Final 4 Steps of Being a Great Team
Motivation
“The team is the star, never an individual player.”
Motivation will grow only through an open atmosphere, acceptance, and support for each other.
Cliques, excuse making, unaccountability, individual agendas, etc. will ruin a team.
Persistence
Throughout a season, there will always be problems with winning, losing, injuries, sickness, etc.
Great teams overcome, keep a positive attitude, and bond together to get the job done. Understanding their role.
“The strength of the wolf is in the pack and the strength of the pack is in the wolf.”
Rudyard Kipling
Not everyone can be a starter.
Everyone in our program is important in the role that they fill within the team. If a player is discouraged by playing time, they have to prove they deserve more. Pretty simple concept.
Positive Attitude
Attitude is a choice.
Attitude can certainly help/hinder the opportunity for an expanded role in the program.
This attitude is not just a football thing. Classroom, community, etc.
I want to thank Tom Wilson of Dowling Catholic in Des Moines. He has given me a great insight of youth coaching.

Parent’s Role in a Young Athletes Lives
Attempt to relieve competitive pressure, not increase it.
These kids don’t need extra pressure from home. Self-confidence & self-image will be improved by support at home. Comparing your child to others is discouraged.
