Hardwood Hustle

Staff leadership might be the most overlooked skill in coaching, and one of the toughest. TJ, Sam, and Lisa explore what it takes for an assistant coach to bring value and grow, and what head coaches owe their staffs in return. Along the way they tackle why communication sits at the root of nearly every staff breakdown, why you should hire people you can "do life with," and how to correct a coach mid-practice without undermining them. They get candid about moody staffs, owning your mistakes, and the relational deposits that carry a group through the peaks and valleys of every season.Show notesStaff leadership has no blueprintCommunication needsGet alignmentValues over talentEveryday keys to successDifferences from leading your playersEQ over Xs and OsThe right way to correctOwning your mistakesCompete, serve, humilityStay out of the weedsOffering your gifts and talentsSwallow the frogSend us a Message.
