Coaches
I hope your season went well. I have a question. What do you do to keep your players (and staff sometimes) focused on the process of being a winner as opposed to big game X in 2 weeks, big game Y in week 8 etc? We really stressed to our players that the most important thing for us was the next day of practice and getting better. We really bought into the "the process is everything" mantra. For those of you who agree with me, what do you do with your team to keep them focused on just getting better every day and approaching games with that same mindset?
Along them lines...Kids know when they are playing a lesser oppoenent. As coaches we can try to build the other team up or point out the strengths but most kids just know. What do you do to keep them focused on their individual and team improvement as opposed to who they are playing?
