TIPS FROM COACH K

These are taken form Coach K's book Leading With the Heart


If your culture is properly developed, then in the heat of competition, when you have to slam home a message, an individual or the team will respond as well.


• If you’re always striving for success that is defined by someone else, you’ll always be frustrated. Define your own success.

• Whatever a leader does now sets up what he does later. And there’s always later.

• Every long-term strategy must be adjustable, and people on the team must be prepared accordingly. Teach them to adjust.

• Success is a matter of preparing to win.

• Goals should be realistic, attainable, and shared among all members of the team.

• Never set a goal that involves number of wins- never. Set goals that revolve around playing together as a team. Doing so will put you in a position to win every game.

• Progress has to monitored on a regular basis, and good work has to be rewarded and encouraged.

• Every goal has to be worthy of the team’s commitment.

• If you’re not fully committed to a course of action that allows use of your team’s full commitment, then change your course of action.

• Every season is a journey. Live it with exuberance and excitement. Live it right.
