Here is an interesting article about how to become a better coach. I think it is valuable to read and think about when looking at our program from all angles (athletes, parents, outsiders). As provided in the description of the blog, everyone is welcome to know what we do, but they have to be around us to truly understand how we do things.
If I as a coach, can answer more of the how type questions, the better our program can be. Joe Newton for example, has over 100 guys on his team. How does he keep the 100th guy motivated to keep working hard? Much of our success will depend on the how, because a lot of people know the what (there are still some who miss the boat however, but that is due to laziness). It seems like the great coaches are the ones who figure out both the what and the how in the right combination.
