Coach -

Happy Game Day Coaches!

I know one thing that I always fretted over on Friday’s was exactly what I was going to say to my team before we took the field.

In talking with coaches, I know there are many different philosophies and ways to handle it. For example, Rick Jones, a nine-time state champ at Greenwood in Arkansas (he’s with Mizzou Football now), didn’t deliver a pregame speech. He rolled a TV in front of them, and they watched a quick highlight of themselves performing well.

Chuck Kyle, the 11-time state champion from Cleveland St. Ignatius, delivered passionate, fiery speeches that had his team charging out the door.

How you handle it is a very personal thing that must fit your style.

I do believe that there are some keys to how to do it right, and I put that together in a quick course that is available here:

Here are the topics I cover:

1. Stereotypes - Hollywood vs. Reality
2. Momentum is the Key
3. Planning Throughout the Week
4. Less is More
5. Six Guidelines for Creating and Delivering Your Speech

Plus preparation and feedback, routine, and even using props.

Here’s the introductory video:

As I said, however, you choose to send them out the door is uniquely you.

Good luck tonight!
