Coach the way you wished you’d been coached. That’s how a team gets better after you’re gone.
STILLNESS
WHAT THIS MEANS
Most people pass on the treatment they got, including the parts that were bad for them. Breaking that takes remembering clearly what you needed and did not get, then supplying it to the next group instead of repeating the pattern. Teams get better when somebody decides to stop handing down the worst of it.
If you are in any position to lead, name one thing you wish adults had done differently with you. Then do that thing for whoever is younger on your team this season.
A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
What would you do differently if you were the coach?
MORE IN TIME, MORTALITY & LEGACY
- A deadline is just time with a fence around it. So is a life. That’s not a reason to panic. It’s a reason to pick.
- Your time goes to whoever asks the loudest unless you decide who gets it first.
- The couple who’s ordered the same thing every Friday for years isn’t boring. They found something worth repeating.
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
