Bo's 11 keys to success

[dergibog]

I went to a coaching clinic a few years ago and heard Bo speak about his "Eleven Keys to Success"

How many of these eleven keys were missing in the last month of games, or even in the past 7 years?

 

1. Effort – Clearly defined expectation with beginning and end

2. Accountability – personally accountable to team to correct mental errors, minimize mistakes on the field and beyond ---- in school, at home, in community

3. Attitude - Hold each other responsible for a positive attitude

4. Work Ethic – Be who you are all the time

5. Fundamentals – hands, feet, eyes

6. Knowledge – know the what, how and why to apply to a new situation

7. Consistency – use mistake to teach but expect perfection

8. Teach – Players build pictures of concepts

9. Fix You – Look to correct what you can control

10. Create a Mindset – of effort, striving for excellence

11. Pride – take it personally when someone beats you, but offer no excuses

I can think of only 1 way Bo could be successful. Coach somewhere other than the university of Nebraska. Just sayin.

Wait....what..????? And your logic is more confusing. He won't have any success here.

1-11.

11 keys to success?

 

 

 

Shouldnt it be #9 keys to success?

[Count 'Bility]

And on a serious note, I would say work ethic and consistency are the only two that HAVE been here. We are who we are all the time, and we're consistently inconsistent.

mmmmh.... fried chicken.

 

wait, keys to success? i was hoping herbs and spices.

10. Create a Mindset – of effort, striving for excellence

When the season began the team seemed to be sick of 9 wins and determined to take the next step.

 

Now senior leaders on the team such as Kenny Bell are sending the opposite message. :/

[Blackshirt39]

We need to simplify this.

 

[CPT Blackshirt]

On average we LOSE sight of 4 of those.

[BigRedBuster]

Honestly, I don't think we will find a coach that does most of those such as work ethic, effort, teach, pride...etc. more than Bo.

 

Problem is, there is a problem with one area you mentioned....mindset. Something is wrong here where the team melts down a few times a year. This starts at the top with the head coach which means #9 and #10 are the biggest issues on the team. Fix those, and this entire program is totally different.

Agreed. And it's unfortunate because I believe Bo has the work ethic and smarts to be an incredible coach. I've just lost confidence in his ability to fix the mental aspect of himself and his teams. I really believe Bo just needs a change of scenery to start fresh.

[JJ Husker]

Of the eleven, I have only witnessed 2 of them; #4 Work Ethic & #7 Consistency, which as Count said has been consistently inconsistent. If this is what he was preaching at a clinic, he could sure take some of his own advice. Some of these are so far off the mark it's laughable.
