My Coaching Philosophy
October 5th, 2009 by Michael HarmatysTheodore Roosevelt sums up the main goal of my philosophy well. He said:
“It’s not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or whether the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and often comes up short, again and again; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; and who, if at best, in the end knows the triumphs of high achievement and who, at worst, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his soul shall never be with those cold and timid ones who know neither victory or defeat.”
I desire to be a coach that will manage well, but most importantly lead my team fearlessly and courageously, and to be one that will help prepare my athletes for not only athletic “arenas” but for life’s “arenas” as well.
