If you are a college football fan like me, you’ve probably been amazed at all the volatility in the BCS standings, especially with the top ranked teams. It seems that on a weekly basis, there has been a major upset and whoever the new #1 and #2 teams are, they have been bounced out by someone else. It happened again this past weekend when Kansas was defeated at home by Missouri, who then claimed the #1 spot themselves. I can’t remember a football season that has been as unpredictable as this one. It makes for a very entertaining time for football fans.
How volatile is your coaching life? Do you go through stretches where things seem topsy-turvy in your world? That may not be as entertaining to you as a college football season. The reality is that change and volatility are part of coaching. How you respond to it will decide your success or failure.
The one constant you always have is how well you present yourself. There’s an old saying that a great salesperson will never be without a job. That’s because regardless of the times, if you are a dynamic and persuasive presenter, you will be highly sought after. The same can be said for coaches. If you are able to motivate your players and communicate with parents, your season will be more successful regardless of wins and losses. Believe me, motivating and communicating are skills, just like dribbling or hitting a baseball. You need to practice them on a daily basis to be good.
Don’t overlook the most important coaching skill that can put you head and shoulders over your competition and make for an enjoyable career. Communicating and presenting will make sure you stay #1!
