Coaches, and by proxy the athletes they coach, are naturally creatures of habit. Ask one why he or she does something in relation to guiding his or her team and you’re likely to get some variation of “that’s how we’ve always done it.”
That line of thinking, no matter how heavily it is supported by top-tier athletes and world-class gameplanning, eventually goes extinct. It might last for 10 years or 20 or maybe even longer. But eventually it fades.
The survivors, so to speak, are the ones unafraid to reinvent themselves and the way they guide their programs.
