Another coach referred to Melrose as a legacy program. What key elements build execution?
- Personnel
- Strategy
- Operations
Personnel
- Coaching - "the only shortcut to excellence is mentoring"
- Players - "you can't coach size and it's hard to create athletic explosion"
- "Every day is player development day." Build skill.
Strategy
- "Be good at what you do a lot."
- "Do more of what works and less of what doesn't." (Edit!)
- Emphasize clarity and mature simplicity
Operations
- Top teams play better schedules. Beating weak teams is fool's gold.
- Off-season development is critical to foster competitive players. Unrequired work separates the best
- Constantly focus on adding value and promoting competition
Dartmouth (southeastern Massachusetts) is one of the Maxpreps.com MIAA 2 top 5 ranked teams. Their Maxpreps page shows highlights. They don't have elite size but have excellent team coordination.
Melrose notes: Melrose hosts Wilmington tomorrow (Wednesday). Wilmington took a set from Woburn recently.
