A Coach Cignetti jewel: “Good players want coached. Great players you can’t coach them enough, they want more, more, more. Inconsistent players want to be coached on their terms.” …(and always have a response or excuse)




Different players learn differently. Some need to READ it in the playbook. Some need to SEE it on film. Some need to HEAR it in meetings. Some need to WALK it on the field. Some need to REP it in drills. Some need to RUN it on game day. Teach accordingly.





📢Athletics are an investment that provides a huge return. 💥The same goes for music, band, arts, step, theater, chess club, and robotics. 🔑But the key is, coaches intentionally setting high standards and helping kids to achieve their hopes, goals, and dreams.





I used to over-coach everything. Too many drills. Too many words. Too many coaching points. Eventually I learned: Just be clear and consistent. Players learn better that way.
