“I’m a Salesman” - Chuck Daly

"I'm a salesman." - Chuck Daly (two time NBA Champion coach)

You may not realize it, but we're constantly selling. Persuasion is our business as a teacher, a retailer, a health care worker. 

And of course, as a coach. Coaches seek to add value through building skills, athleticism, game knowledge, resilience, and more. And players "buy in" to the program seeking minutes (court time), shots (role), and compensation (money for professionals and recognition at other levels). 

Coaches reward those who do what they teach, how they teach it, at the right time. And players perform both hard and soft skills.

"The magic is in the work," so be prepared to do the unrequired work that separates extraordinary from ordinary. In school that might mean reading five more pages or five more problem sets. And in sports it may mean five more sprints or taking five more serves. 

Coaches see everything. You're selling your game.

  1. I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
