Apologies for missing last week. things were a little crazy between coaching and my groomsman responsibilities in my buddies wedding...
I kind of struggled with what to put for my quote this week. I know I've already taken a bit from another chapter about leading by example, and there are several other good thoughts in this chapter that are well worth noting, but I'm going to use it anyway.
"The things you hope to teach those under you are best taught by your own behavior - demonstration" (p. 97)

"Good things take time" (pg 96)
ReplyDeleteLeaders have to have patience. I think this applies to volleyball as we our helping with our JV and C teams. They aren't as good as us yet and we have to accept that and do our best to help them succeed. We have to remember that we were in their shoes once, and people had patience with us.
By the way, I'm in Russia, so I'll post whenever I have access to the internet.
ReplyDelete"...before telling someone what to do you must teach them how to do it. And this process requires PATIENCE."
Like Kasey said you must have patience. It applies to basketball, just as much as volleyball. You cannot just expect those under you to know what to do. You must teach them how. For all you know this could be their first time ever hearing it. Even those on the higher team with you may not know something, and you must be patient with them until they know what to do, because it will benefit the whole team.
"...just an effective teacher who understands the power of settinga good example, especially when it comes to standards and values."
ReplyDeleteDemonstrating and setting a good example are very effective ways to teach. It does take time and patience, but will eventually pay off. The individual as well as the team as a whole will benifit from the time taken to learn and teach.
Teaching others a new skill requires patience. "Some of those under your supervision will catch on quickly, others not." Sometimes just telling someone how to do something isn't enough, so you need to show them. By setting a good example and showing those you are teaching that you are committed to helping them, they will be encouraged to work hard to learn.
