CULTURE OVER SCHEMES: ALL IN GOAL SETTING SYSTEM

Setting goals is one of the most important foundations a team can have when establishing a culture. It sets into motion everything that needs to take place for players, coaches and the group to improve during the upcoming season. We will focus on 3 Goals: Team Goals, Individual Goals, and Coaching staff goals. This will keep everyone accountable of the goals that have been set which will indicate our program progression. More importantly, it creates a family atmosphere which leads to trust, unity, and faith.

 

• Team Goals: These kids want to be a part of something special, they will work hard for something they’ll believe in. We will set team goals that are challenging, use input from both the players and the coaching staff and customize steps for how each player and coach can contribute.

 

• Individual Goals: It’s important to make sure our athletes are setting goals specific to their aspirations and that the goals will be true challenges to increase their skills and abilities. Ultimately, achievement of individual goals should funnel into the accomplishment of team goals.

 

• Coaching Goals: We will focus on specific improvements the coaching staff needs as well as the improvements you’re looking for from the team. Assess these goals, and outline what you can do as a coaching staff to reach these goals, whether it’s increasing off-season participation or winning your league.

 

• Accountability: If players don’t have any accountability, they will not achieve their goals, ultimately hurting the team goal. This is why having a coaching staff that motivates the players throughout the off-season is important, but having teammates that hold each other accountable in a respectful way is just as important. Captains are an extension of coaches. We will communicate with the captains and tell them our expectations to keep themselves and their teammates accountable.
