Establish A Purpose

“Great leaders are those who understand the art before the science. They win hearts before minds. They are the ones who start with WHY.”

Simon Sinek

Often we jump into the daily task of coaching without a solid foundation. That is, we dive into detail without contemplating the larger picture. We do not want to make that mistake in this course.

We all have deep motivations for coaching. Exploring these will provide us a solid foundation upon which we may build. Our purpose can easily be lost in the heat of competition and the challenges of daily distractions. Those among us who define our purpose well and stay close to that sincerity are the best coaches of young people.

With this in mind, we begin where we should. We begin by defining our “why” and articulating it clearly.

In this section, you will complete a very practical exercise that will serve as a foundation for all activities you conduct with your athletes.

You will establish a clear purpose.
