The Practice Of Practice

Coaches clearly know the value of practice. But, I am not as clear about their relationship to practice. They are freaked out when circumstances prevent a scheduled practice. Or, the team has a “bad” practice. Or, they worry did we have enough practice? The truth is that no one knows the perfect number of practices [...]

A Dedicated Parent: Ass or Asset?

Several clients are in Tempe, Arizona this weekend for a big intercollegiate women’s golf tournament. They are the coaches and athletes from several teams. The majority of them are members of PAC 12 teams. Some are not. The teams and personalities on those teams shall remain nameless since the point of this is to address [...]

Jerry Tarkanian Inducted Into Hall Of Fame

There's A "Shark" In The Water This week my college roommate, Jerry Tarkanian, was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. I say, totally deserved and about time. I have never much cared for the “Shark” nickname. I can look at it this way ... perhaps in the same vein as “pool shark.” [...]

THE MYTHOLOGY OF LEADERSHIP

Consider for a moment, that a lot of the shortage is due to the fact that there is a model that the so-called œnatural-born leader fits that eliminates most of the population. Having [...]

How Long Can You Go?

I have been engaged in the world of coaching for a very long time and have been able to see that coaches have become more aware of the impact that they can have on their athletes.  I see it, also, with leaders in the business world. I think that leaders fundamentally care about the people [...]

ARE WE EVER GOING TO GET IT?

œGet what, you are asking.  My answer is this.  Are we ever going to get that we are killing ourselves on a regular basis?  Coaches may be guiltier of this than any other group of folks on the planet.  If not the planet, in this country. Every week I read about someone who had a [...]

So Much For Learning

I have been involved with learning on an active basis for fifty years  I say active as directly accountable for the learning process of others.  Simply said, œI am a coach. For 25 years I coached the game of basketball.  I coached at all the levels the game is played.  For more on my history, [...]

Us and Them

The other day I received an email from my son, Robert, that asked me two questions: -What are the three most important factors in being a championship team? -What are the most common pitfalls?

Making a Difference -Do you?

Twenty-five years ago I began pursuit of my dream which was to bat 1.000.  Bat 1.000?  Are you nuts?  How?  Where?  Of course, it isnt possible!  Who says? The dream was to make the kind of difference with everyone I coached that I knew coaches can make and more than that provide coaches and leaders [...]

Golf in Your Kingdom

One of the activities that the busy executive or coach will be seeking during this holiday season is the opportunity to get on the golf course. Some will have to travel to do it, given the weather. Living here on the œleft coast, as my New York friends would say, weather has never really been [...]
