Think of a word that Coach Dags describes.
✅ Focused

✅ Engaged
✅ Good Energy
Those qualities make it easy to coach a player. A lot of players don’t realize that if they just locked in on those every day, it would become almost impossible not to improve or impact their team. pic.twitter.com/kVQariNAeB
"Professionalism." As a young player, you ask, "how can I learn the ropes?"
1) Always be on time.
2) Listen. Be a sponge. Be coachable.
3) Hunger for improvement. Ask 'how can I do this better?'
4) Attach yourself at the hip to an experienced player. That's the Mr. Rogers, "look for the helpers."
5) As a leader, embrace mentoring young players. "Mentoring is the only shortcut to excellence." Have ambition to achieve big things. Just as the young player needs you, you will find you need them to compete in practice and sometimes make plays, especially later in the season.
Lagniappe. Defenders are light on their feet.
