Asking Better Questions

During yesterday's match, Coach Scott Celli exhorted the team, "what do you want to become?" 

Better questions yield better answers. Matt Haig wrote, "the plot of every book ever can be boiled down to ‘someone is looking for something'." Who and why become subservient to what and how. What do you want to become and how do you get there? 

Elite coaches at every level help players and teams arrive at a destination that they cannot reach alone. "We can go faster alone but we go farther together." 

Excellent teams play in the moment, prepared to make the next play. Adversity isn't in the rearview mirror. They smash the rearview mirror.

Sherlock Holmes 'magic' comes from his powers of observation not divination. That permits him to find "more of what is working and less of what isn't." He's inspired by the chase. "The game's afoot!" 

Playwright David Mamet says of the Hero's Journey, "Who wants what from whom? What happens if they don't get it? Why now?"



Every team has to ask, "what do you want?" 

Clarity lives in the moment.
