You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end, with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality. - Admiral James Stockdale

Monday starts a series of posts on the book Good To Great.  I'm sure you have already read the book, I think I was the last person in the world to get a copy…  Even if you have read it, you might not have thought about how it applies to coaching — but that's why you have me.  So start thinking about your BHAG's and try to determine your Hedgehog Concept for your team.  You don't need to be a Level 5, but you must be willing to confront the brutal facts of your situation, even if it's just that the kids can't hit.

Brush up on the book and it's concepts at JimCollins.com.  There is more to the site than marketing for the book.  Twenty minutes spent exploring the site gives you a much deeper understanding of the ideas behind the book.  It's time worth spending.

You have your homework and I've given you a few extra days to get it done.  I don't want to hear any excuses on Monday if you aren't prepared…
