295. Invest in Behavior | David Collins | Pearce HS

"Don't underestimate the time that needs to be spent on building behaviors that make people successful."

In this episode with David Collins, AC and Head Football Coach at Pearce HS, we explore how culture drives BEHAVIOR and how "well trained" goes far beyond simple X's and O's. Coach Collins casts his VISION to have every athlete fulfill their potential and become, in his words, ELITE. He then unpacks the system in place at Pearce to turn this vision into reality. This episode is challenging and filled to the BRIM with dirt-level actions to be taken to meet kids where they are and help them become their best.

Key Takeaways:

- Aligning vision from 7th to 12th grade.
- "Competence isn't what you know. It's what you can teach others."
- Accountability both up and down the chain of command.
- "We don't set goals for our kids, we teach skills."
