Subject: This makes coaching easier
Date: Thursday November 5, 2026
Life gets easier when you know who you are. Or at least, it gets different.
When you’re struggling through your 20s trying to figure it out, things are tough.
You have a boring job you don’t care about. You bounce from one crazy ex-girlfriend to another. You move from one crappy apartment and weird roommate to the next.
Then things start to come together.
You find a career path. Meet the woman of your dreams. You settle down, buy a nice house in the suburbs, and things get easier.
(that’s the plan, anyway)
Coaching gets easier when you know who you are, too.
Early on, you’re bouncing from playbook to playbook. Often it’s not even your choice.
You have trouble getting players to buy in because you don’t even buy into some of the stuff you’re selling either.
Your vision of how things should be gets squeezed by pressure from administration, other coaches on staff, players and parents.
Eventually, you know who you are. And that makes every decision easier.
This goes beyond X’s and O’s. It is your conviction to the things you truly believe.
It is specific. It is always at the front of your mind. Everyone around you knows it, too.
This is your coaching philosophy.
Ask most coaches if they have a philosophy, they’ll tell you they do.
Ask them what it is? Different story. You rarely get a good answer.
But ask a great coach…
If you could ask John Wooden, Nick Saban, or Vince Lombardi?
You’d get a great answer. And it wouldn’t take long.
Now is the perfect time to build your coaching philosophy. And I put together a guide to do it.
