TeacherSystemTeamAthlete MotivationOvercoming RoadblocksSelf MotivationLove your kidsLove your family
1.Being a Successful TeacherCan you teach what you do not know??????
Where can one find the knowledge?BooksCoachesClinics
2.Develop a System for SuccessIt is said that there are many roads to Rome
Rockford and Their SystemPaavo System Lydiard and Traverse CityJack Daniels and National Champions
Believe in the system and then go to work
Workout Planning - Number one for Runner Success
Do not plan day to dayPlan daily- weekly-season at the beginningLog those times everydayChart Progress Progress ProgressYou cannot know where you are going if you do not know where you have beenPLAN PLAN PLAN PLAN
3.Team Team TeamTrack and Cross Country are Team Sports!!!!!!It is what makes it fun
You pick your captainsTeam Awards- newspapers-banners- announcementsIf you coach long enough:
You will have a great runnerYou will have a great team
But if you do not stress the team concept you will never achieve the status of having a great program and being a GREAT COACH
4. MOTIVATION of ATHLETESWhere does motivation come from?
Internal MotivationRare for athlete
External MotivationParents
ReligionCoach
The Coach is the Key Motivator
Do you have the Knowledge to get the job done?Do you have the ability to lead to get the job done?Do you have the commitment to get the job done?Do you have the desire to get the job done?
Race Day Motivation
Go over the competitionHave a plan – go over eventsPack running or Fast and hold onSlow and pass or Even paceMental Prep for field events, starts, hurdlesStories of the past (jean story)Be Prepared to change the planWhatever you do
DO NOT CONVINCE THEM OF THE IMPOSSIBLE
Do not lose their trustOnce lost,
they may never believe you again
THEY WILL DO WHAT YOU EXPECT THEM TO DOPYGMALION - IS THERE REALLY A LIMIT?
Four FactorsClimate – what is the environmental situationInput – correct physical and mental trainingOutput – their performanceFeedback – go over the performanceChallenge yourself to do these things- Make sure you do these things to get the results that you want
Final Thought On MotivationEveryone is a house of four rooms,
Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual , unless we go into each room everyday, even if only to keep it aired, we are not a complete person
It is our job as coaches to touch every room every day for every kid
5.Handle the RoadblocksStudent excuses It is hard to coach without devoted kids (1/2 sheet)
Now op top of that we have other roadblocks from our school system (1/2 sheet)
6. Self MotivationNo one can stay motivated without
Knowledge - System – Family - Belief in oneselfWhat are our limits?????
Our school just does not support me- WHY?????We just do not have enough athletes - WHY?????
These kids do not work hard enough - WHY?????If I just had some talent - WHY DON’T YOU??????WE NEED TO LOOK AT OURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR TEAM BY CHANGING YOURSELF
Be Positive When someone tells you it cannot be done, remind yourself how many times they have been wrong.Be Happy
Enjoy the athletes you have, do not worry about those who are not there
Success is knowing what you are doing, loving what you are doing, and believing what you are doing
Be PreparedKnowledge Knowledge Knowledge
Work Harder
We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.
Ask yourself
The difference between a successful person and
others is not their lack of strength, maybe not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
7. Love Your KidsThey are:
KidsStudentsHumans - not perfectAthletes
UniformShapeTeamConferenceStateCompetitive at all levels
Love them - and they will die for you
Use them for your record and they will not help your team
8.Family
Your won lost record is not importantSpending too much time trying to winSpending more time with your team than your familyWAKE- UP Or when you do there will be no one to share your success with and then and only then will you realize what success really is!
Remember that the best relationship is one in which
your love for each other, exceeds your need for each
other Dalai Lama
Everyone is a house of four rooms, the physical, emotional, spiritual and the mental, unless we go into each everyday, even
if only to keep it aired, we are not a complete person
Make sure you touch all four for you everyday and life will be good to you. For all the
success in the world is worth nothing without
someone to share it with!
Remember ThisEvery snot nosed, arrogant, jerk kid
you will have on your team is someone’s special love,
It might be a parent, grand-parent, brother, sister, neighbor
But he or she is someone’s special love - And if not
