  2. Why This Topic?Our Patrons, Parents, and Athletes Need to See Value in All Season, Not Just Winning Ones

  3. We have activities because of there educational value- • The value is measured by our respective communities during our seasons • Ultimately they determine if that value is worth the costs of the program • What did the parents perceive to be the value of your last season?

  5. First Coaching Job • Goals • Mistakes • Lesson Learned • What was the Value • How do you put season in perspective • Banquet is Everthing

  6. My Worst Season • 5-5 • Dr Stephens- speaks to the value of sport, not winning • I don’t remember my record of the coach I loved the most- I just wanted to be in the gym with the guy because I wanted to go through the wall for him. • Only banquet I ever had at 9th grade with parents

  7. Your Favorite Coach- Discussion • 1. What made them different? • 2. Was it all about winning? • 3. What did you learn from them? • 4. Healthy Perspective and Balance? • 5. Demanding yet fair?

  8. Sports are a "Character Breeding Ground” • Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity Helen Schucman Undefeated season playing 5 kids more important then the growth and your relationship with # 8 My #8 kid during my 0-10 season eventually became my family doctor-

  9. Reason he Played • Had Fun • Liked his teammates • I lifted him up with our relationship- made him feel worthy • Because I had earned his respect by developing the relationship he found value playing.

  10. Perseverance and Hard Work • To here him tell it these were the character issues that helped him through a very tough first year at medical school • Glad he made it- saved my best friends life with an early diagnosis

  12. Life Changing Relationships • Whether you win or lose you are going to impact lives. • Athletes are going to take something out of the season- what would you choose to have them take? • How do you want them to see you 5 years from now? • You were there for them and never gave up on them.

  13. Resiliency • How do you bounce back from a 64-4 drubbing? • One practice at a time- with your teammates • Never, ever, ever, give up. • Definition of success: Picking yourself off the ground one more time then you fall.

  14. Understanding We • The greater good and sacrifice that it takes from all to get there is like no other feeling in the world. • To experience the concept of team is life changing if the coach has a healthy perspective

  15. Being a Better Listener • Gives credibility and builds understanding • Everyone has a need to belong- nuture that by being a better listener

  16. Understanding Grace • We all make mistake- everyone needs a second chance • Humbling yourself at times is good for the soul • your kid who missed the winning layup- how do you give that moment grace. • Here is how I always handled that:

  17. Fitness • Life altering if you can instill a continued discipline for fitness, diet, and health. • All 3 of my daughters schedule in daily activity- learned about the value of that in sports

  18. Work Ethic • This goes along with commitment • I had the slowest, shortest, non-athletic point guard in the history of basketball. • His basketball skills took him no where but his work ethic and “never give up attitude” as made him a tremendously successful business man.

  19. Challenge • Green and growing or ripe and rotting • Growth is optional based on your desire to work • What is your potential? Who helps you know that?

  20. Improvement • Henry Miller- Basketball • Kendra Collier- x-country • No one crushed their dreams- encouraged and continued to improve • Many stories like that out there • Where do some generate the desire to improve without an encouraging coach

  21. Winning Isn’t reflected in the scoreboard • Most important part of the season?

  22. School Based Athletics “Kids First……Winning Second”

  23. Gauging a Successful Season • If we didn’t have state tournaments how would gauge your season? The answer to that is what gives us the educational value we put on athletics.
