Loyalty is my number one expectation as head coach of this program. As a vital part of this staff, you are expected to take pride in being a part of this community, this football program, and more importantly, take pride in the fact that you have the opportunity to be a positive influence on each of these young men's lives.
I know you will be prepared to coach these young men each day to the best of your ability. We must communicate with each other and have each othrs back at all times in order to successfully build a program where young men are encouraged to become great husbands, fathers, and employees. When in doubt in how to handle a situation with a player, parent, or fellow coach, follow the Golden Rule. Here are 10 basic rules of respect that we will implement on our staff. (Taken from John C. Maxwell's book Ethics 101.)
If you have a problem with me, come to me (privately).
If I have a problem with you, I will come to you (privately).
If someone has a problem with me and comes to you, send them to me. (I'll do the same for you)
If someone consistently will not come to me, say, "Let's go to Coach together. I am sure he will see us about this." (I will do the same for you.)
Be careful how you interpret me I'd rather do that. On matters that are unclear, do not feel pressured to interpret my feelings or thoughts. It is easy to misinterpret intentions.
I will be careful how I interpret you.
If it's confidential, don't tell. If you or anyone comes to me in confidence, I won't tell unless a) the person is going to harm himself/herself, b) the person is going to physically harm someone else, c) a child has been physically or sexually abused. I expect the same from you.
I do not read unsigned letters or notes.
I do not manipulate; I will not be manipulated; do not let others manipulate you. Do not let others manipulate me through you.
When in doubt, just say it. The only dumb questions are those that don't get asked.
Our relationships with one another, at the end of the day, are the most important things we have so if you have a concern, reflect upon it or pray about it, and then (if led) speak up. If I can answer it without misrepresenting something, someone, or breaking a confidence, I will.
