WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY -- CAN YOU SHARE IT IN A MINUTE?

Recently at a coaching clinic Pete Carroll, USC Head Football Coach asked the coaches if any of them had a coaching philosophy, and everyone raised their hand. Then he asked them if they could tell him in one minute… most people put their hand down. His was simple…“Win Forever”. Carroll explains, “Of course we want to win every game, but winning forever is simply realizing your potential and making yourself as good as you can be.” Other recent and simple examples have been, “Get Better” and “Ask as if…” How much can you simplify your philosophy into something short and concise. Could you text it to someone in a single message?
