One of the things we say about communication, is we have difficult conversations in person, not text. That doesnt fly in our program Communication is not so that you can be understood, but so that you cannot be misunderstood. If we're not going to be world class on the field right now, then we need to be world class in everything else. If you want a head coaching job, you need to double down on relationship building. Kids want someone who can give them a clear vision, but they wont care unless they trust you. When you are trying to change the culture we want them quantum leaps. Slow down. Progress and speed have nothing to do with one another.Resources Resilience by Eric GreitensBelieve in BrynnBrian Kight Contact Info @FerraroOnAirFerraroOnAir@gmail.com@bxvillebaseballWebsite and Social Media sites for the show  www.aotcpodcast.com Twitter @aotc_podcast Facebook Ahead of the Curve Coaches Facebook group Instagram aotc_podcast Contact Info for Jonathan Twitter @j_gelnar7 Email jgelnar7@gmail.com
