240 - Train people well enough they can leave, treat them well enough that they don’t want to.

I want to have my players be able to run practice without me. I want my captains to be able to run the show in such a way that I don’t need to be there. I want to teach my kids the strategy behind our game and the rationale behind my decisions, so that if I were to disappear, or my voice goes out, or suddenly I can’t SEE what’s going on, they would be completely fine without me. I want to treat them in sjuch a way that they WANT me at practice. They WANT my input . They WANT my advice, not because i’m the one deciding their playing time, but because they ACTUALLY VALUE IT.
