I’D LIKE TO THANK SCOTT GARSON WHO IS AN ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY BRONCOS IN SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA IN THE WEST COAST CONFERENCE IN NCAA DI COACHED BY HERB SENDEK FOR SHARING ADVICE WITH THE CANNON NETWORK. HE SHARED, “MY ADVICE TO YOUNG COACHES WOULD BE TO HAVE ENTHUSIASM FOR EVERY TASK YOU ARE GIVEN AND TO DEVELOP A RELENTLESS WORK ETHIC SO THAT YOU CAN BE RELIED ON BY YOUR TEAM AND OTHER STAFF MEMBERS. WHETHER YOU ARE DOING THE LAUNDRY AND SWEEPING THE FLOOR BEFORE PRACTICE OR YOU ARE DEVELOPING A RECRUITING RELATIONSHIP AND WORKING OUT A PLAYER, EVERYTHING MATTERS AND YOU SHOULD TAKE PRIDE IN DOING IT WELL AND IN A TIMELY MANNER. YOUR NAME AND REPUTATION IS STAMPED ON EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO. WORK WITH INTEGRITY AND ELIMINATE COMPLAINTS ABOUT YOUR DUTIES AND EXCUSES AS TO WHY YOU ARE UNABLE TO MAKE A LARGER IMPACT IN YOUR PROGRAM’S SUCCESS. TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO DO MORE WHEN OPPORTUNITIES ARE OFFERED TO YOU; BY TREATING EVERY TASK THAT YOU NEED TO DO AS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR YOUR PROGRAM’S SUCCESS, YOU WILL FIND THAT OTHERS WILL RELY ON YOU TO DO MORE AND EVENTUALLY TRUST YOU TO TAKE ON A BIGGER ROLE. IN ADDITION, FIND TIME OUTSIDE OF YOUR REQUIRED DUTIES TO DIVE INTO OTHER AREAS THAT WILL HELP YOU GROW AS A COACH, WHETHER THAT BE WATCHING MORE FILM, PARTICIPATING IN CLINICS OR DEVELOPING NEW CONTACTS THAT CAN HELP YOU IN RECRUITING.”
