PHILOSOPHY OF A WINNING CULTURE

"Little Details Add Up Until They Produce a Beautiful Dream or a Horrible Nightmare...
​Every Detail Matters"

COACHING PHILOSOPHY

Although coaches wear many hats, the concept of “educator” comes to mind when describing my ideals on what defines a successful coach. The two professions coalesce and easily can be interchanged when describing one another.  I inspire and prepare individuals to become better individually and then empower a group of individuals to become a family to achieve goals they couldn't achieve individually. I set high standards for myself and the community I am connected too, while maintaining the focus of the objectives.  Educators study their profession through evaluating the microcosm of their art through self-reflection, observing their vocation through different vantage points, and assessing what needs to be mastered in order for their students to be successful.  As an educator, I encourage questions to be asked and build strong relationships that don't break but strengthen under the pressures of adversity.   Although I am a coach, I am a student of my craft and I encourage the people I influence to be students of their craft.  Every decision is a teaching moment, and every decision can be connected to the objectives that are being sought out to determine if our actions are in line with our goals.  

Furthermore, a coach also means a device that moves passengers from one place to another, whether by land, sea, or air.  As a coach, I am responsible for taking care of my passengers while they transition into adulthood.  I must provide a challenging atmosphere for my players that teaches them how to protect their mind, heart, body, and soul during their journey to understanding and embracing their purpose in life. Throughout this journey I focus on the importance of systems. What they are and why it is important to not only establish systems, but master systems in life.  Preparation, making the right decisions, understanding their opponent's mindset and tendencies versus their own strengths and weaknesses will put them on the road to success.  In order for this to be achieved, a coach must create an atmosphere that allows for absolute truth to be discovered, respected, and accepted through collaboration while protecting the sanctity of the individual and team.  When the coach has successfully turned a team into a family, the team resembles a family which no longer competes against each other through negative conflict, but through harmonious competition  that strengthens the individual and team to overcome any adverse situation; this allows the team to be strengthened because truth is not only being continually practiced and pursued but each family member is being held accountable to that truth.  The pursuit and the acceptance of truth, accountability, and execution of the found truth are ideals that are the cornerstone of a successful community.

The role of educator is synonymous with my ideals of being a coach.  High standards, assessment through different vantage points, learning while teaching, keeping the team as the focal point, protecting players through the transition of learning, and teaching players to develop and master systems are the expectations I have set for myself.  Players will learn how to master life while playing the game of basketball and develop into individuals who succeed far beyond their own potential while paying it forward.

WE ALL COMPETE

Whether you love or hate sports, we all have to compete.  There is no way to avoid competition if your goal is to progress.   In order to win in the world of sport, the corporate world, and in life you must be athletic.  Athletic as defined is physically strong and active; involving the use of physical skills or capabilities, as strength, agility or stamina.   We are all athletic in our own way.  How physically and mentally athletic are you?  You determine how athletic you are by how well you prepare and perform your job.  Your stamina is defined by how well you navigate through life physically and mentally.   Companies determine how athletic they are by how well they compete with their competition and retain their talent.   Their stamina is defined by how well they succeed and stay in business.  In order to be successful you have to have an offensive and defensive game plan.   If you plan to progress you should have a philosophy and plan that will help you understand how to achieve your goals as quickly and efficiently as possible.  Your success will be predicated on if you are consistent with keeping the DEALS you have made with yourself and how mentally and physically athletic you are.   

​How will you handle the adversity you will have to endure during your journey towards achieving your goals and dominating your career?
