NumberTwo:
We live in a cut and paste generation. I implore coaches to “think” about what they are doing and why they are doing it. Don’t just copy blindly. Use your brain, observe the results, make adjustments and move forward. This is how you learn. You will make mistakes. If you are not making mistakes, you are too stupid to notice and/or too proud to admit as such.
But if you don’t put the work behind your plans and learn in an organic process, you will be doomed to make the same mistakes over and over again. Everyone thinks they are smarter because they have collected more and more information. It is like drilling for oil and not having the knowledge or means to refine it and bring it to the marketplace. Use your brain, apply your thoughts in a logical manner and gain wisdom.
Anyone who has spent any useful length of time with Charlie will know that “this” is what he wanted to convey the most - the quest for wisdom, not information. Find out what is useful and discard all that is not useful. In the final analysis, are your athletes improving?
Never enough said,N2. I miss some good ol’ times discussion here. Nor stimuli for such a discussion seem to have created the desired response lately. More attacks,and words vainly taken and spent personally,no real discussion. Surely not what Charlie expected from all of us.
