The Winners Manual


Here are some notes on Jim Tressel's "The Winners Manual"

Part I: The Game Plan

*Everyone in the program receives a winner's manual each year. He is always changing and adding things.

*Took his definition of success from John Wooden

*Two major goal areas: 1.) Purpose 2.) Goals

*Purposes include: personal/family, spiritual/moral, caring/giving

*Too many people define themselves by what they do and not who they are.

*The task for all coaches is to see the sport in the context of their entire lives. Develop purpose.

*There is a huge difference between inspiration and motivation.

*It is hard to get motivated if you don't have a purpose.

*Before you can become champions, you must master the things champions embody.
