Listen to responses.  Be a “silent whisperer” in communicating with your players through the use of one-on-one conversations,text messaging, email, phone, etc.  Key managers, coaches, leaders need to pay more attention not to what we deliver, but to what comes back.Philosophy:  Methods in coaching have changed from autocratic to a more creative method of teaching, combining both skills to get the best performance from your players. Coaches must teach not only the fundamentals of football, but also teach players patience.  Do we understand our players?  Are they capable, not only of the physical but also of the emotional?  We must think about listening to what a player says to us.  Group working with Individuals and Units link them all together.Insight:  As a coach, Self-Reflection is important because coaches are still learning. The goal of a coach is not to fix someone, it is to pay attention to their needs and provide positive guidance.  As in the words of Genshai…”Never treat yourself in a manner that makes another person feel small.”Best moments:“Never treat yourself in a manner that makes another feel small.”“Many people forget most of what you tell them, many people forget what we did, most people never forget the people we meet.”“Key managers, coaches and leaders need to pay more attention, not to what we deliver, but to what comes back.”F.
