But, you have to use it correctly. That is the purpose of this article.<br><br>STEP #1: HOW TO DO IT<br><br>Step #1 seems so simple. So obvious. Yet, when I do clinics and ask the athletes, very few teams have done it. Here is the question:  Have your juniors-to-be and especially your seniors-to-be talked about what they want to do next year as a team? If you take in all the high school team sports among both boys and girls across the country, you would find that well over 90% have not done this. Wow! What an opportunity lost. Here they are working out and part of a team, and they don t even have a united purpose. Amazing! <br><br>The rule here for step #1 is clear: let the athletes decide their destiny or goal. If a coach says,  Our goal is to win the state championship. How many of you can back me up? This is not nearly as powerful as if it is the athlete s original decision. At clinics, I will have the athletes who are going to be juniors and seniors get together by themselves; without any adults. Their job is to decide on what they want to accomplish as a team.

This is fine but always give them a choice - the pros and cons. Then, let them decide. Always demand they look you in the eye. If they have not had a winning season in awhile and their goal is to win state, ask them,  Do you realize just how difficult that will be? Do you realize just how much work it is going to take? They will always nod  yes
