It's difficult for a team to become something its coach is not.
โAs a coach, you canโt just wear the sweatshirt, you have to sweat too. You got to do the work." -- Tara VanDerveer
Culture is built through what a coach models just as much (if not more) than the messages they give.
If you want a team that handles adversity, you show them what poise looks like. If you want a team that embraces feedback, you show them youโre actively learning and open to growth too.
Culture doesnโt start with players. It starts with the leader.
