Are You a Dream Team Coach?

Whether you are an avid Super Bowl Fan or not – we can all learn from an all star coach.

 

Too often, we expect specific results from our team and then get disappointed.

 

Let’s examine how a Dream Team Coach operates.

 

Every good coach works with a game plan.  It is not only an individual plan but a team plan and a long term plan.  And the coach reminds people of the game plan.

 

The coach:

1. Tells the player what is expected of them – how they fit into the game plan and what they should try to do.

 

2. Gives them opportunity to perform – in other words – Give them room to be good.

 

3. Lets them know how they are getting along – this gives them the opportunity to learn, improve and increase their contribution.

 

4. Instruct them when they need it – this gives them the means to learn, improve and increase their contribution.

 

5. Reward them.  This gives incentive for their effort.

 

A Dream Team Coach Takes the Time to Huddle 

When a team huddles, it recalls the game plan and how it is to be implemented.  It is an opportunity to listen, possibly make personnel changes, make play changes and to rest. When there is no huddle there is confusion and less than optimal performance.

 

Every dream team needs to huddle

 

Creating a dream team is a process.  Enjoy every step, and apply the principles of a dream team coach.
