Good coaching is about leadership and instilling respect in your players. Dictators lead through fear - good coaches do not.

Effective leaders are, first and foremost, good teachers. We're in the education business.

Confidence - Poise and confidence are not possible unless you have prepared correctly. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. Poise and confidence are a natural result of proper preparation.

Never let your emotions overrule your head.

Never allow anyone else to define your success.

The leader has to command the respect of all those under his supervision - and he must be open to those under his supervision. Effective leadership means having a lot of people working toward a common goal. And when you have that with no one caring who gets the credit, you're going to accomplish a lot. If you have those just wanting the credit for themselves, you're not going to get as much accomplished.

Make greatness attainable by all.
