I just read this interview with Pete Carroll on SB Nation and found this quote really interesting:
The last paragraph is a great challenge to coaches to find ways to get their message across to their kids. As we're in the middle of doubles I find that the energy we had just a few days ago isn't the same and we need to double down on our core values and bringing back the energy. This can happen in the middle of a season too.
What are some ways that you a) keep your message fresh and find ways to fascinate your kids each day and b) how to do you "feed the monster?"
You will find a way to make your message fresher. You’ll find a way to make your connections in a way that will continue to inspire and direct and motivate. That’s what I’m banking on.
This is not a how-to. This is a who you are.
You do what you have to do to compete, and that takes you to places where you are in a relentless state to find an edge and compete. That mentality keeps you on and on point. The how is following the drive, being resourceful and creative.
I would say this: It’s not how you get your message across. It’s how many creative ways you find to get your message across until it finds a way to hit home so you can try to connect with people. The how-to is all about day in, day out finding a way to feed the monster, the drive that lives inside.
