In-Powered Coaching 101 Course
“I believe in freedom. I don’t believe in over-managing. I don’t believe in micromanaging. I believe in players being players, players being themselves, playing without restrictions. I never want to coach instincts out of you. I want you instincts to soar. The more you restrict freedom, the more you restrict creativity. To restrict creativity, which a lot of people do unknowingly, you are losing out on a tremendous opportunity to find out how good someone is. When you attempt to create a contrived version of somebody before permitting that person to show you what they are, you’re automatically setting restrictions.”
-Joe Maddon, Former MLB Manager
"I am very clear that there are two types of coaches: those who do nothing and those who do a lot of damage. I try to be in the first. The game is for the players and you can tell them a certain strategy, convince them, but then the decisive thing is their quality and commitment."
-Carlo Ancelotti, Manager of Real Madrid
There are only 2 ways to coach: Power or Force
Force is probably how you were coached. Old school, win-at-all-cost mentality. It made you feel lower energy emotions...
Shame
Fear
Apathy
Anger
It put players and coaches at war with each other. Coach against player.
But what if there was a better way?
What if we could transform that negative and destructive energy into a more constructive system where the players enjoyed their experience?
The Keep it 200 System shows you the possibility of a different and better way to coach. With Power.
