Every coach develops a philosophy. It usually takes time. For me, my coaching philosophy evolved over several years and in some ways, it is still evolving. My philosophy goes well beyond the X's and O's of the game and dwells on the secrets of uniting and motivating my players. In this book, you will find 50 tips I have learned through almost 600 games of coaching (426-161 record). Some of the things I learned the hard way - through failure. Some I have learned through successes and some I have learned from studying the great coaches and motivators in athletics. These 50 tips will not guarantee a championship or a winning season. However, I do believe they will help make your seasons more successful. More importantly than winning games and championships, these tips will help you create a relationship with your players that cannot help but motivate them to become not only better athletes, but more importantly better people. I have found that when I began to implement these things in my coaching, my joy and since of purpose escalated. As a result, my teams became more successful, and my players had more fun. Winning more games is a natural byproduct.
