DON MEYER: "A coach who is not teaching leads to the worst thing in a program -- players not learning."This is a quote that Coach Meyer started off with in his "Last Stand" Coaching Academy" on June 3, 1999.
In a couple of ways it states directly who Coach is and what he stands for. He is the consummate teacher. With each breath he takes he thinking about what he can do with his team to improve them. For those who have spent time with Coach, it is commonplace, while in the middle of a conversation, for him to pull out his handheld recorder and speak a brief message about something that he thinks he can do for his team. But on an even grander scale, it represents what Coach has become to me and many other coaches. He is always looking for ways to take his Academy, his clinics, his videos and books to another level to better teach us.
There can be no better example than Don Meyer when looking for the most dedicated approach to both improving your team as well as improving your game.
