Tailoring a Team
April 12th, 2007
The way a coach sculpts the organization of the team: assistants, the players, parents, and policies she must work within sets how everyone perceives her intentions and evaluates her decision-making. This can completely change people’s perspective of you for the worse or the better. It is difficult to learn a system and day by day create your own within that system taking into consideration all the families involved and changes constantly taking place. I have always been very idealistic and so prepare for the best and expect the best from everyone. I like to think that setting these high standards makes us a better society working together in a forward wave of energy. I also like to think I’m pragmatic when need be. What I am learning is the in between… the gray area when working with a person in a particular way can seamlessly join the above 2 concepts for the best result: in other words, people skills. Keeping it real while keeping it fruitful. Finding this balance can make all the difference in the world.
How do you make this work for you?
