" Book of Hag Modern coaches have to adjust their approach to today's sophisticated ' athletes. Remember: things are more like they are today than they ever were ' u before. ' With that thought in mind, here are some thoughts that may help you be 0 a better coach. I have divided these thoughts into areas, so read carefully: COMMUNICATION: Good coaches are able to communicate with their players. They have to know your philosophy, what you really want. Remember, ' the careful application of terror is also a form of communication. Perhaps you can make them afraid to make a mistake. ASSISTANT COACHES: Always pick assistant coaches who think logical-l' You don't just want a lot of yes men. Its hard to be logical w'hen youre ; coaching. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world. SIMPLICITY: Some of you coaches are too complex. As it is written, "Keep it simple, stupid. Its not how much you know, but how much you can teach. Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler. CRITICISM: In athletics, there will always be criticism. You will be criti- ; qued by friends, enemies, the press, the players, the faculty, and even the principal. You should also critique yourself. Be hard on yourself. Remember, suicide is the most sincere form of ' TRUTH : Always run a truthful program Be honest, even when the officials arent. Things are probably as bad as they can get, but dont count on it. Truth is about all we have, even though sometimes the truth doesnt make sense. If you think there is good in everyone, you havent met everyone. FATS AND LARDS: You will never win in a good league without good ; athletes. A fat 250 pounder is still just a fat kid. Other things being equal, fat people use more soap. So if you have a lot of lards, buy more soap for the of your life is game day and the more shower room. Remember, times the other team runs over your fat left tackle, the flatter he will get. THE GOAL LINE: Dont spend your whole coaching career trying to get people to move the goal line closer to your team, or to lower the basket on your end of the floor. Dont try to make ends meet on a coachs salary. You need another income sour A. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends. I would give you more advice that would help your coaching, like never pet center.
