Will definately find a way to put something similar into play for my guys this year - obviously can't use the "New Ulm" part :)! <br /><br /><br />John CarrierJohnCarrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312201540558437503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014840791501463918.post-55742597760828656472009-05-13T22:25:00.000-05:002009-05-13T22:25:00.000-05:00It was the following...

One is easy, and that is its only reward. (I used this to help get away from minor violations)<br /><br />New Ulm -You always represent yourself, our town, the school and everyone associated with the community.<br /> <br />Discipline- Little disciplines multiply to become great rewards. <br /><br />Sacrifice -There is a price to be paid to accomplish anything of significance. You must be willing to pay the price.<br /><br />Enthusiasm - A positive attitude is like a magnet for positive results. <br /><br />Team -It’s amazing how much can be accomplished when no one cares about who gets <br />the credit. <br /><br />I took over a team that had won 8 games in 2 years. I remember asking Monson how he got players to buy into the program after finishing last in the big ten and this it what he told me. He also mentioned that he never used the words last year with his players. If he did or anyone did, they owed 10 pushups. I did the same thing and it help keep me positive and thinking (as I told the team all the time) new year, new team, new mindset.jwellnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616202367070606057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014840791501463918.post-87192475608093057122009-05-13T17:55:00.000-05:002009-05-13T17:55:00.000-05:00Thanks Coach!!

I like those kinds of things as well for locker room signs. Don Meyer has one for ATTITUDE that is pretty good. So if you could figure it out I would be greatful.JohnCarrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312201540558437503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014840791501463918.post-70656680254182371212009-05-13T15:59:00.000-05:002009-05-13T15:59:00.000-05:00Congrats on the teaching job John!

When I was a head coach at New Ulm for a year, I used "MINDSET" something that I took from the Monson and the gophers the year they were successful. Each letter stood for a different concept. I also had the players wear the "livestrong" bracelets (instead with mindset) on them everyday and practice. Good Luck in Iowa and keep the posts coming!jwellnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616202367070606057noreply@blogger.com
