THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM COACH (#23)

One thing that both players and coaches must work through are mistakes. This includes areas in both practice and games. The role of the coach is to be able to handle his mistakes as well as those of his team. It is an ongoing process because the one common denominator from coaches that I think are truly special is that they realize the importance of PROCESS OVER PRODUCT. We will delve into this in later blog but it is the journey and not the destination. Here is some advice that Coach has passed down to many of us in regard to mistakes.

MISTAKES...

....RECOGNIZE

...ADMIT

...LEARN

...FORGET

COACH MEYER: If you allow a player to make a mistake in practice and they turn around and make it in a game, it is your fault.

Coach also speaks to the point that in practice you can't "let anything slide by," but that in games you must learn to "let some things slide by."

In other words, there is a lot more teaching going on in practice where games are grounds for coaching and managing.
