The right player in the right place.

The Genius of Coach Herb Brooks!
Let's unpack this video from the movie Miracle.
Coach Herb Brooks, played by Kurt Russell, meets his new assistant coach at the facility.
1. Herb Brooks is already fast at work when the assistant coach arrives.
Lead by example.
2. Herb tells Craig, "You were a hell of a player, and you will make a hell of a coach."
This statement shows Craig that Herb has total confidence in his ability to coach.
3. Herb tells Craig to stick tight with these kids and tell him if there are any big problems.
This sets expectations and gives Graig responsibilities.
4. Herb says, "I am not looking for the best players; I am looking for the right players."
This is fundamental to leadership. You need the right players in the right place.
5. Herb shows complete faith in Jim Craig as a player.
You need to believe in someone until they believe in themselves.
Herb Brooks understands the task at hand and how to build a team to become a champion.
In just two minutes, Coach Herb Brooks sets the table for how he will coach this team to victory. You need to do the same.
Stop managing and start coaching your team to be the best that they can be.
Be the coach that they deserve.
Go coach 'em up and make it a great day!
