Coaching Culture

“Good coaches are quitting, preferring to walk away than put themselves and their families through the lifestyle.” This quote on social media by our (return) guest on the podcast, Cody Royle, is the topic of this episode. Most recently, he released his book: The Tough Stuff. In this episode, JP and Nate discuss even more of 'the tough stuff' that coaching requires. √ Understanding the cause of the exodus √ The Player Empowerment Movement √ Fear still exists, but the table has turned Guest website: https://www.codyroyle.com Guest twitter: @CodyRoyle Get Your Copy of JP's Newest Book, The Culture System, now at: myculturesystem.com Become Part of Our Mentorship Program (Click here tocculture.com for more information).

The end of the year and the end of the season bring a lot of reflection. Most, if not all, coaches vow to be better before each season or year begins. Yet, we oftentimes find ourselves in the same ruts with the same burnt-out thoughts tempted to blame or shame our players and spend more and more time at the office by the time mid-season frustrations set in. In this episode, JP and Nate discuss personal values and the obstacles that keep us from prioritizing those said values. √ When you can’t do all you feel compelled to do √ The willingness to sacrifice the sacred cow √ Journal each day & track habits to debrief Get Your Copy of JP's Newest Book, The Culture System, now at: myculturesystem.com Become Part of Our Mentorship Program (Click here tocculture.com for more information).

Playing time. It is without a doubt the most common confrontational issue at all levels in all sports. Players, and even parents, are often irrational and biased about what they or their kid(s) deserve when it comes to playing time. Coaches must make a point to communicate roles and set the expectations as honest and upfront as possible. This strategy is not bulletproof, but it is beneficial in many ways. Join JP and Nate as they discuss ideas that have proven successful again and again. √ Make no mistake: Coaches will be questioned √ The importance of performance measures for playing time √ Acknowledge when decisions are made without certainty √ Establishing subbing strategies and sharing with players Get Your Copy of JP's Newest Book, The Culture System, now at: myculturesystem.com Become Part of Our Mentorship Program (Click here tocculture.com for more information).
