Sean McVay says he has one question he believes every coach should regularly ask themselves, would you want to be coached by you
“My advice to coaches is simply be reminded by asking this question to yourself: Would you want to be coached by you? That’s one of those things that you can ask yourself to kind of keep you on track.”
“For coaches, it’s like, ‘Would you want to be coached by you?’ And really, I think for players too: ‘Would you want to be your teammate?’”
“If that’s the perspective, you can say, ‘All right, am I doing things that, if you’re really doing it at a high level as a coach, make this a powerful platform to have?’ Or to be a teammate in a leadership role.”
“I think the best leaders, they impact and influence positive change while also knowing that they’re human too. Give yourself some grace in the midst of the journey.”
“But for coaches, the appropriate perspective is: Would you want to be coached by you?”
