You learn a lot when you Coach. After three decades of coaching, here are 28 of the most important things I have learned. Maybe they will resonate with you. 28 Lesson Learned. 1. Coaching is all about relationships. Work to build relationships with your players. 2. Play the long game with culture. There are no shortcuts to success. 3. Develop your leaders. Don’t hope or wish for leaders. 4. You are never as good as you think in a win. And after a loss, you are never as bad. 5. When in doubt, less is more. The earlier you learn this, the better. 6. As the coach, you are the leader. Lead by example in all you do. 7. Culture is what you allow and what you emphasize. 8. Create practices with a purpose. 9. Do things in groups of 3’s.
