βœͺβœͺβœͺ I've just spent my Sunday morning checking everything is ready for the new season with my #Tringrugby U14s. I absolutely love coaching this team and can't wait for the new season to start.


πŸ› πŸ› πŸ›  Part of the process with any sport is "π‘·π’“π’†π’‘π’‚π’“π’Šπ’π’ˆ" for the next season ahead. Here's just a few things going through my head at the moment:


πŸŽ―πŸ’‘πŸŽ― Are all the players both rested and ready?

πŸŽ―πŸ’‘πŸŽ― What is the squad looking like?

πŸŽ―πŸ’‘πŸŽ― Is the coaching team ready?

πŸŽ―πŸ’‘πŸŽ― What does success look like for our team and players?

πŸŽ―πŸ’‘πŸŽ― What kit do we need to train at our best?

πŸŽ―πŸ’‘πŸŽ― What is our schedule of matches and training?

πŸŽ―πŸ’‘πŸŽ― What 'off-field' activity do we do?

πŸŽ―πŸ’‘πŸŽ― How do we communicate and manage expectations?

πŸŽ―πŸ’‘πŸŽ― How do we keep learning and growing as a team?

Think of all those annual kick-offs, new product launches, new marketing campaigns, new leadership teams, new strategies, new growth plans or new partnerships which companies create.


πŸ’―πŸ’―πŸ’―Now think of all the "π’‘π’“π’†π’‘π’‚π’“π’‚π’•π’Šπ’π’" required to maximise the impact of these activities and sustain ongoing high performance.
