No doubt about that. As with my previous comments, I relate everything back to coaching.<br /><br />I am reading a book written by Swen Nater (former UCLA, ABA, and NBA player) and Ronald Gallimore called You Haven't Taught Until They Have Learned. Basically they are taking Coach Wooden's on the court style and comparing it to the classroom. Why do I mention this?<br /><br />Because essentially what you are stating in this blog post is exactly what effective coaches do. They have a practice plan and stick to it. They schedule thier practices early and notify everyone involved early. They seek input from their assistant coaches. They allow their players to explore and discover.<br /><br />I know that academia types (and my mother is one of them) don't find much value in athletics, but this is a great example of how teachers, students, employers, employees, CEO's, etc. can use coaching strategies to build stronger programs, classrooms, and businesses.<br /><br />As always, thank you for your insights!Matt Grahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663358773923683802noreply@blogger.com
