Listen to most middle aged adults and you will hear them talking about their investment portfolios. How they invest now will determine the quality of life in their retirement. It really is no different in athletics. How you invest now will determine the quality of performance you have in the season.
What if someone told you a certain stock was guaranteed to give you a high return on your investment? You wouldn’t hesitate to invest, right? You would have confidence that the return would happen as promised. That promise is a reality when it comes to athletic skill investment. What you invest in now will provide a strong return later, guaranteed!
While skill development cannot guarantee a coach wins or championships, it certainly can guarantee better skills and performance of his players. What do better skills and performance improve? More chances of winning!
It simply is impossible to invest in skill development and not get a positive return if one gives effort and focus. Skills improve and performance increases. Every coach in America wants better players. But does every coach in America invest in skill development? Surprisingly, NO!
Too many coaches are either too lazy or too arrogant to get in the gym and invest hours with their players making them better. Why, I will never understand. X’s and O’s and strategies and systems are only as good as the players doing them. Better skills make better players. Better players make systems run better.
