Relationships in the Building

Creating relationships with the players, building trust

Be proactive
Try to learn the little details about recruits in case a coach asks you something about them
When guys come on campus and they ask about you is a sign of doing a good job building real relationships

On-Field Value

Putting ego to the side
No one cares what you know about scheme
Watch and learn

In the offseason, work on how you deliver your message
Find ways kids can learn as easy as possible
As you add more value, you receive more responsibility
