Always be up front with them Learn how to speak their language Find out what makes them tick Remind them of what they mean to the program If you think there is something wrong there probably is Don’t be afraid to ask questions
Find ways for them to bond as a team Lay out the frame work from the
beginning Set up opportunities for the team to
come together Let them help create the culture of the
program Choose a theme for the season
Boundaries Showing them that they come
first Making winning secondary Being a constant role model Opening your life to them Being upfront with struggles
Lay out the rules in writing from day one Deal with things face to face right away Help your athletes confront their
teammates in a healthy manner The 33% athlete Always keep a pulse on the team Have an open door policy that they will
actually take advantage of NO ONE IS BIGGER THAN THE PROGRAM!
Balancing Focus with fun Let them be themselves Don’t get in your own way Know that your athlete’s
experience is more important than winning
Stay consistent
