give that knowledge free
[00:13:32] I think the wrestling part was easy. That's easy. It was filling out paperwork. It was being a young adult. Was I ready to take the responsibility of somebody else, to be responsible for that student athlete?
[00:15:15] Technique beats everything.
[00:17:01] You have to be dedicated to your job, and you have to be honest with your athletes because your athletes could read you.
[00:21:39] I'm not one of those coaches like I said, I'm just set in one certain way. Can't do that because then I don't learn the kids don't learn now, wrestling is boring.
[00:23:06] That I have to adjust to the athlete; I have to because people react different. Everybody's different, and I have got so much better at recognizing.
[00:25:31] I can tell you that I had tried every sport before I tried wrestling.
[00:29:09] I had to learn myself to make sure my wrestlers are going to get better and believe in my philosophy.
[00:31:42] Always make yourself better every day. Teaching always challenge yourself every day as a coach, evaluate yourself as a coach.
[00:33:36] Any coach wants to call me or ask me about stuff, I think that's what we have to do is as coaches now is help the other coaches and we all be at one.

[00:04:16] You need to make yourself really useful so they don't have a reason to get rid of you.
[00:05:36] It's a good way for you to get to know the kids. And so, he had every new hire he made them coach the fall season to get them to know people in a different way.
[00:07:55] Recession-proof yourself, figure out ways to say yes to everything and eventually you'll find your niche and what you're good at.
[00:09:16] I think the biggest mistake I made was trying to become an authoritarian figure, find and hold authority. And I also think part of what we do as teachers and coaches, I think we fall back on how we were coached and how I was taught. And not reflecting upon maybe did I ever think about how I was coached? Did I really like how I was coached? You just fall back on what you knew.
[00:11:18] I make sure to get as much joy into the drudgery of practice as possible.
[00:11:55] We try to find goofy things to completely surprise them and to lighten things up.
[00:13:22] You have kids and parents putting all their eggs in one basket. Ice hockey out here is huge and lacrosse and these different things, and if that doesn't pay off you see these kids just being crippled by disappointment.
[00:15:23] He was a hockey player couldn't swim to save his life, but he saw angles and he would make these unbelievable assist passes. He was always thinking like a hockey player and it was awesome.
[00:17:20] I noticed you don't call them by names. He says, no, it's never personal. And I do that to make sure they know it's not personal. I'm not calling Justin out; I'm calling number 10 out.
[00:18:29] If you have an issue with a kid, do it privately. Don't do it in front of their peers.
[00:20:02] One, you have to look at what you or your team has. Two, if you're bored watching your kids’ practice, think about how bored they must be.
[00:23:41] I try to set goals that don't necessarily all point towards winning. They point towards success that will lead to winning if they match the goals. It's what I consider winning.
[00:27:20] You have to find a way to be authentic in the face of losing.
[00:28:46] Number one, it's not about you and I think back to my early days, and I realized it's all compensating for your own feelings of inadequacy.
[00:28:57] I tell people is especially younger coaches is reach out to the best people that you know of in the business and see what they say. The worst thing they're going to say to you is no.
[00:33:03] I would say to the young coaches drop in on other coach drop in on other practices, ask a coach, if you can watch a practice.

[00:03:24] I thought that college coaches it just wasn't really a profession that people actually got to do.
[00:03:58] It was like something that people won a lottery and that's how they got to have the coaching part be their full-time job. I've been fortunate. I won that lottery.
[00:05:26] If you want to be great, if you want to beat the competition it's an all the time thing.
[00:07:51] The importance of a clear message to the team, to the entire program day in and day out. I think setting that bar high. Never lowering it for anybody, no matter how good they are.
[00:09:06] Choose the hard right versus the easy wrong.
[00:10:23] The value of using different media forms to get to players, to connect with players.
[00:10:44] I think that another thing that to me is a non-negotiable is just, you know, the ability coaches to tell the truth and speak from the heart to their players that they're coaching and to the players that they're recruiting and to everybody else in their program.
[00:11:15] The good leaders that I've been around it's been much more of a under promise, over deliver mentality.
[00:12:22] That player, he's going to go that extra mile. He's going to find a way rather than an excuse.
[00:14:53] The most successful programs that have been around they've all done things intentionally within the team, within the structure of the program to create that culture.
[00:18:12] They put the team first and I know that all starts at the top.
[00:19:01] There's so many things that just transcend from one sport to another when it comes to that team component.
[00:21:06] A big turning point for me when I became a head coach for the first time in that you start to realize that coaching is so much more than just winning a baseball game. When you're coaching, you're with these players more than any other person in their lives at the college level. As a high school coach, you're more influential on these players than anybody else in their lives, other than maybe them, your parents.
[00:25:59] I've got to provide that same information for a player and say it in 10 to 15 different ways till it finally clicks for the player.
[00:27:00] I see too many players looking for mechanics to be this magic sprinkling dust that's going to turn them into the best hitter in the world, overnight.
[00:29:43] Always make sure you are where your feet are.
[00:31:24] There's three big reasons that I think multi-sport athletes are just so much better suited than single sport athletes.

[00:04:44] I started coaching my little brother's little YMCAs basketball team.
[00:05:29] I knew there had to be a better way.
[00:06:14] Keep it simple, play hard, just compete.
[00:07:09] I took a break to coach my son's youth flag football team, soccer, baseball, probably the best coaching experience of my life.
[00:09:19] We got to build it from ground zero.
[00:09:37] Every principal you have can completely change the trajectory of your athletic department or your school.
[00:10:24] Your rules get less and you tend to make decisions based on what's best for the kid versus what's best for you.
[00:11:33] If you want to be successful, you're going to have to put in time. There's just no, if, ands, or buts about it. If you're not willing to work at anything, you're not going to be as successful as you should be.
[00:13:00] I’m just a huge believer in getting good people to work with good kids.
[00:14:51] We do a ton of fundamental skills, ton of station work.
[00:17:35] You can tell a guy when he's organized right away.
[00:22:18] It gave me tremendous confidence because I was able to teach and coach the sport that I didn't know anything about.
[00:25:11] I was beyond intense and I would get after people a lot because that's my personality. I still am intense. I just pick my spots a lot better. It's about people and not everybody's the same person.
[00:27:10] You got to let kids know that you're there for them. And if you're the coach, you can't be their best friend, but they got to know that if they need you, you're available.
[00:30:56] Just trust yourself.
[00:32:52] I tell people that time flies and it flies even faster when you have kids.
[00:34:43] If you listen to older people, you can learn a lot of information that will make your life easier down the road.

[00:10:25] When my contract wasn't renewed, I would have liked to be on a six-month journey, but I was on a five-year journey of relearning and learning from other people on every level mid-major to BCS, to club, to everything, and I immersed myself back in it.
[00:10:40] I humbled myself really quick in a week. It was like, I'm just going to work. This is my calling. I'm not prepared to do anything else in life.
[00:12:10] I grew up playing three sports. I played every sport.
[00:13:19] Burnout comes from when you're not having fun.
[00:15:59] Learning to give a space and balance to support staff was huge.
[00:16:30] I just need someone that I trusted, and they trusted their own information, to when there was a dissenting idea that they would bring it to you. I didn't need to have someone just opposite which creates clunkiness.
[00:18:54] If you lose a game, there's an issue. You go over budget by a lot, there's a massive issue.
[00:21:02] The best thing you do is always tested by what would your players say and what would your past players say?
[00:22:05] The number one thing is find a solution to whatever problem. Identify problem, solve the problem.
[00:23:31] Creating an environment that creates problems, and then facilitating the solutions.
[00:23:50] Silence is a golden tool that coaches don't use enough. Where we ask the question and in four seconds, if they haven't answered it, we solve it for them.
[00:25:55] We often will condition our students and our athletes to become almost robotic where they stop seeking that solution on their own.
[00:31:35] Everything's set me off when I was younger, it didn't matter what it was.
[00:33:07] I'm still superstitious, but I've let some of that stuff go because it's just not healthy.
[00:35:14] It is standards and guidelines because the more rules you have, the more you have to police it. You keep it simple. And the reality of the world that the response is always, it depends anyway, because you don't know the context of any given situation. It just makes life easier for everyone.
[00:37:17] I just didn't want to over coach. And he goes no over coaching is when you make the bad decisions. That was the right call.
[00:40:10] But I wasn't prepared to make the decision cause if you do that and then you lose my four and then in the news and the press. Have confidence to deal with wins and losses.
[00:40:24] I think that the attention to detail and scheduling has been my biggest education and change.
[00:42:11] Ask more open-ended questions, not direct questions.
[00:43:05] If I would asked more open-ended questions, I would have informed myself better.
[00:45:53] If you go into a room of assistant coaches and you say Hey, what should we do against the game tomorrow? Here's what I'm thinking. You have now just privileged your opinion over any of theirs, because they're going to either agree with you or you're going to have somebody that's really big on dissenting opinion. You're almost better just to ask and be silent.
[00:49:28] How do you get information that's authentic without it needing to be right?

[00:01:42] When I was growing up as a kid even playing midget football in fourth grade, I'd go scout the other teams by myself.
[00:02:47] I signed up actually to go to officer's candidate school for the army. Hopefully go to airborne school, infantry school and ranger school and be an army ranger… So, I went back and coached football while I was just going to work out and bide my time to go to basic training in January.
[00:04:28] I'm a teacher-coach and how that plays out, whether I'm a coach in college, who's a teacher, or whether I'm a teacher who's coaching at high school one way or another I'm a teacher-coach.
[00:05:15] Yes, this is an actual job. This is meaningful. The impact you're making on individuals is going to be important.
[00:06:00] That's just your vehicle and you have a talent for it. It's your vehicle. And it's that proverbial ripple in the pond.
[00:06:17] This is really a vocation and an avocation. And that was a pivotal moment.
[00:10:46] One of the lessons that we learn in sports is not being afraid to fail. Saying yes, I will be a lacrosse coach, even though I've never played is taking some risk and putting yourself out there.
[00:11:33] FAIL: for all I've learned.
[00:12:55] The number one thing, and that I continue to have to work on is empathy and listening.
[00:13:32] I knew what I knew and I didn't know what I didn't know.
[00:13:47] I don't know the answer to that. Let me go find it out.
[00:14:53] I know what I know, but I don't know everything.
[00:15:59] The listening skills and being comfortable not knowing everything, asking better questions not feeling like you have to have all the answers.
[00:18:21] General Stanley McChrystal's metaphor: a leader as a gardener. You're creating this environment to allow people to flourish and yes, you are watering it and yes, you are maybe picking out a weed here and there and providing sunlight, but you're just providing this environment for your plants and for the gardener, and for us, our athletes, and our coaches to thrive.
[00:22:02] There's another level of joy that allows people to be free to express themselves as an individual and in the locker room and on the field. And then that leads to success on the field.
[00:24:18] We don't have leaders, then we're not developing leaders, so let's stop blaming the players.
[00:24:48] We pick these three-on-three games or small sided teams…Captains pick team. Seniors will pick. They're the captains of each team. They pick a team; they stay together for the whole year. We keep stats. We keep records. We do not coach when we play those games, they're a little, all small sided, three-on-three games. We never coach. We officiate, and we let them sort it out, but it's competitive and we keep track of records and stats.
[00:31:16] We love each other. We're going to focus on that. We're going to focus on doing as well as we can.
[00:32:59] We're going to try to prepare, and if you're not trying, if you're not aspirational, if you're not trying to compete, then you're not putting yourself out there and taking risks.
[00:35:00] Talking about inclusion, but not having really well-developed ideas of like, how do you create an inclusive culture?
[00:38:31] Really investing in mentorship. So that gift of mentorship to me; that's not a small gift or a small act of kindness. It's a huge one.

[00:03:03] I did need to quickly figure out how to filter my mouth a little bit…my heart was in the right place. Just needed to clean up the delivery a little bit.
[00:06:13] You got all these ideas in your head of how you're going to do it. Specifically, in track and field where you have lots of different events to learn. I knew I wanted to bring on some friends, coaches, former athletes and friends of mine. I guess the simple thing was you got a plan in your head. Of how it's all going to go. And then you realize you got to teach him how to walk, before you, you even run before you even jump.
[00:06:51] The need for help and delegation was super important.
[00:07:33] The quicker we can become self-aware of our own blind spots, our own strengths and weaknesses, and then make a choice. I need to go and grow that area and make it a strength, or I need to hire somebody to fill that spot.
[00:07:53] When you're young, you think you can do everything by yourself and as you mature, either you figure out how to do everything by yourself, or you realize, I need to find people that can do this better than me so that our kids and our athletes get the best service they can get.
[00:08:11] I just always try to go out and hire people smarter than I am.
[00:12:35] I am a football guy at heart and so I've always taken that team mentality into an individual sport. My main goal is always to try to get everyone rowing the same way. It's still, from an actual winning or championship aspect, how do we get to the final goal?
[00:13:21] Our very first championship we won, we didn't win because of guys who got one, two and three, we won because of the guys that got four or five and six.
[00:13:51] My number one motto is belief. Getting kids to believe in themselves is by far and away the driving goal of what we've tried to do from the team aspect. And then I think probably in the last five to six years, it's really been a focus of how much sport in general translates to life.
[00:16:59] I think you can take different models and then they got to work into who you are. And how you want to put them out. But I think continuous learning is the name of the game.
[00:18:38] His great piece of advice was you can't want it more than they want it.
[00:19:02] When I finally resigned myself to, okay, I can't want it more than them, which, it's like the line when I stopped yelling at you or talking to you, that's a bad sign, right? Like I'm giving up, which of course as educators and coaches, we never want to do, but you can lead a horse to water, at some point you that's another one, you get what you tolerate.
[00:20:54] When something goes wrong, I'm looking here first. What did I have to do with this situation? Maybe minimal maybe the whole thing, but that's been a growth maturity thing of owning your own stuff and really the blame game isn't going to get anywhere.
[00:22:40] It's you got to run a hundred meters in front of everybody and only one is going to win, risk, failure or whatever.Part of that shift then has also been embracing failure. Not being afraid to take risks. Realizing the more work we put in and preparation, the more we'll minimize some of those failures and risks but they're going to be there.
[00:25:06] I believe firmly in there's winners and losers, because again, that is what life is. But where can we grow? How can we help people, kids develop physically, mentally and move that needle?
[00:27:52] I think I probably talked too much back then and didn't listen, and now I listen more and find the right things. How can I push that same button with less words or less action, right?
[00:29:25] Every kid learns in a different way. If I had maybe known that earlier on more where, there's some people I can just tell and they do it. Some people have to see it here it. Some need video. Some need a pat on the back, some need a kick in the butt.

[00:01:27] I decided after my second year that I don't think college football or not, college football per se, but four-year college football wasn't for me.
[00:03:24] We have a date night every Tuesday, and then we even took it a step further to where my wife would bring our son to my practice every Wednesday.
[00:04:16] I knew I needed a mentor. I needed somebody that I was going to be able to learn from, somebody that could really teach me and show me what it means to be a head coach.
[00:05:00] When you speak with coaches, they talk about the importance of relationships, whether they believe that or not, or actually follow through and have action behind those words.
[00:05:49] Teenagers, as we all been there before, it's all about us. It's all about me. What can you do for me?
[00:07:46] The 10 years I was an assistant coach, and I took great pride become the best assistant coach I can be. It's been said that there's two important days of our lives. The first day is the day we are born. The second day is when you find out why you were born. I knew, then, this was what I was meant to do... was to lead young men, to serve young men, to teach their heart, to reach their heart and also win some football games along the way.
[00:10:11] Coaches. Quality coaches. Head coaches are only as good as their staff…I learned early on that I had to not only pour into the kids, but I had to pour into my coaches and then give them all the resources they need.
[00:11:29] We spoke affirmation. We spoke life into what we're about to do.
[00:11:48] I would envision every single day, every day. Envisioned what it looked like to be successful, what it looked like to get my first win, or what it looked like to bring a championship to that program, to that community.
[00:13:36] The thing about it is I don't care how much you don't know. I can care less how much scheme, X's and O's. All that can be learned. I cared about is, how are you going to relate to your position group? How are you going to relate to the kids? Are you going to bring the best out of them? Are you going to challenge them every day? Are you going to hold them accountable? Are you going to love on them? Are you going to allow them to love you back?
[00:14:17] There's two people in this world, people who watch and people who work, and I'm the one who's working.
[00:16:15] But more so I want to teach these young men how to be men and what that looks like. And it goes beyond just football.
[00:20:25] The world always makes room for people who know who they are and know what they're doing and where they're going.
[00:20:44] The road always makes room for those type of individuals. So, I'll make sure I surround myself with those very same individuals.
[00:22:01] A lot of coaches waste a lot of time during practice because they have lines of 10, lines of 8, waiting to get their turn and catch a ball or do what they need to do during that drill.
[00:23:15] I've learned that you can still be very efficient and tackling and be a very good tackling team, even without going full speed, full throttle , big collision, collision bang, bang to the ground.
[00:25:35] I lacked the confidence. I'm terrified of speaking in front of people. I didn't feel that I had the intelligence or the articulation to speak in front of my intellectual classmates…Art I've read your body of work. You are more intelligent and more articulate than you give yourself credit for. You have a voice. You need to share this voice. She said, people need to hear what you have to say. And it changed me.
[00:26:23] And even though I didn't believe in myself, coach, as many people go through this, even though we don't believe in ourselves, sometimes it takes an individual to believe in us, even though we don't believe in ourselves, but we believe what they're telling us.
[00:29:26] I've really took a lot of time to understand, not just setting goals, but also speaking them into existence, right? The whole law of attraction? But always speak to them to existence, but also working towards that to where it's a daily routine, of reminding us of those various goals, we set.
[00:33:46] I think about when I was a teenager, how would I respond to the coach I am today? How would that 17-year-old, six-year-old kid respond to the coach I am today? How would I react to him?
[00:34:08] I definitely now understand you treat every kid a little differently because of personality needs and wants.
[00:34:54] You connect with different kids differently. Some kids love to be coached hard and it brings the best out of them. Some kids fold, right? They quit, they won't even show up the next day because you ripped them, you got them good one day, right? Understanding that early on different part would have saved me a lot of headaches.
[00:37:20] I have to be myself. I cannot manipulate who I am or sugarcoat or pretend I'm somebody I'm not. I have to be authentic with me…I will have to make sure that community, that school, that environment is a good fit for me. I don't think oftentimes coaches consider that.
[00:38:27] As long as I have the kids who are going to buy in, I put together a good staff, we're ready to rock and roll.

[00:03:13] The three main coaches had over a hundred years experience in high school.
[0:05:30] When I interviewed for the job, I walked out of the office going, what am I doing? Why am I doing this?
[00:05:44] I knew I was going to go back to high school because I loved college football. I just hated recruiting. I was not interested in placating 18-year-olds for my career.
[00:06:22] I have this propensity to take outhouses and turn them into penthouses.
[00:06:49] A friend of mine told me, he said, Steve, you are committing professional suicide going to Del Campo. You said you will never win at Del Campo.
[00:07:09] Quite honestly, Justin, I wasn't really a football coach.
[00:07:32] I was a teacher and a strength and conditioning guy that happened to coach football.
[00:08:42] It was all predicated upon a year-round strength and conditioning program, which to me is absolutely number one.
[00:09:38] Everybody was running the wing-T and playing the 4-4-3 D-freeze. We were playing college football in high school in 1995.
[00:10:58] Most of this stuff was not my invention. Most of it was created by people that were much more intelligent than I, if I had a gift, it was taking what they know, packaging it into a system.
[00:13:10] I reached into a trash can and pulled out a practice plan for the USFL team that day, the LA team, and to this day, I still use exactly the same practice plan that I pulled out of the trashcan in 1980.
[00:16:05] If you think about it, Justin, we are in an Olympic model in high school. It's a four-year model. So, if your athletes come in as freshmen and they train and you teach them how to train. And then you refine their training as sophomores, and then you begin to add load as juniors and then refine that load as seniors. What you've done is you've created a product from a process and in America, we do not do that with anything. This is a credit card mentality. Do it now, pay for it later with interest.
[00:18:51] I don't care what you do. If you did push-ups and air squats and burpees and sit ups, and you did them three times a week, 50 weeks a year for four years, you'd have some very good athletes.
[00:19:27] It's not so much what you do, it's that you do it over time.
[00:20:40] The foundation of it is five days a week, 50 minutes a day for 50 weeks.
[00:21:14] E1 training. E2 training and E3 training. Meaning the three energy systems of the body.
[00:24:24] The system is focused on a school year, not a seasonal year. We strength train through the year.
[00:25:10] Speed of movement is much more important than the amount of weight that you lift. However, the caveat is you would have to use heavy loads to fire every Modo neuron. You have to lift heavy. You just don't lift heavy all the time. You have to lift fast. You just don't lift fast all the time.
[00:27:51] I don't like the idea of the Dawn patrol program. I don't necessarily embrace getting up at five in the morning and getting in the weight room at six and training until seven, showering and getting ready for school at eight o'clock, so that the students get there at zero dark 30 and their homework until nine o'clock at night.
[00:28:14] I would recommend the coach do is you need to block in a 20-minute period of time within the practice itself.
[00:28:37] When I was a head football coach, we practiced a hundred minutes a day.
[00:30:42] It was like lunch. It was like breakfast. Because we didn't not train for months only to start training again. We didn't have the latent soreness lag time because we trained 50 weeks a year for four years.
[00:32:30] If you train and you commit to it, longitudinally, it is amazing. The human body can do.
[00:34:21] Variation is the key.
[00:36:56] The practice plan is broken up into five-minute blocks, and there's 20, five-minute blocks. So, there's period 1 through period 20. So that's your hundred minutes.
[00:39:04] Two books. One of them is called the positive classroom instruction. The other one is called positive classroom discipline.
[00:42:18] You don't use punishment, but reward. If you accomplish the task, you eliminate the undesirable behavior.
[00:42:39] Instead of, if you don't do it, we're going to run, this is part of practice.
[00:42:56] If you were on time at practice, I waived your down-ups. Okay. We went a whole season without one player ever being late to practice.
[00:43:50] Sometimes our best decisions are made by other people.
[00:45:09] Some of my colloquialisms that I was using in the eighties and the nineties, are frowned upon in the 2020s.
[00:46:43] Our focus was not so much on quantity, but quality…
[00:47:00] I am not going to put two inside linebackers in the tackle box until you compress your offense.
[00:47:35] You compress, I compress.
[00:48:10] Football to me is it's a chess game executed physically. It's a math equation. You have three backs in the backfield. I need to have three linebackers. You have two, I need two, you have one, I need one…That to me is the most important thing at the high school level is fundamental football: alignment, assignment, responsibility. Tackling. And teach pursuit.
[00:50:48] I am very comfortable with next mouse trap. I never have been stuck in the model of, this is how we've always done it. This is how we're going to do it. I feel that I have an open mind to seeing what's out there.
[00:51:15] And if what's out there is better than what I'm doing, I'm going to start implementing that starting tomorrow.
[00:52:33] People are resistant to change because they think the change means that what they're doing is wrong. It isn't that it's wrong. It's just, what's going on now is better.
[00:55:03] This is going to come to you by mail, and if anybody that's watching is interested, they can go to my website at sstweightrooms.com, and they could also email me if they want at sstweightrooms@gmail.com. And if somebody reaches out to you and through you coach, I would be more than happy to give somebody my cell phone number if they want to give me a cell phone call or a text.

00:06:27 My goal was always to be a division three head coach.
00:09:12 My experience as a student athlete, I was able to do a lot of things outside of lacrosse and being just an athlete.
00:10:28 There's a culture in what I like to call the youth sports industrial complex, that it's division one or bust often. And what people miss is that if you play collegiate athletics at any level, you're part of the top 3% of the world's athletes.
00:11:48 My family wanted me to get back into it. My kids wanted to get back into it because they were already missing dad, the coach.
00:12:28 I felt that my skillset matched the needs of coaching professional lacrosse.
00:14:11 But I knew jumping into this at 24 years old, I had a lot to learn and I was.
00:14:39 I was extremely open to learning and having conversations. And I think such a big part of communication is not always speaking, but listening.
00:15:12 Worrying about the team dynamics, how to treat young men, how to gain the respect, how to gain their trust, how to trust them, how to respect them.
00:16:23 I think they played harder for us as a coaching staff because we respected them and they respected us. We trusted them and they trusted us.
00:17:40 You have to fail to become successful…Whereas if you're hard-headed and you're saying, I'm just going to do it my way and fine I fail, you're going to continue to fail and you'll be on the outside looking in.
00:19:18 You're looking at your failures as a growth opportunity rather than some sort of Scarlet letter that you did something wrong.
00:20:27 Building culture and then sustaining a positive culture is consistency. And how do you do that? It's all a process. It's a journey.
00:21:01 Giving a lot of autonomy back to your players, your student athletes, your coaches.
00:21:25 I personally think having one or two, maybe three captains is the right thing. And then you put almost sub captains below them. Teams have assistant captains.
00:24:17 Non-negotiables no palms up. How many times do you see athletes given palms up to their teammates when they make a mistake or an official on a bad call, or a coach on a decision?
00:26:49 As a professional coach, it's really communicating and having that relationship in that trust with those players.
00:28:40 I would go out and just schedule meetings with coaches to spend 15, 20 minutes a half hour in their office before their practice. Talk a little bit of philosophy and then observe practice.
00:29:04 Maybe more often than not, I learned how to not do things by watching some of those coaches. And I said, you know what, that's not for me how the coach X did things with his team, but I liked coach Y how he or she did things. I could see myself implementing that into my personality on how I see things to be.
00:29:58 My first and only objective with that young man or young woman is to love this game is to love this sport, to build their confidence.
00:31:42 It all comes back to the human being element of them, feeling good about themselves, them growing as a person.
00:33:56 My approach changed the most once I had my own kids.
00:37:00 I would sugar coat, why they weren't making the team to make them feel good about why they weren't making the team.
00:37:42 Coach, just shoot me straight. Yeah. Tell me why I didn't make the team.
00:38:26 We're always continually learning continually listening.
00:41:10 I think I changed and gained much more appreciation for what they got out of our program during their four years.
00:43:45 Seeing what these young people are doing after they play for you for four years and who they become in their careers like I said, then seeing them as fathers, like that's the greatest gift any of us could have is getting married and having a child, and to see them and how they interact with their families is what I love most.
00:49:19 Try to be successful, but that definition of successful, isn't always the same everywhere, but putting the student athlete first, creating standards and culture and growth opportunities for them, and worrying about the process of how you get there is what's they're going to take with them.

00:04:39 Trying to build a culture where people wanted to be here.
00:06:08 Trying to sell myself and let people know who I was and that they were going to get treated right. That empathy and that caring about people is really important.
00:06:24 I thought I was an okay head coach, but I always knew that I was a better assistant coach.
00:06:48 As AD, that's really my role. I'm everyone's assistant coach.
00:08:02 I have friendships in this department, but we also know that sometimes I do have to say no.
00:09:29 I used to love playing against somebody, watching film, and then the next time we played them in the conference, running their play against them and even calling it their team name or something.
00:10:11 It's so much easier for you as a head coach to adapt to 12 people than it is to ask 12 people to adapt to you.
00:10:33 You said you run whatever you want. Run what works for your guys? Here's a list of 12 things, terminology, I want them to know.
00:10:56 He used to ask me after games, he goes why don't you do this? Or why'd you do that? Because he was interested, but he really had no idea.
00:12:43 And I've had people say, Oh, you must be really smart. I was like, no, I just didn't stop. That's nothing to do with being smart. I just was able to continue to keep going. I didn't quit. And I think that's probably the other thing that I've learned in instill is just keep moving forward.
00:13:41 Develop the fundamental skills at an early age and they'll figure it out. They'll grow into their body and they'll be ready.
00:17:13 If you can put your defensiveness aside and realize that there's all these nuggets that were just offered to you, just out of curiosity, that you had never thought about. The world opens and it was something that I learned really quickly and have been able to grow as a professional and as a leader and as a coach, just by being willing to analyze the why of the decisions versus getting attached to the outcome per se.
00:18:09 You never let a good crisis go unused.
00:20:15 We're going to work on dribbling, passing, and shooting.
00:20:27 I've learned over the years that there's got to be that individual skill development for everybody.
00:20:44 Chip Kelly's practices at Oregon a couple of years ago and they do 12-minute increments. Four, four, and four. Four minutes individual, four minutes small group, and four minutes live 11 on 11.
00:22:58 Just because your kid is not a good athlete. Doesn't mean you're not a good parent. And I don't know if parents have ever heard that before.
00:23:16 If your team loses the game, that doesn't mean you're an awful coach. Means you lost a game.
00:25:10 You shouldn't have to yell at somebody, cause you're telling them the third or fourth time to do something. There's an issue. Maybe you're not saying it the right way. Maybe you need to go a different direction of teaching.
00:26:10 There has to be a little bit of collective responsibility in that failure sometimes that I think we just need to be aware of as adults and as leaders and supervisors or whatever we're doing that if somebody fails, maybe we're part of the problem.
00:29:15 When you get in the car on the ride home, don’t talk about the game. Unless the child brings it up, you don't talk about it. You just tell them, Hey, I loved watching you. That was great. It’s fun watching you play.
00:30:07 But someone needs to educate them and say, look, your role is a parent. You're not a coach. You're not a referee. And you're definitely not an athlete anymore. Your role is to be a parent and it's the best role.
00:31:21 I got to let my child have the experience and my child needs to learn to listen to an authority figure. They should not learn to look at me, and then the authority figure that triangle of communication has to be clear and they need to know.
00:32:14 Being a parent hard, man, it's really hard. And I don't know if there's a whole lot of support for other parents to know that, Hey, you're doing okay.
00:32:51 I often asked my athletes when they start getting into the mode of, let's say complaining, it's look, you want to play, you want to ref or you want to coach? Those are your three options. Choose. You can't do all three.
00:38:28 I'm going to compete every single moment of every single day, but it doesn't mean I get a trophy if I win or I'm going to get publicly shamed if I lose.
00:39:45 Things are never quite as good as they seem, and they're never quite as bad as they seem.
00:42:34 You're going to end up somewhere that is going to be the right place, but right now you have no idea what that right place is.
00:44:16 You can just search it on Facebook. It's Supporting Student athletes. Like the page. I've got my own Facebook page, Mike Herbert.

[00:01:35] I played at the university of Iowa and I actually never wanted to be a coach.
[00:05:05] Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
[00:05:39] I played in Germany for six years.
[00:08:24] I loved the way that Randi coached. We complemented each other during that time. She respected what I brought to the table and just kind of continue to build there.
[00:11:10] I will get so locked in on one specific part of the game or one thing that we're doing or not doing, and I let that take over and I forget about everything else.
[00:11:33] You got to be able to see everything that's going on. You got to be able to take yourself out of it so you can see what it really looks like, and then put yourself back in it so you can fix it.
[00:12:48] Figuring out the things that I can let go of and let him run with, even in the gym, the things that really matter to him and that he wants to teach we have had to work through getting him to feel comfortable.
[00:15:13] Hey, this is who we are. This is not who we are as a basketball person. This is not who we are off the floor. The minute you sign on to be a part of this program. This is what you were going to do. This is what's going to be expected of you on the floor, in the weight room, in the dorms, in the airport, on the bus.
[00:16:16] And then second of all, those expectations don't change.
[00:16:41] So now you don't have to wonder who you have to be or how you have to act in this situation.
[00:16:56] In order to do that and to bring life to some of the values and the expectations of who we're chasing our players to become, you have to be willing to have and take the time to have hard conversations.
[00:17:26] And I think that's one thing that coaches have a hard time giving up because practice time is so important.
[00:19:07] Randee's looking like big picture okay, we haven't made it a big enough point before we've talked about it.
[00:19:28] Obviously the message hasn't gone through and now what can we do? How quickly can we do something to avoid this happening the next time?
[00:20:02] Focus on the core values. Teach those. Behavioral standards are important consistently enforcing and speaking about them is what helps build and sustain your culture, and that leaning into difficult conversations, which most people avoid, is the quickest way to break down that culture.
[00:22:04] I've learned a ton by watching leaders in general.
[00:22:20] I worked with people with disabilities.
[00:22:40] I'm taking these people who have these disabilities that haven't done some of this stuff and I'm getting into believe that they can actually do this.
[00:23:29] It was like, man, this is like just such an amazing for others, like servant hearted person that I just wanted to be like that.
[00:25:58] I'm not going to leave this up to chance and we'll make sure you're doing what you need to do. I'm going to make sure that you are shooting these extra shots like this voluntary or optional gym time is really mandatory. It's really not optional. Like you've got to be there because you need to put in the work.
[00:26:53] I know nothing about choir directing, but I know this guy is good at his job. And it's because he's engaging. He's motivating. He's able to show its passion, is able to inspire people. All those different things. I can see that in a choir director, I can see it at a person working at drive through a Chick-Fil-A.
[00:30:26] I'm not in it for the wins, I'm in it for the people. And that's been challenging at different places. And I think too within that because that's why I do it, I've had to progressively work harder and harder to connect with my players.
[00:32:29] Tim and Brian Kight would say, If you're watching film and what isn't what you taught, you need to look at your teaching versus our knee jerk reaction when we're younger is they're not doing what we asked!
[00:34:08] It’s work and attitude. Those are the drivers and they can take people so far…
[00:34:30] They may not take you to exactly where you want to go, but they're going to take you somewhere, whether it's in your relationship, whether it's in the career, whether it's in within athletics. And those two things still go with me.
[00:35:04] Attitude and effort controllables. So those are things that regardless of circumstance, you can control, and therefore what I share is there's no excuse for not doing those things. The other things, we can't control, but what, I've stolen in COVID is we're a hundred percent responsible for our response to circumstances we didn't create.
[00:36:53] For me this year in particular with getting diagnosed with cancer and everything, I've spent a lot of time changing my mind about how I fuel my body. And it's not as coach related, so I have to think about it, but, and how I prioritize my time and what I do with my time because, I had this fear of how much time I have left and how can I prevent this from happening again?
[00:38:22] How we spend our time, what the value of practice actually is like in what you do in the practice time and how much time we as coaches are spending on nonsense.
[00:39:47] You don't need as much time as you think to get done what you need to get done.
[00:40:44] One thing that has changed is the way I view how good or great different things have to be.
[00:41:38] Everything is not going to be great.
[00:42:49] Sometimes done is better than perfect.
[00:43:24] Doing it alone does not make you stronger or better or smarter
[00:43:42] You're great. Go be great with it.
[00:44:11] Stay intentional, but to be patient and forgiving basically giving yourself grace as you build the culture that you love.
[00:44:45] If you want to go far or you want to go, whatever that saying is about going alone, you want to go somewhere significant, it's going with someone together and letting people help you.
[00:45:10] It's okay to get on the level of somebody else.
[00:45:52] Just get on their level. Bend down.

[00:01:25] I thought I was going to be Jason Kidd, and then I realized that I'm really not that athletic…I fell in love with the game through Xcel basketball camp, which was run by Frank Allocco.
[00:01:57] There are certain people that come in your life and we all have had them.
[00:02:45] He taught me so much about being a good person, working hard. Thinking that what you're doing is working hard, but really, you're not. Forcing yourself to do the things that you don't want to do, so you can become the person you want to become.
[00:03:35] If you're going to do it, you better be the best, or try to be your best.
[00:04:37] I had no idea that the people I would be around at that school would end up being my foundation of my coaching.
[00:04:54] You get so lucky in certain places you go.
[00:06:12] Brian Fogel was awesome. He took me under his wing and really taught me like how to be disciplined and the Davis way of doing things.
[00:07:08] And I'm somebody that has had a lot of stops.
[00:07:23] I haven't had the one school and you work your way up one place. I've been all over.
[00:08:55] I think once you get in or get lucky enough to be around people, it's how you treat people. It's how you connect with people.
[00:09:42] I was very fortunate that people saw something in me as a leader, not as a great player, because I was not that, but as somebody that can maybe inspire others and lead others.
[00:10:48] You're driving, by yourself, on the highway, and you're thinking about your life. I think all of us go through that, whether it's driving to college or it's when you leave college and you're going through that tough transition is what is my passion? Am I going to stick with this? And I think that very quickly, I knew there was no second decision…There was no, I think people call it now burn the boats. There was no alternative for me.
[00:12:04] I also realized that I had no idea of the inner workings of a basketball office.
[00:13:16] I learned how hard it was to coach players that you had played with.
[00:13:44] I realized that your first time you bring something to the table, it better be your best.
[00:14:00] Your first impression is your best impression and doing your work at a high level.
[00:14:13] Gary Stewart taught me that I need to know more than anybody in the room.
[00:15:15] You have to realize who you're recruiting for, what they want, what type of player they want.
[00:16:34] The same athlete cannot go to UTSA that goes to Rice. It's a different student athlete. So, you have to understand your audience.
[00:17:17] You had to be very direct.
[00:17:30] I just feel like with every year you're somewhere, every six months or somewhere, that program gets 20% more of you.
[00:19:43] It's what can you add value to the program and what it needs?
[00:23:15] Clink and I decided we're going to take every single thing out of this office.
[00:24:31] I didn't know how important scheduling was. I didn't know how important alignment with your athletic director was. I didn't know that. At times the way that you manage yourself in the department with all the other coaches was going to be more important maybe than anything else you did.
[00:24:45] I didn't know that I couldn't coach this type of player, but I could coach this type of player.
[00:26:34] At this time of year, I always get this weird feeling of huge gratitude.
[00:27:25] I can't believe I'm actually a college basketball player, and I get to be a part of this.
[00:27:35] I remember Brandon Laird, just being so gracious with me and being such a good mentor to me.
[00:27:45] Eddie Sutton that he did daily, which was just a sign in sheet. So, every day he had it outside of his office and I was in charge of it.
[00:28:04] And every guy had to come in and initial the sheet one time before practice.
[00:28:37] We had a coaches retreat and he was super diligent about assigning, and making sure that his staff knew what they were doing and what they're really responsible.
[00:29:38] I think that Jim Les, something that always stands out with me is every day before practice, he made sure the guys knew a pre-practice routine.
[00:30:26] And we used to put big white sheets of paper and we draw plays on the sheets of paper and put them on the sides of the bleachers or wherever we were on the road.
[00:31:26] Coach Taylor, we do something called win the day.
[00:34:23] Be super intentional about trying to meet those people. I'm going to go to the other coaches I'm around, but one thing that I've always tried to do, no matter what level was like, go have a cup of coffee with somebody that you really are inspired by.
[00:35:45] Each senior had a night where they gave the pregame talk and the last game of the year, and they do this at De LaSalle, all the parents come into that locker room.
[00:36:18] Davis has a stored football tradition, and Bob Biggs was one of the greatest leaders that I've ever been around.
[00:38:03] One thing that I really like seeing and asking coaches is how do you handle your stress?
[00:38:41] I think that you have to really respect your hallway conversations.
[00:39:08] At UTSA, I was really close to the soccer staff and soccer is conceptual. You're not running as many plays because you can't control the ball as well. And I remember them talking to me about small space games, and that was something that inspired me at.
[00:41:30] Coaches say that you speak to players differently when you have children. I don't know if my, how I speak to them has changed, but I will say that at times I realized that my time is so much even more important than what I thought it was then.
[00:42:42] Dedrique Taylor has actually taught me this now even more so is before you come to your coach, before you come to your administrator, you need to have more information.
[00:43:13] As Bob Williams used to say, Hey, Junior, calm down. And there's a lot of other stories that go with that, that other coaches have told me, but slow down. Really know the information at hand.
[00:45:43] I always say is run your own race.
[00:48:05] I was too worried about everybody else's journey and not my own. Take that moment to text your buddy that's having great success. And not just when they're struggling.

[00:01:32] It was actual accident. Believe it or not.
[00:02:20] So that was my coaching experience. So, I had none, zero.
[00:02:55] So next door is George Raveling. Now I'm awestruck.
[00:04:17] I found myself squatting as if I'm the head coach, I'm off the bench now. I'm yelling at guys sprint, get back, get in the lane, do all these different things. And from that moment, I fell in love with coaching.
[00:05:40] Sole Brothers from a basketball standpoint happened by accident. From a philanthropic standpoint, it fell in my lap.
[00:07:49] I jokingly said, damn bro, you killed us in Vans? You can't even wear hoop shoes. He was like, nah, what happened, the guy who I usually share shoes with couldn't make it to the game.
[00:09:05] His coach approaches me and said, Hey, man, I just want to tell you something. He's been playing our program for two years. He's never owned a pair of basketball shoes. So, he said, listen, he's in the corner right now, he's in tears. He's so happy, so ecstatic. Because he's never owned a pair of shoes.
[00:11:08] You care about people more than you care about the sport. So that's how my mentality has always been as a young coach and as the, now a veteran coach.
[00:11:30] I've just been fortunate to be surrounded by a lot of good guys, good women good mentors, good directors.
[00:12:36] As I got older, I learned it's that guy at the end of the bench who actually needs the most attention because he's not going to go on to play in college. She's not going to go on to play in college, but she might be CEO of something. And that's the one that's going to help that superstar. That's the one who's going to help you and donate to your program when you start a program.
[00:13:54] I wish I would've known, definitely, you don't need to get all of your tidbits from someone in your profession. When you're the head coach, you're not just running a team, you're running an organization.
[00:14:52] You may even go to just a business guy. How do you run your company? How do you run your office? What is day to day life? How do you keep the morale up?
[00:16:04] You're also teaching these young men and young ladies that organization is important. They now become better students. They now become better wives. They now become better husbands and now become better employees because they got that structure.
[00:16:56] What I've learned after 25 years is you don't need all that figure out who you are, what you believe in what group you have in the gym, and then, reload, repeat and keep it simple.
[00:17:41] You got to work outside of your comfort zone.
[00:18:05] You're going to love and hate every practice we have. You're going to love it because you're going to get better, but you're going to hate it because you're going to work hard…You're going to be uncomfortable. And this is not going to be the first time. So, if you play for me, you're going to be uncomfortable and it won't be your last time.
[00:19:35] I've become a lot more empathetic…I've also learned that when you criticize, when you get on a kid, when you rip a kid, I mean, rip him. I don't mean you should have made that, but I'm telling you just lay into him, there needs to be a follow-up. Whether it's after practice during practice, or as soon as they do something positive, you better be the loudest person in the gym; that gives you cache.
[00:20:20] I was in a motorcycle accident and it was near fatal.
[00:21:13] So once everything got healed, and I got back into coaching, everything became bigger than coaching.
[00:21:52] Now when I'm teaching a kid or talking to a kid, I care about the kid. Even if I never see him again, after the two years he plays with me or four years, he plays with me. I care…So, I've learned to cherish every moment and project that on to our athletes or my athletes.
[00:24:42] It made me a better person. It made me a better player, because it taught me at that young of an age, you can't take things for granted. You can't assume anything.
[00:25:00] If you've never experienced adversity as a player, you can't empathize with your student athletes. You can't. You need to be able to tell stories that you've experienced what they've gone through.
[00:26:26] That's the number one thing as a coach. If they can't relate, if you're on a totem pole, you're high up and they can't get through you only through assistants, emails and text messages, you got to find a new profession.
[00:29:04] Number one thing you take out of it is the person they are. When you talk about the greats and the most influential coaches, no matter what sport it is, you always hear that they were good people.
[00:33:17] I stayed back. I actually apologized to him. Because I told him I lost my cool, whether I should have kicked you off the bench or not is a separate discussion, but we should have never gotten to that point.
[00:33:59] If that situation hadn't happened. If I hadn't gone back to him and told him I made a mistake, I don't know that our relationship isn't the same. And I probably would bet money that he and I are going to be friends for the rest of my life.
[00:35:29] The student athlete needs to know that they're supported by administration. Administration needs to know that they're supported by their coaches. And their coaches need to know that they're supported by both parties.
[00:36:47] You're not coming in and saying I'm going to do this and this it's I need to gather information. I need to understand the situation. I need to understand the clientele. I need to understand my bosses. I need to understand what I'm working in, with, and for before I can make any decisions.
Retired Colonel, Dewey Mosely joins the podcast to discuss the ways in which preparation, integrity, teamwork, equality and fairness, and the benefit of competition, learned through athletics, prepared him for his 29 year career in the US Army.

[00:01:56] My big picture plan was graduate and go to law school and practice law.
[00:02:59] I couldn't get enough clinics. I couldn't get enough camps, summer camps and whatnot.
[00:03:46] I've had an opportunity to learn from those people and to realize that what we do is important.
[00:05:23] I had the opportunity to coach a professional team. Which was a fascinating experience.
[00:06:41] I was offered the head job and I did that for about 15 years.
[00:07:02] Athletics is a full-time gig and teaching's a full-time gig.
[00:07:20] I've always felt as a coach in general, my job is to train my successor and I think we did a good job of training up our younger coaches, much like you did at El Camino.
[00:08:58] You leave things better than you found them.
[00:10:07] Sports as a metaphor for life.
[00:11:03] The first thing that I have figured out is, A, I don't have all the answers and B I don't have to have all the answers. And when I don't have the answers, I've gotta be humble enough to ask the right questions.
[00:11:19] I have a quote from a really good friend of mine, Marty Lombardi. One of my favorite names, Marty Lombardi from North Beach. And he says, "we're all practicing for adulthood." And, it keeps me centered on what's important. And it's not about me, it's about we, and you said it a moment ago, being part of something larger than yourself.
[00:14:08] I've talked recently about how quickly culture can change and when it changes quickly, it's typically not for the better.
[00:16:06] We’ve adopted a model that we use in Nevada Union called athlete committed, which is an organization run by a guy named John Underwood.
[00:16:22] What Athlete Committed does is it focuses on things like sleep, nutrition, strength, and conditioning, discouraging blue light, all those things that we know are important and there's a lot of science behind it.
[00:17:30] And I don't have all the answers and everyone, every school has its unique challenges and opportunities, but I think there's nothing that replaces experience.
[00:17:49] Because those people have been in my shoes before and, they have some institutional memory.
[00:19:10] We would always bring teams in from the city, and would give us an opportunity to work with kids to have an opportunity to meet with kids that were different than the kids in Nevada County.
[00:21:43] If you're playing football, there's a certain toughness that's needed. If you're running cross country, it's a different type of toughness because you're out there running and to quote one of my colleagues, everything in your body, he is telling you to quit and you have to keep going…and then water polo. I always say, look, you're in a sport where they're trying to drown you, and you have to stay above the water and compete. So, any one of them is a win. Pick. It doesn't matter. Just dive in.
[00:22:35] Our family rule was is that you had to do something extracurricular freshman year.
[00:23:42] The house rule at my house is you're going to go on the sophomore wilderness trip, which is 11-day backpacking trip that our school runs, and you're going to play three sports a year until you can decide you want to pursue something at an elite level.
[00:24:16] Learning how to star in the role you have.
[00:26:30] I’m a big proponent of having big staffs.
[00:27:48] I'm going to have to accelerate that trust process.
[00:28:38] I think humbling yourself to not having to do everything yourself and to go find stuff out. Educate yourself. Use the resources around you, and my experience in every facet of my life.
[00:29:43] If there was a tiddlywinks competition, they would, I compete.
[00:30:00] The people were so willing to share a practice plans and how to deal with this, that, or the other and share forms and all the things that when you're first starting out, you have no idea. You don't even know what questions to ask.
[00:31:23] When you're in the trenches early on and you're looking across the bench at the rival, you're not always willing to go talk to that guy and often, or that gal, that's going to be your best resource right there in the same league with you.
[00:32:14] It's a relatively small community. And so, we've got to support one another. We need one another, we need opponents. We need colleagues.
[00:32:20] We need more of this collaborative effort versus kind of sniping one another and bringing negativity to the profession.

[00:01:39] I've been very fortunate to, to be where I'm at.
[00:02:21] My first year here at Iolani school, I was probably the best paid maintenance man that you could find.
[00:03:14] He was making sure I remembered where I came from and that he wanted me to know that even the smallest of jobs mattered.
[00:05:16] You're going to move 12 inches to your left. And now you're the head coach and that's going to be the biggest step you're going to take, and he goes, you're never going to be ready. You might think you'd be ready when you never going to be ready.
[00:06:46] They slowly broke me into being athletic director.
[00:08:50] The philosophy of the school, hasn’t changed. It has grown and it has branched out.
[00:11:41] That's what sports are about, learning to be part of something bigger than yourself and learning to play your role, whatever that might be and contribute to the greater good.
[00:12:32] Because we here on an Island we're exposed to very limited resources in terms of professional and college. We don't have a professional team here, whether it's football, baseball, whatever.
[00:15:10] You got to be organized. You got to know what you're doing. You can't just go out there and go to practice and figure it out on the fly.
[00:16:55] We're pretty tight knit group of football coaches here on the Island.
[00:19:08] I don't think I've changed too much, I think my core values are still the same from day one. Maybe how I go about presenting them.
[00:21:17] I tell these young guys, Hey, success, ain't going to come overnight. It takes time.
[00:23:55] He always used to tell me, enjoy the now.
[00:26:51] That feeling of Family, they call it Ohana here, of caring about one another, is special. They talk about the Aloha spirit, and I think you asked how could the world become a better place? I think even more people had the Aloha spirit, this world would be a whole lot different.
[00:30:02] "It ain't rocket science, man."

[00:01:37] Something happened in 1972 that changed my life, and that was the passage of title nine.
[00:02:45] I started in volleyball and then moved to basketball, and in the spring, I played whatever my friends were playing.
[00:05:21] I played that freshman year behind an All-American, four time All-American, an amazing post player. My job was to try to guard her every day.
[00:05:43] I decided that I wanted to play for somebody that I wanted to play for my senior year, so I transferred to UNLV for the Running Rebels.
[00:06:40] I knew I wanted to be an athletic director someday so I stayed on at UNLV, got my credential.
[00:08:00] I don't think I want to be on the road. I don't think that's what I want to do. I think I want to be back in my hometown and a job came open.
[00:09:16] And I realized that my forte was more in the leadership and overall belief of the athletic program.
[00:10:33] I have had the dream job of my life since I started.
[00:11:51] Hey, let me go to this convention is intriguing for most, but there's always a reason people don't do it. So, give us your hard sell and three or four bullet points as to why that has been transformational on your journey.
[00:14:48] You need to be a flashing, blinking neon sign for what you believe in.
[00:16:44] So there is a lot of things I have to learn and I honestly believe this job I have now never had the same day, never in my 20 plus years have I had the same day on this campus.
[00:18:41] Because we cannot pay coaches enough. They are invaluable. They are the most amazing resource that we have at our school sites. They make connections with kids. They make a difference in their lives. We can't appreciate them enough.
[00:22:11] Our best time of the day is walking around and seeing you coach, it's seeing you with your kids.
[00:23:30] Our schools are all using positive behavior intervention and support. It's a program that goes from the positive, right. We look for the good, as opposed to punishing the bad.
[00:24:09] That’s what kids want... attention. I think coaches do too.
[00:27:55] It's about sharing best practices with each other.
[00:32:16] It is important for you as a coach and for us to know what's going on in our bubble.
[00:32:52] It's so hard for new coaches. There’re so many things. And there's just so many things to learn. You just don't know where to start. You got to start with what's most important to you and then move up.
[00:33:27] If it is important for me as a basketball coach for kids to be on time, then I should be in the gym 15 minutes early.
[00:34:34] What's important to me, they should know by my actions.
[00:35:39] What do you think has been the most challenging component of being a woman in a profession that is statistically dominated by men?
[00:39:40] However, being a woman has some really great opportunities.
[00:41:18] Do I think it's fair sometimes? No. But I'm not sure life is fair. So, I take advantage of those opportunities and I try and bring them back to our area.
[00:42:43] Fair is not equal.
[00:44:25] I probably would change is the balance between family and work.
[00:45:33] Our coaches, our athletic administrators are the ones who people see, and they are the ones who they come to for help.
[00:46:43] Know that you're going to make mistakes. Know, that if you come with what was best at the time that you thought, and you did, you made the best decision with the information you had, it may be wrong.

TeachHoops members have direct access not only to the incredible database of resources, but also to Coach Collins as he prioritizes being available as a mentor for his members.
[00:01:42] I Never really made a decision ever to be a coach or not. It was like, one of those things where I just knew that I would be.
[00:03:00] I relate it to the priesthood. Heard a guy years ago, he said, if you can get out of the priesthood, you probably should. If you cannot, it's your calling? I think that's coaching, at least for me, anyway.
[00:04:00] Real quickly, you learn you don't know as much as you think you do.
[00:05:04] It would have been different at each school.
[00:06:01] When I coached high school, we never had anybody who didn't graduate. When I coached junior college, we had 109 out of 115, only six guys, 19 years of did not graduate go to four-year school. At Sac State, we're 42 out of 43.
[00:06:42] I always say this do your words and your actions line up? If they do you're authentic, if they don't, you're not.
[00:08:22] Carol Williams, Dick Davey model is pretty much what we do and that wasn't intentional. It just happens. You're a product of who you are for sure.
[00:09:24] Never hire anyone who's not smarter than you.
[00:12:42] I think players and coaches, when things get tough, what are you going to do? Are you going to bail out and blame others, or are you going to be loyal?
[00:14:04] If the person is loyal and if the person is hard working, we'll figure out recruiting.
[00:15:38] If you really understand what you value and also that you don't know everything, and you want to have culture built on honesty.
[00:18:17] I realized that all of my friends, all of my friends are older coaches, every single one of them.
[00:19:56] The head coach’s ability to get everyone in the organization to see the game through his eyes. Every person from the manager, to the trainer, to the strength coach, to the 15th man, they have to be able to see the game through the head coaches’ eyes.
[00:22:46] I didn't really network. I never networked. What I did was I tried to work really hard at the craft of the game.
[00:25:28] It's not so much me, it's who I recruit.
[00:26:46] I keep talking about patience. Be more patient. Everything doesn't have to be done today, and everything doesn't have to be done perfect.
[00:27:56] You inherently build in the why before they even ask
[00:29:07] I believe you're recruiting everybody who you interact with every day.
[00:30:41] We call it big brother, little brother.
[00:32:06] He calls the safe chair.
[00:32:52] Culture of honesty.
[00:34:23] I think the key is to get really good at your craft so, bear with me on this, you can win enough to have the fruits of relationships come back towards you.
[00:35:47] I like the off season better than during the season because the off season, you have eight months of really enjoying your players.
[00:37:58] I tell players, Hey, our relationship will truly begin when you are not playing for me anymore.
[00:40:33] So I sought Terry out. I invite him to work my camp, take him out to lunch and we'd talk. So, the relationship grew to the day and we're still very close.
[00:43:26] I think the biggest deciding factor will be your family, and here's why.

[00:01:39] Hey, just come out, help me out until you start school. And so, did that. He liked what I was doing and asked me to stick around in January.
[00:01:54] If you plan well, if you prepare well, if you have a structure, the right way, then you can have success.
[00:03:08] So, I realized it was me, none of the coaches, nobody else. It was just my mindset.
[00:03:41] Hey, what do you think about moving to Southern Utah?
[00:04:20] She hated her job so much. She didn't care. We thought $10,000 was a lot of money.
[00:04:35] We would figure it out. So, we got the opportunity here. Scang calls me back three days later, telling me he's not coming. I don't know if you've got a job. So, he ends up staying at Davis for another year before he takes off with his career, but Coach Lamb was a man of his word and kept me on and ended up being crazy.
[00:04:54] I had to go take 21 units at Davis and some JCs around just to graduate and get the job.
[00:05:15] So he's, look, we've got a full-time job. Do you want it? And I was like, coach, I have no idea what I'm doing. Coaching defense. I played running back. But I promise you I'll bust my ass. I'll work my butt off for you.
[00:06:54] As a defensive coach, I didn't know anything. I was, they were talking about spill lever and four eyes, and I was like, what are we doing?
[00:07:28] The challenge of being a young head coach, to be honest was just, managing men.
[00:07:59] I wish I knew that going into those next couple of years because the motivation doesn't stop once you win, it's actually gets a lot harder and for coaches more than players,
Demario Warren: [00:09:03] You got to give great direction. Uh, let guys know what you expect from them. Let people know the rules and the conflict resolutions; how we're going to do things on a day-to-day basis.
[00:09:55] So, I had to use my personality. I am cheerful. I am trying to be positive all the
[00:11:37] We have a culture, we talk about it and we try to drive home those lessons, and not only those, but some different tools like compound interest, how to write a check. Just things that shows that you care about somebody.
[00:13:09] I’ve been a part of some great programs. I think, Coach Wilson at Fairfield has giving me that planning.
[00:13:26] And Coach Biggs was the person that cared for me outside of football. I had a kid at 19, and my mom was a single mother at 15. I was going to drop out and I was going to just start to support my family because I didn't have my dad around and I didn't want to be not supportive to my family and Coach Biggs and my mom and some other people. But Coach Biggs was the one that said, Hey, you can do this.
[00:13:59] He always had a shirt that had no bad days on it. He also had a shirt that says piss excellence, but that was a different.
[00:15:20] I think first was there when I first got into coaching, I didn't know much, so it was more, I just need to bring energy every day and that's still important.
[00:15:55] I think as I got set in my ways, I was like, all right, this is how you play defense. It's the only way I play defense. But, in this profession, I understand things are going to change.
[00:16:22] I think the one thing that I tell all young coaches, you got to set a plan, not only goals, how are you going to achieve those goals?
[00:18:08] I'm a boring person. It's my family and as long as I got them, I'm really good, and my work. I work a lot.
[00:18:27] But I guess the advice would say is if you want something, if you want to reach your goals, you might have to take risks.
[00:18:49] If you get the opportunities and then the money is secondary and as long as you can continue to grow in your profession, and not have to worry about money, then you got to take the chance and if you're single, you know how family, you got to go.
[00:20:05] But I think there's a lot of people that just want to do quality work, where they're at. And that, to me, that's the best way to go is to be the best coach you can be at your job because at the end of the day, when you get hired from somewhere, it's the assistants that they're going to call. Or it's the AD or the janitor that works with you.
[00:20:44] I think if you approach people and you're genuinely just trying to learn, they're a lot more receptive of you
[00:23:28] Enjoy the simple times…You just always feel like you take the wins for granted and the losses you took way too hard.
[00:24:21] I would say enjoy the good moments more. And just understand that the bad moments are just learning experiences.
[00:27:22] If you're not living by your culture, how do you expect the people behind you to do that?
[00:28:02] Leave no doubt, 8:54.
[00:28:35] There's lessons to be learned in every failure. You might have to dig deeper than the surface, but there's some things that you can learn from, for sure.

[00:01:28] I come from a background of educators and coaches.
[00:01:55] Playing multiple sports.
[00:02:21] I made varsity as a freshman. My parents thought that the coach made a mistake.
[00:02:40] Decided senior year to play basketball or volleyball in college, went with volleyball. Mostly because of my mom. She really wanted me home for Christmas and she knew that if I played basketball, I would not be home for Christmas.
[00:03:35] I thought, why not try this coaching thing? Let's give it a whirl.
[00:04:16] It was a really big eye-opening lesson for me.
[00:06:05] I had to separate, and I still do, have to separate myself as a player, and myself as a coach.
[00:07:44] I was always good at a lot of things, but I never felt I was great at one thing. So, to compensate for that, I always had to outwork everybody.
[00:10:32] But when I became the head coach, I had to separate for a while so that I could create my own identity as a head coach.
[00:12:01] My entire life philosophy, just in everything I do is leave it better than you find it.
[00:13:14] The best coaching I've ever done is when I didn't have to get off the bench.
[00:14:45] I think the first thing is having core values; that looks different for every program, but having those three or four things; this is what our program stands for.
[00:15:11] Book club for each of the grades within their program.
[00:16:28] The other thing that we do in our program is called iron buddies. Originally, it's a biblical reference: "iron sharpens iron."
[00:18:59] I actually really don't enjoy going and watching volleyball. I don't enjoy it.
[00:20:27] I really learned to watch from is Walt White, our baseball coach. I'm constantly picking his brain about stuff. Emily Schmidt, our water polo coach, her and I are in the same path as far as being here and took over around the same time.
[00:21:54] I think that I have an advantage because I coach a female sport and it was a female athlete. I think that's one thing that my male colleagues can't, they just, they're never going to be able to. Connect with. And I think it'd be a disservice to my athletes to not use my own experience in that way.
[00:23:41] I've had to really work harder at the X's and O's part of coaching, because I am a natural athlete and a natural workhorse.
[00:26:24] Modeling the communication that I have with some of those veterans in front of the freshmen and the transfers.
[00:28:50] Forgiveness is a super powerful thing, and I don't think that coaches are told and taught that very often. I have made so many mistakes as a coach.
[00:33:00] I didn't take the time to get to know my freshmen in a way that was meaningful.
[00:35:43] One of the first questions I ask recruits is, do you play multiple sports? Because here's what being a multi-sport athlete taught me.
[00:38:30] One of the things that I've noticed a lot with, most often with multi-sport athletes is they handle pressure a lot better.
[00:40:46] Having adults, whether it's parents or coaches or siblings that say it's okay to be multi-dimensional.

[00:01:44] I was working as an agent…then Coach Fogel gave me an opportunity of a lifetime.
[00:02:49] Most people will frown at that, and look at that, I was just excited to be there and super appreciative.
[00:04:21] We won 52 games in two years…as you become a head coach, you start to understand the little things like culture.
[00:04:57] He asked around who he should hire. And for some reason, my name continued to come up.
[00:05:37] I wasn't there to please them. I wasn't there to win them over, or I was just there because Sonny asked me to be there and When Trent Johnson speaks, you listen.
[00:06:15] How to build a program, how to change culture, how to change mindset, how to hold guys accountable and only stand for their best.
[0:06:45] The biggest difference is as an assistant, you think you have all the answers, but when you become a head coach, those answers become decisions.
[00:07:15] There's been 26 pros that have left us, graduated and gone on to play professional basketball.
[00:08:21] That assignment has to get done. I'm going to take time to do that. That to me is professionalism.
[00:10:50] Learning where you are and what that entails and what you represent, I think is super important.
[00:12:08] Make friends with the manager or graduate assistant.
[00:12:50] I learned that I can't coach everybody.
[00:13:11] I look for are high character guys.
[00:14:09] Understanding who you are and what you can and cannot tolerate and then what you won't tolerate, I think is important is just the same.
[00:15:38] If you take the word assistant and you take the root of that, it literally means to assist them in being successful.
[00:17:36] Hey, this is where I'm not good. This is where I'm good.
[00:18:58] I'm more consumed with is making sure that you understand that's a good shot.
[00:20:15] I would ask a million questions. What are you watching? Why are you watching that? Why are you looking over there? Explain that to me. What did you just see that you wrote down in your notes?
[00:20:55] Everybody thinks that I went to work for Nevada for the opportunity. I ain't that smart. I went to work at Nevada because I wanted to be next to David Carter.
[00:21:37] We had to wear a polo or collared shirt, slacks, and hard sole shoes as a coach.
[00:23:22] He shows up in my program every day. The way that I write our practice. The way that I conduct myself in practice. The way that I conduct the film session.
[00:27:10] Be responsible for the energy that you bring to the space.
[00:27:54] Be responsible for your own energy. Don't allow and don't wait for someone else to tell you how you should be, how your energy should be.
[00:29:37] The energy bus is life changing.
[00:30:36] If you can be better on Wednesday, then you were today. That's all I'm asking for.
[00:31:21] Always tell the truth. I can't help you if I don't know the truth.
[00:32:31] You think it's all about the X's and the O’s, right? That is like 5% of what you do as a head coach. The other 95, you're solving other people's problems that you didn't create, that you don't even know how it became a problem.
[00:33:33] We have three things offensively and we have three things defensively that we do with our staff.
[00:36:10] How you respond to a problem that you didn't create; you are 1000% responsible for that.
[00:37:38] I would tell young me to slow down and appreciate the opportunities that are before you, whatever they are.
[00:38:32] Don't chase money. Chase success and the money will follow you.
[00:41:38] What is the Think Tank that you guys do for the young assistants?
[00:48:52] You can build your own affinity group with the coaches on your own campus, coaches around you.

[00:02:00] Every coach that I had played for, I still remember their name; I still have relationships, and every one of them made me a better person and a better player.
[00:02:24] I've worked really hard to try to give that back to what's been given to me.
[00:02:45] Coming out of college though, I honestly, I went and worked in the tech world.
[00:03:03] Aweek before the season started, he hired me at Redwood High School.
[00:04:37] That second year, at Elk Grove, which was, 2002, I then asked him, can I be the JV head coach?
[00:05:07] My father coached for a long time in Sacramento. And, I watched him coach my whole life.
[00:05:53] So I felt I had a good background. I just needed to learn how to do it.
[00:10:06] Really to how to build a program from the ground up.
[00:10:41] How to build an identity, and try to win with less talent.
[00:11:45] Learning how…to manage a work life balance.
[00:12:01] I tried to put 27 hours into 24.
[00:12:24] The support of your family and your partner, you can't even put in words how important that is.
[00:13:08] I just wouldn't be able to do that. Without having, a family that's involved and supportive.
[00:15:07] It was a challenge and I underestimated, and I should've known better in retrospect, just the importance of making solid connections with your players and your families, and just know that success takes time.
[00:16:26] So, the feedback that I get is: we have a real, family culture in our program…I try to really have fun, like competing on the court and off the court.
[00:17:22] We got to work our tails off. We got to play our tails off, and then we have to have fun doing this.
[00:17:57] Give the opponents, we play, an immense amount of respect, because we play in a really challenging league. =
[00:18:47] We really work hard at trying to create effective leaders.
[00:19:39] We recognize the parents that make an impact in our program and in our community.
[00:20:56] But these are guys that have taken charges for our program…These are guys that are opening the door for an elder person at the church on Sunday…And the relationships that I've forged with so many of the players that I've coached, it's just, it's unmatched.
[00:23:07] I just want to be in the gym…I learned that if I don't tone it down, then you know, I'm just, I'm not going to make it.
[00:23:38] Come February, if you don't have your locker room, with you, then you're not going to accomplish very much.
[00:24:09] Understanding the rhythm of the season and then the intensity that I need to bring or more often, not bring.
[00:24:45] I've learned not to play such an emphasis on the outcome of games.
[00:25:08] They might not grow up to be the CEO, but they could be a darn good employee that makes an impact on that company.
[00:27:03] I try to surround myself with people that are going to make me better and not just tell me what maybe I want to hear.
[00:27:58] It's like seeking the answer versus seeking, the knowledge and that comes with maturity.
[00:28:38] I talk to coaches. I think the fellowship and coaching is super important and it's needed if you're going to coach, for a long time and it's needed, if you're going to make the biggest impact that you coach, so those relationships, that's where you get good stuff too.
[00:30:09] So I think if you live in that chamber and you don't get that feedback, then you're really missing out because we're giving feedback every day as a coach.
[00:32:56] The practice facility is a cherished place for coaches
[00:33:26] Are you modeling your culture? And so, I think the best coaches I've watched, like literally live and breathe and model that every single day.

[00:00:58] I never actually thought I was going to be a coach.
[00:01:20] I started playing park ball when I was 13 and I was the only girl.
[00:01:52] Gina was probably my first introduction to good coaching.
[00:02:30] She was the first person who had taught fundamentals.
[00:03:27] I transferred to a school I'd never seen.
[00:04:14] The culture of the team was poor…I had teammates that would yell at me for going too hard in practice.
[00:05:55] I just went to my old coach and just said, Hey, I really have a passion, how could I be a part of building this program up and growing it?
[00:06:28] And then unfortunately, a really close club coach friend of ours who was coaching at Stevenson at the time, Mike Woodie, passed away very unexpectedly and he was very close to all of us.
[00:07:24] So, I was commuting about 120 miles a day to take those freshmen through their senior year.
[00:08:34] There's a repeating theory here, I'm going to stop.
[00:11:22] The first thing I learned as a coach was everyone's not the same. They don't learn the same. They're not motivated the same. They don't think the same.
[00:11:59] I was pretty scoreboard focused.
[00:12:48] As I progressed, both in age and experience, I really learned that, and as jumping into a head coach, I learned there's so much more to the game.
[00:14:18] I've learned that because of how involved parents are, I think more so now, that, you have to find creative ways to implement them into your culture and your program.
[00:16:18] And ultimately, as you said, we're here to serve the kids.
[00:17:30] Before that parent comes in, I will give them a list and say these are the things that I want you to watch during practice, and I want you to take mental notes.
[00:21:23] I didn't understand culture.
[00:21:42] I think delegation is really hard when you've always been kind of a go getter, do it yourself, I got this, kind of a person.
[00:22:32] I think as a young leader, I had a tendency to tell people what I want them to do.
[00:23:38] Empowering my assistants is very important in making sure that those athletes know how much trust and respect and love I have for those coaches is extremely important.
[00:23:58] Don't repeat yourself…just say it quietly.
[00:25:47] I really moved away from assigning captains to earning captains.
[00:29:57] Lot of friction because I think a lot of AAU programs, and it's not all, but a lot of AAU programs, are not making it about the kids.
[00:30:18] You'll also find a lot of really, really good club directors who understand it, who get it, who do it the right way.
[00:30:40] I've always been in schools where I have maybe one or two kids that pick up a basketball outside of basketball season.
[00:31:18] I think that's just saying, look, when you're with them, you're with them. But when you're with us, you're with us and this is how we do it here.
[00:33:55] I think it's also okay to form relationships with those coaches. I mean, I think it's the only way we can ultimately have success for young athletes is that we have to create partnerships.
[00:35:27] I kind of figured out who I was, who I wanted to be and the culture that I wanted to create.
[00:36:20] If you're disciplined, you don't have to be asked to do something.
[00:37:31] He calls, his players, his living trophies.
[00:38:15] I believe you should always leave the place better than you found it.
[00:40:43] At the beginning of practice every day is we'll just have everybody come in, circle it up.
[00:41:13] We come in and we all put our thumbs up, and then we go, okay, now, where are we?
[00:42:13] I am also showing my vulnerability as a coach.
[00:46:00] Let the scoreboard be a byproduct of the work that you do.
[00:46:15] Don't be afraid to overcommunicate.
[00:46:22] You have to have balance.
[00:46:41] I think some years I've ended up paid paying myself to coach, because of gas.
[00:47:54] I play music in the gym.
[00:48:26] I need to put as much value and time into my relationships at home with my husband and my kids that I do with other people's kids.
[00:49:39] When I get a kid that has good foot work, I'm like, okay, who taught you this? Call them and tell them, thank you.
[00:50:09] I teach every player every skillset.
[00:52:05] Run a high school clinic and teach the parents the skillsets that you want to teach the kids.
[00:00:58] I was lucky enough and blessed enough to, become really good friends with the kid whose parents took me under their wing and he played basketball.
[00:01:44] I was lucky enough to play for a person who completely changed the trajectory of my entire life.
[00:02:08] He gave us just a lot of great life lessons…my confidence was like completely changed and he gave me something to look forward to.
[00:02:51] I was just trying to learn as much as I could through playing.
[00:03:52] The people that I knew in coaching said, Hey, you'll get to be a teacher.
[00:04:28] He asked me to leave my $32,000 a year job, for $2,000 a year job, and somehow convinced me to do it…he was given another job at Seattle Pacific. I was given a promotion to be the head coach…Leon Rice called me out of the blue and basically offered me an opportunity.
[00:05:38] I was really comfortable in LeGrand and, being working for somebody else, didn't really appeal to me that much, to be honest.
[00:05:57] Just wanted to get back to having my own program where you can create your own culture.
[00:07:12] And then the Monterey Bay, job opened and it's in Monterey.
[00:09:23] Then also the big thing with him was team.
[00:11:20] The spirit of the coaching versus the letter
[00:12:13] Coaching is just like an ever-evolving situation…you have to be willing to adapt and adjust.
[00:12:54] I've had to realize along the way that, I just don't know everything.
[00:13:45] You just have to be willing to, admit to yourself that you don't know everything and be hungry for knowledge and all the different areas.
[00:14:07] This kid might need my help, but because of their relationship with social media and how they interact with people. They may not know how to ask for it. So how do I look for the signs?
[00:15:19] I was really hard on them, I never gave praise of any kind, it was really just like about toughness and teamwork and this and that, but you have to be mentally and physically strong… And then my communication, like back then, it was just like, do it this way; it's my way or the highway. And now it's more like trying to explain why it's important to do these things…Back then it was really more just, they did what you asked them to do because you do it with a coach and being the coach doesn't qualify you anymore. You have to do a lot more to earn their trust.
[00:18:00] I have a hard time getting excited about doing the things that you're supposed to do.
[00:18:15] Putting them on the court, that's me saying, I trust you.
[00:20:05] The conversations that I'm having with our kids over the years are about real life. Making them think in bigger terms.
[00:20:24] Why do you think basketball is your only way out of your situation?
[00:20:38] I'm just always real, if you're messing up, I'm just going to tell you're messing up and if you're doing well, I'll tell you, but I'm just not going to, get excited about either end of that.
[00:21:58] And in college, the biggest difference is you have a chance to choose who you work with.
[00:22:18] The first part of culture is who you allow to be in it.
[00:22:39] Just like an employer of a company, you hire good people that fit your culture and, and maybe you hire good people that don't fit your culture.
[00:23:16] I feel like your first obligation should always be to the team.
[00:24:36] You don't hit a home, run on all of those relationships, but it has to be a constant effort on your part…But like I said, you got to be who you are, right? You can't fake it.
[00:26:29] Everybody has done laundry. Everybody has had to walk their kids to class.
[00:26:44] The other thing that you learn is what not to do
[00:27:08] When I was at Boise, what they did was really great was they learned how to quantify things that I didn't really realize were quantifiable at the time.
[00:29:38] There's a book, Gridiron Genius
[00:30:59] A lot of those low points in my life, having, given me perspective on being able to help kids who are going through their low points…My team is 20 plus years in the making, Thanksgiving morning when I'm texting, Hey, happy Thanksgiving. I got to sit down and go through about 20 years’ worth of rosters to get to all of these people.
[00:32:21] I fully understand that life is hard, because life was never easy for me… Being depressed is normal. Being sad is a normal. Sometimes if you're angry, that's normal, it's like really all about how you deal with it.
[00:33:44] I'm living in a great place. And I feel like my journey has allowed me to do what I always envisioned myself being able to do, which is hopefully be able to touch people in a positive way.
[00:34:29] Everybody has to have a goal for what they want out of whatever it is they're doing.
[00:35:45] Be good at the job you have versus worrying about what the next one is.
[00:36:03] If you're looking forward to the next job, I think it takes some of the focus away from the job that you're doing.
[00:01:05] I played at University of Hawaii and Pepperdine University.
[00:01:31] I consider myself a disciple of John Wooden…I got my first job at St. Louis School. you might know that school because of Tua Tagovailoa and Marcus Mariota and a host of other NFL players that are playing.
[00:02:53] I always wanted to go back to my Alma mater.
[00:03:18] They said, you can be an assistant coach or a JV head coach and we have a substitute position.
[00:04:52] I think I'm constantly figuring stuff out every year…I have some kind of pillar things that we do and tweak and adjust, but everything every year is scrutinized and looked at and dissected and reviewed, and if we need to make changes, it's collaborative with my entire coaching staff.
[00:05:38] Social, emotional learning.
[00:05:53] And, I think all coaches, believe that their sport is probably secondary to producing good human beings.
[00:07:08] Program culture. That's the number one thing.
[00:07:26] If you take care of the culture, you get so much more time back with everything.
[00:08:28] It's about really growing leaders.
[00:09:03] You create the buffers for them. You create the guideline rails and you, then you let people go for it and you don't micromanage and you just let them do their thing.
[00:10:43] Building relationships with our kids, number one, to build a culture.
[00:12:59] I just, I got to know what guys I got to move and how to move them.
[00:14:29] So how do I approach him?
[00:16:55] I don't think it's good for any human being to be siloed. I think that's when you lose your edge.
[00:18:33] There's a ton of data, coming out of Harvard and Princeton and Stanford and everywhere else that will give you all kinds of concrete ways that they are different.
[00:19:19] Everything goes back to relationships.
[00:20:18] As a new coach with no track record or history, like she's at coming in a really tough spot.
[00:21:04] You got to trust the process. It's your process that you set up, you got to live with the results, even if it's not the way that you think it should have shaken out.
[00:23:08] When I first started coaching, it was a lot to do about me. A lot to do about proving myself.
[00:23:54] Every year you're starting over.
[00:25:32] The biggest gift I think we can give as athletic administrators is a couple of things: one, enough of a buffer period for our young coaches to give them kind of a rope to, and a wide birth to learn and grow, and then the structure and support to learn and grow.
[00:26:55] Networking is huge.
[00:28:14] I'll always ask guys if I can come work there, camp.
[00:00:55] I didn't really have a plan other than junior college…thinking about teachers that had an impact on my life.
[00:02:07] Adam do you want to come down for coaching interview?
[00:03:29] Not only was I teaching a defensive line position, one that I didn't play in high school, I was also having to learn how to teach algebra. I got this young guy he's looking for a job. He's got two years of coaching experience, but he's a good dude…So that's why you don't burn bridges in this job.
[00:04:27] We went out that year and we won a seven football games we're 7-3, and I thought coaching was the easiest gig on the face of the earth at that point, I thought I'd be, coaching at Alabama at this point in my career.
[00:05:27] I needed at that point at the end of that 10 year run, I had two kids at that point, a three year old and a one year old, or somewhere around that age range and I just felt like I need to recharge the batteries and focus on my family and be a dad.
[00:06:47] The number one thing as a football coach, doesn't matter how old you are, how many years you've been doing it, actually any coach...is the minute you think you have all the answers, the minute you become a not good coach.
[00:07:53] Relationships with all stakeholders like the admin, the community, your colleagues, the guys that sacrificed so much time for little to no money, and most importantly, the players and the parents too.
[00:08:39] When all three levels are rowing the boat in the same direction and all on the same page.
[00:10:28] We were able to get a football class.
[00:10:42] Having on campus coaches, but having an administration that supports and values like the player's time and the coaches time.
[00:11:15] It's important in terms of culture from like work ethic being accountable.
[00:11:54] One of the best pieces I took from Coach Cattolico this last year was, just how, it was two hours and we're done not two hours and one minute, not two hours and 10 minutes. We're not going to go over.
[00:12:25] You're not going to win more games by practicing for eight hours a day.
[00:14:05] You don't really think about what you want your football team to, how you want them to act, how you want them to like how they are on campus and how they want it, how they act during a win or loss thing. But until you actually sit down and write things down or think things through, or you never really...it's hard to put what you want your culture to look like into words, right?
[00:14:39] It starts with are you a transformative coach?
[00:16:05] The relationship piece, which I think is huge, but, to me, knowing your players and then also, being able to understand that like they're human and they have good days, bad days.
[00:16:53] It's important that my coaches, myself included model, respectful behavior, we're accountable for our actions, where if we screw up, we make a bad call, we need to own it.
[00:19:27] You could be super successful. But if the parents and the community don't know the coach, that's coaching their kids and spending all the time with their kids. And they don't know what they're like as a person, like that in my experience has been where, the job becomes harder.
[00:20:55] And I think what happens is you become human. I remember my life became easier when my wife was working in the merchandise booth and they, then she talked about us as people, you know what I'm saying? And they got to know, Hey, his wife's pretty cool. And then I would go to more things and then they'd be like, he's cool.
[00:21:11] Cause when the parents are raising money and you're not winning, and their kid comes home and they're upset because they lost the football game and people on campus making fun of them.
[00:21:28] And they just need that. You're the root of that problem. You're the guy whose name's on MaxPreps. They're going to dislike you. It doesn't matter what you do.
[00:21:39] So the advice I'd give to myself a long time ago was it'd be twofold: don't sweat the small stuff, cause we've talked about that Clymo and then totally get involved with every aspect of every stakeholder that you could in terms of players, parents, community, admin, teachers.
[00:03:12] My very first coaching job, I was head coach of a U14 club team.
[00:03:27] There was a book written about your team.
[00:05:14] It's called the beautiful game, 16 girls and the season that changed everything.
[00:05:54] I have tried to exit coaching many times.
[00:06:10] My mentors, my heroes were male coaches typically at that time, and we're talking 24 years ago, were very driven, very dedicated, very disciplined coaches.
[00:07:11] I was out of the game. I ended up moving home and I was like, I'm not coaching.
[00:08:32] I think it was like two months later I got a call, Hey, you're in the top five.
[00:09:52] I've always suffered from a little bit of insecurity.
[00:10:28] Just remember that you were chosen, for yourself… So, remember to be who you are. And remember that was good enough.
[00:11:24] The things that I still needed to learn.
[00:12:40] When you do everything yourself, you create the effect that you don't want, which is everybody relies on you for the final say.
[00:13:28] I remember I was yelling at my team and one of my players turned to me in the middle of a play, and she said, what do I do now? And I was so ashamed of that moment.
[00:14:06] You need to trust them and let them fail sometimes.
[00:16:03] Tall trees catch high wind.
[00:17:03] But what advice would you give to people that are in your situation? Young females, trying to break into a male dominated profession that are successful or not successful, but how do you inoculate yourself against some of the criticisms that are unfounded, but really eat away at your self-confidence and as you describe it, your insecurity and need to prove yourself at every level?
[00:18:22] Outside of your team, I think it's having a support system.
[00:19:59] The world has changed so much…we have a lot of athletes that are being inundated constantly is this information overload and what gets the most attention is negativity.
[00:21:44] No two teams are run the same, so every team has run differently, but my standards remain.
[00:23:52] But now, the individual meetings very often are an invitation for a player to speak on things that we may not know about. So, we provide this open space. We don't always fill it with our own air.
[00:24:33] We do a captain's corner and our former captains come and speak on leadership and all of our captains so far have said you can't lead each player on the team the same way.
[00:26:34] I think children want discipline, but I also think athletic teams want it.
[00:26:51] If you didn't have to sacrifice anything, anybody could be on your team.
[00:28:24] So we define things. So, we have a definition of excellence and so when I say we need to be excellent, we can point back to what that is…It starts with accountability, maturity, poise.
[00:29:16] Accountability is having personal ownership.
[00:29:40] Maturity is having emotional self-control.
[00:30:01] And poise means emotional piece.
[00:31:51] Leadership has been a cultural tradition in this program. So, we develop leadership. We don't just bring players in and go, Oh, she's a natural leader, no, we develop it by appropriate administration of responsibility.
[00:32:36] When a leader speaks, whether it's via text in a training on a game, whether it's, a coach speaking and then immediately another person affirms the message.
[00:34:33] And what it said is that, in these major companies, in the US women's voices were being lost.
[00:36:13] Women are so afraid to back other women, like why are we competing with each other? We should be lifting and affirming.
[00:36:31] Leadership's number one priority is harmony. So our goal in council is to create a harmonious team culture, not a right team culture, not a correcting culture, but a harmonious team culture.
[00:37:08] Act of affirmation.
[00:39:27] I have seen the culture of coaching, with young women and young women who walk into environments without the right mentorship, just get the passion, the flame gets snuffed out, really talented players, really talented leaders.
[00:40:20] I would just encourage women to stop being so apologetic for being competitive.
[00:42:58] We have to stop focusing on competition and focus on whether or not you're a good teammate, because you can be highly competitive, want to win every game, want to be the best at every training and not emotionally step on people.
[00:44:27] But we don't do that in band. You have first flute or first piano. So why can we have everybody play piano? So, we don't do it in other areas. We don't do it in an art competition. Who gets the blue ribbon? First place in art. You have first flute, you have to audition for dance recitals, but somehow when it comes to sport, we want to neutralize everybody.
[00:46:08] And we have a ban on saying, I'm sorry, you are not allowed to say, I'm sorry, just don't do it, because you're taking ownership of something you didn't even mean.
[00:46:33] "I'm sorry about that. I went too far." That's a different thing. But sorry is what we teach everybody to neutralize the moment, even though there was no intention to harm.
[00:50:15] Friend versus teammate?
[00:01:52] I feel like I learned a lot that I didn't know in high school. And, man, some of these little nuggets I could give to some of these guys would be really helpful.
[00:02:23] I could see myself doing this.
[00:02:56] And he said, we're starting spring football today.
[00:03:36] You're going to call the plays.
[00:04:24] I remember being extremely overwhelmed as a 23-year-old.
[00:05:12] I was hired after two seasons as the athletic director here, which gave me a unique perspective that I didn't have before.
[00:07:00] I didn't always grow up in Carmel.
[00:07:33] I was trying to find people that was every ethnicity from every background, every age group, and try to combine that because I thought that's the best way for kids to try to identify with an adult.
[00:08:46] If you're terrible at it, we'll just fire you and find somebody else, and you can just teach.
[00:09:37] Unfortunately and fortunately, athletics is a very emotional thing…they don't really experience your intentions, they really experience how the behavior is and how they feel.
[00:10:38] They don't need more or need less they just want to feel like they're on equal footing with everyone else.
[00:11:24] We make the joke when you're driving the vans to an event the assistant coaches van it's really crowded the head coach 's van it's not as many guys in it.
[00:13:23] Sports are an emotional thing and a lot of times, as you know, in your profession, things do get said that aren't true because it's a perception thing. But unfortunately, sometimes things get said that aren't true and the people saying it know it's not true and it muddies the waters for people.
[00:14:39] We started a student athlete council this last year.
[00:16:43] Alignment is a big word in our programs being aligned philosophically. and then within your programs being aligned with the head coach from top down, players, the alignment and the beliefs of the individual program.
[00:16:58] We're really trying to put kids in the best position to be successful.
[00:17:14] Is there a way to build the biggest programs that we have and cast the widest net and be as inclusive as we can?
[00:18:19] The student athlete council has been a way to identify that to our student athletes, to try to get them aligned program, to program and see each other face to face and talk about problems and talk about what's working.
[00:19:15] You're always trying to find ways of how can I support you so you feel like you're not awkwardly having to reach out for help, but you're comfortable accepting suggestions and help and things like that?
[00:20:34] I felt like that was important, that everyone's accountable, coaches, players, support staff, we’re all accountable to each other.
[00:21:51] We'll practice our JV and our varsity together.
[00:22:23] Alignment of our coaches and giving them job expectations.
[00:25:15] Their confidence level rose because they're being viewed as a co-expert in that position or in that thing and that's one of the biggest things with our coaches when we defined it.
[00:25:51] And I'm a big believer in Brian and Tim Kight.
[00:26:19] And so, can we clearly, they identify the behaviors that I want from our coaches to build our kids and we only coach them on that and just catch them doing it right.
[00:29:40] I asked a tennis coach to mentor me.
[00:30:39] Don’t leave him on a negative.
[00:31:53] Well that's too expensive.
[00:32:37] I'm trying to just collect a lot of information, try to better it for myself before I make the call what I want to do.
[00:33:20] I've had basketball coaches come and one of the best advice I received
[00:34:07] Just trying to collect those little bits and pieces that may or may not work for you.
[00:35:50] I'm uniquely positioned to watch a lot of practices, and to see what teams are focusing on.
[00:36:11] I saw something unique last year with our girls’ soccer program.
[00:37:12] I've watched our baseball and softball programs
[00:37:25] Something I really took from our long-term boys swim coach
[00:37:56] How are we structuring the workouts to peak there?
[00:01:10] In what way has your background with athletics or in athletics helped shape your professional journey?
[00:01:30] Sports is always there. It's always a way to connect.
[00:02:02] the competitive spirit…Knowing that there's something bigger than you, it's your team and the goals of your team are much more important.
[00:03:36] student-athlete always, that ordering principle is very important.
[00:05:35] Sports was vehicle to be in the seat to be inspired by professors.
[00:06:22] The need for passion.
[00:06:43]Work = practice.
[00:07:28] Control the controllables
[00:08:10] Indigent defense.
[00:08:47] You gotta be able to fight, like where are you someone who could be there in the fourth quarter? Like that's something that comes back from sports.
[00:09:25] How do you still get up every day and show up when you're having a tough go of it?
[00:11:04] Different Opportunities for mom and me.
[00:13:06]You got to be a Swiss army knife…in today's workforce.
[00:13:37] How can you be ready to be a positive impact on the game, a positive impact for your employers?
[00:14:07] I need to be someone who's going to really carry a heavy load or maybe what's needed is for me to shrink my head, realize that there's something bigger than me.
[00:14:33] Without the team, we're increasingly individualistic.
[00:14:56] Sports are a vehicle to teach leadership. And for you to learn, to be part of something bigger than yourself.
[00:15:49] I'll very briefly explain this phenomenon in New York city, the New York city day…
[00:16:47] "Next play." His "Next play. Wipe that. Next play." Because if you let any negativity from your past influence your future, no one impacted that no one brought that negativity, but you. Why?
[00:20:10] Examples of specifics along your career where you can point to things like that where disciplined mattered, preparation mattered, or you had to know the rules, and live within them or negative things were going to happen?
[00:20:26] Tim Duncan face.
[00:20:48] A judge's discretion...
[00:22:30] Many fail repeats.
[00:24:35] I really do want the respect of my opponent.
[00:25:17] What's on the other side could very well be someone that's on your team, whether that's employment, you switched jobs, something happens in the world where all of a sudden, they're next to you. They're no longer across from you.
[00:26:09] We no longer live in a wave at your neighbor society, and especially in a lot of metropolitan areas.
[00:26:47] Basketball was the universal language was to allow me to speak to people. That a lot of times there's, there may not be anything else that will relate us.
[00:28:48]Today's society…It's I based. My success is my own. Very rarely I think, is it shared or is my efforts to achieve a success that affects someone beyond me or my immediate family?
[00:30:33] It's gotta be we first. And if we're put on a task and I've played team sports and I've experienced that and you haven't. We might have different goals. My goal might be for you and I to achieve A, your goal might be for you and not me to achieve B because a is for we and B is for you. So, if we're working for two separate things, we might as well not be on the same team because we're not even going in the same direction.
[00:31:00] One is for me; one is for we.
[00:31:22] Not everyone can be a star, but you star, you can star in your role.
[00:32:39] It's all about we.
[00:34:24] I didn't have to be too smart or too compassionate, cause I'm not either of those, to realize that things aren't right for this group of people….You don't, you also don't have to be smart or compassionate to see, how black people in this country are treated so disparagingly and the things that they face is it wouldn't be fair to call it a hurdle; It's a mountain that has been 400 years long.
[00:37:51] If I'm trying as hard as I and…The only thing I didn't get was affirmation….I still got all the progression and personal success.
[00:38:28] Affirmation is not handed out that much in adult life.
[00:38:51] As soon as you can keep working towards your own personal growth and you don't need the affirmation because the real success was in the gains you made. You're perfect.
[00:01:11] I knew I wanted to be a head coach. My goal was always to be a division two head coach.
[00:01:27] I swirled ice cream for a year as a manager of an ice cream store…an old friend reached out who I had actually met on a trip in Italy.
[00:02:33] And I think because of that, got a phone call from St. Mary's to submit an application.
[00:03:31] I probably applied to 20 some jobs and didn't even get a call back. and one of the things I learned through that is it's all about who, you know.
[00:04:11] What did you realize that you still needed to figure out once you stepped into that role?
[00:04:41] Figuring out where we were at as a school.
[00:04:48] We practice off campus, so every day we took a bus.
[00:05:44] But your relationship as a head coach is so different.
[00:06:15] It’s funny when you're the assistant coach, your van is full, and when you're the head coach, nobody wants to be in your van.
[00:06:49] I really wanted to understand that business of the sport a little bit more, and it really is a business recruiting is trying to find the best athletes, the best people to buy your product, right?
[00:07:34] Selling our majors really narrowed my focus for what I was looking for recruiting wise.
[00:08:26] How would you describe what you're looking for in a really good assistant?
[00:10:03] I want to surround myself with assistants who are teaching me things, but also loyal to the vision of the program.
[00:11:45] It’s actually so simple and it's just taking time with that with the athletes and with the coaching staff to have communication and know a little bit about them outside of softball.
[00:12:16] We do this thing called stress and excitement.
[00:13:52] How has your interactions early with different age demographics or other sports, impacted what you are doing on the field with the athletes that you're coaching professionally?
[00:14:21] I feel like sometimes as college athletes, they, there's just so much extra stress.
[00:14:48] I like them to have a balance of the fun on the field.
[00:16:38] I wanted to emulate all of the best coaches…I went directly into what I thought were head coaching shoes, but they weren't mine.
[00:16:57] I'm goofy and I love softball and I want that to shine through and I feel like the more that I allow myself to just be myself as I coach and keep my standards and toughness and whatever, but the more, I always have to do myself as I coach the more buy in I get.
[00:18:18] And as we go through it, we learn different things…You have to constantly be educating yourself.
[00:19:13] There's so much information out there and now we can buy into that and implement that in our own program.
[00:20:27] You just never forget anyone.
[00:20:49] You have to put an effort into your network, just as much as you do study for class or doing anything else, but, and then just make sure that it continuously touches people in different ways and get mentors.
[00:21:57] You're developing these relationships that if you want to be strategic about it may serve you later on, but really, it's just about giving back and paying it forward.
[00:22:10] Just give back and try to help someone because I know so many people have helped me to get to where I am today.
[00:00:56] I was probably a better coach while I was playing then I was a player.
[00:01:41] I thought I was the next big thing that's for sure.
[00:02:36] And I thought I wanted to be a college coach and was working towards that.
[00:04:32] I'm sweeping the floor and in the middle of the sweeping, I just break down in tears.
[00:04:57] I realized is that, the high school level was where I needed to be. I think I had great impact here.
[00:05:40] I'm content now and the things that I thought again were the annoyances are the things now that cherish the most.
[00:06:17] So every day is a learning experience.
[00:07:49] I think, with regards to taking the next step, I think that was always the, each move that we made was with the purpose of hopefully of setting, or opening another door. Most of my life, I always wanted to have as many doors open as possible. Ultimately you can choose which door you walk through, assuming it's open.
[00:08:35] The biggest thing we talk about like landing another job is just being exceptional at the job that you have.
[00:09:02] Be good where you are and, build relationships…having a core group of people and believing in them and having them believe in you and then just working your tail off.
[00:09:56] And I think that's what life is really about is just giving yourself opportunities and then making decisions, and then in reflection, I think that, just going out of your way to, to seek advice is important.
[00:10:14] The main advice is to seek people, talk to people, find out what other people are doing.
[00:10:31] It's a little bit egotistical to think that you have all the answers, there's so many people around that have seen this movie before. So, let them tell you about it.
[00:12:08] I think the first thing that's important, when you look at the idea of taking something over, is that a, I think a lot of, especially when we're young, you're immediately, you're in a hurry to figure out like how you're going to make it yours. and the reality is that you're the newcomer. You’re the foreigner, and it's like how I think the bigger question or the one that we should ask ourselves instead is, how are we going to adapt to this?
[00:12:59] Get a feel for the landscape.
[00:13:15] Knowing who your allies are.
[00:14:19] Who's going to be the one to tell you that's you're wrong?
[00:14:50] What's the campus culture?
[00:15:38] And it took us a little bit of time to realize that, we got to understand people more than we understand scheme.
[00:15:57] I feel like I can scheme you and I can draw some stuff to beat you, but ultimately, It's about players.
[00:16:57] I've learned more about coaching by being a parent than I learned from any clinic I went to or book I read…I'm not afraid to say that my relationships early were transactional.
[00:18:11] Life was either black or white or hot or cold, there was never anything in the middle with me.
[00:19:00] We're about making kids better people. If they become better basketball players. Great…there's bigger emphasis on putting the kid before the program and early on, it was the opposite.
[00:19:44] But now I think where there's a lot more gray in the program for sure than there used to be. It's, there's a lot more warm as opposed to hot and cold.
[00:20:32] Now we seek opportunities to enjoy each other.
[00:20:45] Coach is soft now.
[00:21:17] Sports are…a vehicle to teach leadership. And they're a vehicle to teach you to be part of something bigger than yourself, and why the multi-sport athlete is so important...because you play a different role on every team and that's life. And you can't, you can't always be the star, but you can star in your role.
[00:22:12] We, we believe in the power of the little, like we talk about it a lot.
[00:22:37] The best thing that we do in our program; I think is provide structure.
[00:23:25] One of the things that I try to, or as an athletic director, as I try to tell my coaches and it's something we believe in, and it's something that we try to exemplify with our program and that's full immersion for the coach.
[00:23:55] Full immersion is something that we believe in.
[00:24:12] The decisions that we make consciously that have the biggest ripple effects are the people that we surround our kids with.
[00:25:44] What works in one program doesn't necessarily work in another and people need to evaluate what those are and it speaks to what you said early about: go get educated, get out and watch people.
[00:26:22] Because the reality is that we're almost all of us are year-round now with our programs. And we don't want to be, but we feel like the guy next door is so we have to.
[00:27:47] Don't ever ask the kids to do things you're not willing to do yourself, or as the administrator, to ask your staff to do things you're not willing to do yourself.
[00:28:48] Why don't you just have your assistants do that? I can't do that. I can't ask my assistant coaches to do something that I'm not willing to do.
[00:29:41] Rule one of life, show up.
[00:29:43] Show up, show up and we'll figure it out after that, but get there.
[00:30:36] And like I remember thinking, why would I learn anything about that coaching from a football coach? How's that going to impact me as a basketball coach, but man it's and I have coaches, I go learn something from the girls, JV water polo coach, and she's brand new and was just, Oh, I liked how you said that.
[00:32:25] There's almost like levels of embarrassment.
[00:33:00] Take a deep breath and really consider this before you just impulsively respond don't take everything to be offensive.
[00:33:25] And now we invite questions. We want to know what you think. so slow down, not everybody's trying to offend you. We don't have to win every battle.
[00:34:09] The reality is that, we're constantly trying to improve, and I think that we need to value that process more than we value outcomes.
[00:00:56] There are signs and signals that are going to direct you to the path that you need to go in life to fulfill your purpose.
[00:02:02] Just go in there and introduce yourself.
[00:03:28] And, I think there was a persistence and a willingness and a desire to want to be a part of that. And Coach Williams gave me, opened a crack in the door and I did my best to kick it open.
[00:05:09] And in a lot of ways that standard had been passed from the seniors to me. And I felt like as a caretaker, the program is now my responsibility to pass that standard on to the younger guys.
[00:05:20] I graduated had no idea what I was going to do.No idea whatsoever.
[00:06:20] The more clinics we went to the more opportunity I had to work with guys and practice, the more opportunities I had to work with you, the more opportunities I had to learn and listen, what the coaching profession actually looked like I said, Hey, I think I can be pretty good at this.
[00:07:58] Worked five or six jobs, continue teaching, ran summer camps, counselor for the school. I was a dorm counselor. I mean, you name it 23 years old working 18 hours a day, trying to make it work.
[00:08:22] He allowed me to speak in practice. He allowed me to speak in timeouts during the huddle. He empowered me.
[00:09:40] I’ve had a lot of closed doors in my career.
[00:11:19] So here I am, I'm a 32-year-old essentially had no job, no career at this point, I'm still trying to figure things out.
[00:16:15] I think I did four or five interviews with him at 6:00 AM at Denny's over on Auburn Boulevard.
[00:17:55] No, you're always being tested.
[00:19:36] Some of them, I applied for it probably was never a good fit, but some of them, I was a really good fit for some of them.
[00:20:33] Closed doors were blessings.
[00:20:48] You want to always be surrounded by great people.
[00:21:38] Sometimes our best decisions are made by other people.
[00:22:52] I do think I was ready as a leader.
[00:23:20] I know what I wanted our team to feel like and act like. I think the big challenge was for me, was getting my team to play like that.
[00:23:48] So, you got to like almost take everything you want to do and cut it down to a very small bit and then try to be great in those areas.
[00:24:37] Developing practice plans and developing a style of play that fits who you are and fits what you believe in. There's great beauty in simplicity.
[00:27:55] I also think one of the things I'm able to do, and one of my strong suits and something I'm very conscious of is to try to get young men and even coaches, even myself to be vulnerable.
[00:28:47] In order to have connected teams, you have to have courage and vulnerability.
[00:29:42] You have to love each other. And care for each other more than you care about yourself in order to be successful.
[00:31:07] I think the art sometimes is finding moments, opportune moments to let guys lead or let guys be vulnerable.
[00:33:56] How would I want my son to be coached? How do I communicate with my son in terms of how patient I am with them, how creative I have to be with him? When one of our children gets upset, we're a little more patient with them.
[00:36:57] If I could, as a leader, create an environment where I truly coach these guys as if they were my own kids and truly, maybe coach them to the point where that trust and that communication and that, empowerment of them in terms of who they are after they graduate existed, when they were in the program I think that would be really powerful. And that's the type of, as a leader, that'd be the type of program and the type of trust that I would try to implement.
[00:39:08] Having a truthteller in your life is important. I had to remind myself and be very intentional that, our team is fragile and I need to be the positive one.
[00:40:06] How many points of contact do you have with these kids? Finding those points of contact, it has to be intentional.
[00:43:02] I think the biggest challenge you have is trying to take all those different ideas that other people have formulated, and use them as your own.
[00:43:35] We stand on the shoulders of giants and I've had a lot of giants on my journey.
[00:44:31] Learn how to read everything and follow directions. And most people don't follow directions.
[00:45:11] What I learned from my mentors
[00:48:02] I have a bucket of documents, practice plans, notes, etc.
[00:48:48] I started creating my own bucket of my own philosophy, my own beliefs.
[00:50:14] How do you have an impact? How do you share, how do you keep the mission and vision of the program at the forefront of your mind while trying to enhance and bring ideas?
[00:50:33] You have to know when to lead and you have to know when to follow.
[00:53:02] My job is to try to align everything in the program to that vision, not my vision, his vision.
[00:53:47] Anytime you're going to bring something to a head coach, you better have some valid support of why it's important and you better believe in it.
[00:54:43] The more that I can take off of his desk and the more that I can do so that he can focus on the players.
[00:01:09] The path changes
[00:01:50] I was willing to coach anything. Can you coach varsity volleyball? Sure. Can you coach basketball? Sure. I didn't know how to say no.
[00:02:34] Coaching teaches classroom management.
[00:03:27] And I was pretending to be cool, calm, and collected, but inside of us, trying not to freak.
[00:04:16] I thought I could be a great athletic director and that experience of being the athletic director opened up so many other doors that I didn't even know existed.
[00:05:32] No matter how many practices you have before your first game, there's no way to prepare for everything that they're going to need to know in that small timeframe.
[00:07:32] We want to compete at all times. And then suddenly realizing that it's not about the wins and losses, it's about where they start and where they finishand what have you, how have you built them?
[00:08:48] Program inconsistency vs. features of continuity.
[00:10:10] What was it like to be the only, or one of few females on an all-male staff?
[00:11:58] My attire mattered.
[00:13:09] I liked it that I could at least say I had walked in their footsteps.
[00:14:15] Open lines of communication are very important. Making sure that your coaches feel valued is really important.
[00:15:20] If an athlete feels valued and feels important, they will do almost anything for a coach. And I think it's a, that's a powerful thing to have. And it's really important that coaches are making sure that they're using that power appropriately that they're teaching the life lessons. When there are life lessons to be taught that they are helping to guide these young minds. That are still developing and are overwhelmed with so many things, whether it's emotions or physical things going on, or just outside issues, just making sure that they feel like they're in a safe space and they feel valued and a part of something important that they'll remember for a long time.
[00:16:34] I think when you first walk in and you're just trying to evaluate a program.
[00:17:50] I think consistency watching coaches that are consistent, that does a lot for kids. They want to know that they can count on you…it's consistent fairness, communication and reliability.
[00:19:16] What’s it like to be a woman in a male heavy profession?
[00:21:24] First of all, find your people. Find people that not only be in the same generation era as you, but find people that are in an older generation because they have so much incredible knowledge, but then also find people in the generation below you and help be that mentor.
[00:22:01] I learned the most things from the sports and the coaches that I had the least in common with because maybe I listened to them with a different filter.
[00:22:59] We're more willing to seek out advice as, the more experienced we get.
[00:23:20] Teaching is coaching, right? Coaching is teaching.
[00:23:55] I would sweat way less of the small stuff. I think that you choose very strange battles. Everything's a battle when you're younger.
[00:24:19] I think I would be calmer. I think that I would be more open to information and criticism. What the kids need, because what they needed 20 years ago is very different than what they needed 10 years ago, which is very different than what they need now.
[00:24:54] There are different ways of teaching.
[00:25:23] Every kid has a story. Every story is different and I want to see them be successful in whatever light that looks like.
[00:25:52] And it's going to be a lot more work, but I also think that the future's going to be a lot better if people just adjust a little bit, give and take, figure it out.
[00:26:04] The answer is, it depends most of the time…as a teenager, they have a really tough time holding that two things can seem to be in opposition, but both be true.
[00:26:54] What do you have to offer if anything, for families and parents and athletes that want to really know what's the recruiting process is like, what are the most important things to take care of? And what's the noise that you can just tune out?
[00:27:45] Be patient with the process.
[00:28:28] You can change your mind if you need to. It doesn't mean that you're a failure. It doesn't mean anything. It means this is what growth looks like.
