Personal connections
Stay connected
Single strong tree analogy. Team beats talent when talent isn’t a team. A famous coach once said, “It ain’t about the X’s and O’s it’s about the Jimmy and Joes” That is very true. Take time to connect with your team. Go out after the game, come in early and catch a local game. Bring the wives on a trip when you are close to home or going to a place they all would enjoy. Call members rather than sending an . Conference call with a few rather than calling each and going back and forth when there is a play/situation to discuss.
