But no one just happens to have the character. It’s built into us by a long process. My parents gradually increased my freedom as I demonstrated responsibility because they understood that my character begins with the little things in life."  -Tony Dungy

Building relationships with players!

Intentional language to empower and inspire your team.

Who makes the team, who has the opportunity to practice, and who gets to play in the game? Don’t just have standards for skill and athleticism!

I know I am ready to give feedback when: 1. I’m ready to sit next to you rather than across from you. 2. I’m willing to put the problem in front of us rather than between us (or sliding it toward you) 3. I’m ready to listen, ask questions, and accept that I may not fully understand the issue. 4. I want to acknowlege what you do well instead of picking apart your mistakes 5. I recognize your strengths and how you can use them to address your challenges 6. I can hold you accountable without shaming or blaming you. 7. I’m willing to own my part. 8. I can genuinely thank you for your efforts rather than criticize you for your failings 9. I can talk about how resolving thsese challenges will lead to your growth and opportunity 10. I can model the vulenrability and openness that I expect to see from you.

Relationship Builder: Sometimes the best thing we can do together is to just BE together.

People need more discussions about character than lectures!

Our memories shape our future decision making...

If we are committed to learning and growing we have to embrace the hard criticism.

Change your physical state before some hard conversations!

Great Questions are Better than Great Answers

Forget about the + - + sandwich! Use this equation to give the hard feedback in one on one conversations with athletes!

What is the benefit in helping athletes understand why they are making mistakes or poor decisions?

Have you ever filmed yourself coaching and broke it down?

What is greater on your team- the level of fun or the level of conflict?

Empower players by giving them some influence in our focus for the next practice.

How can you discipline to teach and develop character, instead of punish?

Connect and redirect!

Valuing Our Values. Am I coaching by my core values and beliefs? Today is a self-awareness activity for coaches.

Change the environment to deepen the relationship!

Unwilling to let your players plan and run a whole practice? One small step to transfer leadership!

Before enforcement we need encouragement! Before accountability we need advocacy! 2 important reminders for you!

A Mental training activity to do with players when they become frustrated, discouraged, angry etc...

How do I view people in my program? Retrain yourself to see people for who they are NOT what they do.

Determining Your Programs Standards!

Mental Toughness Tuesday

How does it feel to be coached by me? Try anonymous surveys all throughout the year. Get insight from athletes and parents. Is the criticism warranted? Yes- learn from it. No- Ask why they might feel this way? Join my mailing list at thriveonchallenge.com

Ask questions- share stories-- have great conversations beyond your sport!

Ask questions, let them prepare scouting report, involve them in the game planning!

We can't just model the character we want to see in our players, but we need to share with them the areas we struggle and model a willingness to learn and grow certain character strengths, qualities, and virtues.

Mental Toughness Tuesdays Write out stresses and anxieties before competition!
