What A 9 Year Old Can Teach You About Selling ...

... Or Selling Your Program

John Wooden said that coaches and players have to work together to achieve success.  We as coaches have the responsibility to get our players to buy-in to what we are trying to do.

How do we get our message across to players in a way where they will listen and retain the information?


The picture below is from an article I read on being a better salesperson.  It mentions that most people only remember 1 thing from a sales call a week later.  Because of that, we have to make sure our message is short, simple, and impactful enough for it to be that one thing that our athletes remember.


I hate listening to coaches ramble on when trying to motivate, teach, or give important information to athletes.  We have to learn how to communicate efficiently on the level of our athletes.
