A Coach's Diary

They might tell us that we weren't good enough, and they might beat us, but they won't say that they didn't 'feel us.' They will feel our fight. They will feel our hunger. They will feel our will to win. They will feel our grit, our determination, and our tenacity. If we make them feel all of that, we will win a lot more than we lose. Most importantly, if we make them feel all of that, we can leave every practice and every game proud of what we did. 1 - Did you work as hard as you could? 2 - What is one thing you were proud of today? 3 - What is one thing that you want to get better at for next time? 4 - How can I help?

What do you bring to the team? How do you make your teammates better? How do you make your team better? What are you doing to get better? How do you make your teammates feel when you walk in the locker room or walk into practice? Think about these things. Be intentional about the way you make others feel. Know what your role is and how you can help your team and teammates. Know your strengths and weaknesses, and know where you can improve.
