Selflessness - Playing for the Team

[Originally written on 09-Feb-2009]

Coach Dan Herr and '08 Truckee JV Boys Basketball

Don’t think about winning, don’t think about the score…play for the moment…play in the now…the rest will follow

Every member of a team has a job, a role…you may not always like your role, but you have to play it. If you are in the game, you have a role, if you are the 6^th man, you have a role, if you are riding the bench you have a role (cheer the team on…help the coaches out). If you play your role, giving up the selfish ego, we will win as a team…and everyone likes winning

Its not about winning…its about being

Keep on Coachin...

You may or may not have heard that I did not get the Varsity Coaching Position for Truckee High School, nor have I been contacted about being the JV coach again... but on the otherhand I am still coaching a few of the kids from Truckee that I have been coaching in the past few years through a program called Jam On It and am coaching them for the Holiday Tournament this weekend (http://www.jamonit.org/Tournaments2009/memorialday2009reno.htm) Game Record to far:
