Notes

• Survey at the end of fall to discuss role and communicate expectations
• Want guys moving faster during practice
• The standard is the standard! It doesn’t matter what jersey I am wearing
• Kids have to know the orders - 
  • High school - we still want the kids the win no matter if they play the next level or not
  • Travel - we still have a standard and kids can use to help speed up their progression
• Find multiple ways to say things to help with multiple kids
• It's a hard conversation to tell someone they are not meeting the standard, and most time the kids know it
• Has not changed that coaches want to see them
• Rise in the value of college camps
• The player themselves gets them recruited
• Coach gives an honest assessment that is credible
• My job is to gives honest feedback/criticism
• Leave it better than you found it
