I’m going to lose a few subscribers after this one. And that’s okay.
200 is the critical point on the map for a reason. So many beautiful things happen there.
Your goal for the season is simple. Get every player that currently calibrates below 200 to 200 or higher by the season’s end. If you can do this, you’ve given them the greatest gift a coach can provide for a player.
What is that gift?
What comes with reaching 200?
Courage.
And… Self-accountability.
I know, the job of a ‘real’ coach is to hold everyone accountable, right? Even the big-time Twitter accounts are parroting the BS… And yes, it’s BS.
People that need authoritative accountability are people who calibrate in the victimhood energy that exists below 200.
Your job is not to babysit and hold them accountable. Your job is to empower them, provide love in your teaching and transmute your energy into them so they want to ascend and stop being a victim. Stop needed their hand-held. Stop needing a ‘coach’ to ‘correct’ them.
That’s your function.
Not being the accountability provider. If your job is this, your system needs work.
So instead of wasting your energy on that, come at it from the back way, create this environment:
Reminder: Force only governs when it’s present, maybe this is why people need ‘accountability’ buddies as 35-year-old men… Another reason to abolish Force Coaching, to create high-performing adults who are whole without a ‘coach’ telling them what to do:
How you go about creating this, is up to you. The principle is to be less ‘seen’ as the season goes on, not more front and center. Make yourself redundant by teaching them how to be self-starting, self-reliant, and self-accountable while watching out for their friends too.
I’m not going to hold your hand or keep you accountable for doing it… See what I did there?
Force keeps them in check.
Power lends itself to being your best self and ‘checking’ on your brothers.
Force checks top-down.
Power checks all around.
