ULTIMATE COACHES' CLINIC: BILL BELICHICK

In 2008, Pat Williams, the GM of the Orlando Magic and a tremendous motivational speaker put out a book, "The Ultimate Coaches' Clinic." It is a fascinating book because of the style Pat utilized. He surveyed over 1000 coaches and administrators for insights to what is important to successfully do their job. It is a great book to own and I highly recommend it. Here are some thoughts from Bill Belichick:

• When you’re the head coach, you’re the head coach 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No matter what happens, it’s on your watch, and to a degree, it’s your problem.

• Take care of the tiniest detail, because the little details add up until they represent significant differences. Let nothing slip through the cracks.

• There’s no celebration of any victory in the past. Work for the next victory, the one yet to come. You cannot allow complacency.
