A few days ago I asked what you want from this community:
- Spring ball practice ideas
- Culture / team building
- Leadership & captains
- Offense
- Player accountability
- Weekly messaging
š Today hits #2 and #5 immediately.
They need to fix whatās already happening.
š§ The Tool (Send This Today)
Send your team a Google Form with 3 questions:
START ā What do we need more of?
STOP ā Whatās hurting our team?
CONTINUE ā What must we keep doing?
ā” Why this works
- Players are more honest (no peer pressure)
- You hear from everyone
- You get real data
š No one washes a rental car.
Players donāt invest in what they donāt own. But when they have a voiceā¦
- They protect it
- They care about it
- They hold each other accountable
šÆ Now do this (donāt skip it)
- Review the responses
- Look for patterns (what shows up the most)
- Pull out your top 2ā3 āSTOPā and āSTARTā items
- Bring it to the team and talk about it
Donāt lecture. Donāt spin it.
Let them see it. Let them own it.
š Run this every 3ā4 months.Your team will start to expect itāand value it.
*Also send it to your assistant coaches.
Youāll get honest feedback on your staff, structure, and communicationānot just your players.
