I'm actually talking briefly about tradition in a clinic presentation I'm putting together. I understand how some traditions can feel like a chore, especially when new coaching staffs come in. That said, I think there can be great value in traditions and I think traditions can enhance a program's culture.
Some research led me to these points:
- Tradition contributes a sense of belonging. Traditions can often provide opportunities for non-football players to feel as part of the program.
- Traditions can reinforces core values which are fundamental in a program's culture.
- Traditions can provide a forum to showcase and celebrate success or behaviours that reflect your program's core values / culture.
- Traditions can offer a chance to say “thank you” for the contribution that someone has made to your program.
- Tradition can help us recognize alumni
- Tradition serves as an avenue for creating lasting memories
- Tradition offers an excellent context for meaningful pause and reflection
Ultimately, I think traditions help connect your Team to the people outside of the locker room. This in turn can help generate more support for your program. The more support you have, the easier it is to be successful.
