One Size Does Not Fit All

Principles cross domains. One that plays is, "do more of what works and less of what doesn't." 

Exceptional coaches like Scott Celli practice core principles:

1. What is best for the team comes first. 

2. Put players in the best position to succeed. 

3. "Every day is player development day." There is no substitute for more skill. 

4. When things aren't going as well as desired:

• "Do it harder." 
• "Do it better." 
• "Change personnel." 
• "It ain't working; change strategy." 

5. Coaches tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Champions don't skip steps. Champions don't cut corners. 

6. To succeed in the future, look to the past. 

"Sankofa is a Ghanaian akansha symbol system--one of the eight created by Africans to communicate among each other. It literally translates to "look to the past to inform the future." This sheds light on the struggles of enslaved African peoples." 

Veteran coaches call upon experience and know how.
