The TRUTH BASED VISION!
“Creating INTENTIONAL EXPERIENCE through Sport!”
The TRUTH about our VISION!
As a player, and early in my coaching, I had three team experiences:
1) The TALENTED team that ACHIEVED!
2) The TALENTED team that UNDERACHIEVED!
3) The CONNECTED team that OVERACHIEVED!
I was very lucky to have talented and hard working coaches to play for and to be mentored by. I can say the same about the players I have had. We were “INTENTIONAL” Intentional about conditioning, skill development, and team systems & strategy. With that said, an intentional approach to Individual Experience and Group Dynamic was often lacking. That’s not to say that team development opportunities were not intentionally created. Rather, I would say the skills to fully leverage those moments were often left to chance/hope and unaddressed. In developing my own coaching philosophy, I came to wonder….? If I were more intentional in supporting young people through Leadership/Psych Skills development as individuals and groups… how much better could everyones experience have been? How would that have effected performance?
