Core Principles
 A Tool of Consciousness

 Youth Coaching is Learning

 Coach the Yourself/Player

 Authenticity

 Fundamentals is Power
Motivation

 a motivating force, stimulus, or influence :


incentive, drive (e, g., Vince Lombardi, Iron Mike, Chuck Knoll, Tony Dungy)

 The Old Coaching Paradigm was a Myth


Who AM I?
What Do I want to Do and become?

 Players’ Personal Identity


 Identity development needs to be nurtured and
supported to ensure student-athletic achievement

 Ensure that players become goal-oriented, self-confident,


and socially- and academically competent persons

 Only when players begin to understand themselves


(strengths, weaknesses), their needs, and their goals –
and can monitor and regulate their behavior – can they
be athletically successful on the field
Motivation

 Youth Players Internal Psychological Needs


 Self-determination theory
 Autonomy
 Competence
 Relatedness
 Rather than asking, “How can I motivate my players?,”
coaches should ask themselves
 "How can I create the conditions within which my players will
motivate themselves?“

Team War Cry
Never surrender greatness.  Never allow that torch to dim.  In spite of all
odds, believe and trust with a fury none will doubt.  Without this faith,
one may hesitate when greatness is but near.  Live in this state of
boldness; permit breath to sear the lips with this conviction.

Regardless of the opponents’ might and posture, victory is but assured. 


So stand your ground, submerged in what is the inevitable.  The
glorious moment, the exact time, that the opponent realizes,

“I am up against greatness.”

Coach Robert Williams
