Coach's Philosophy
As a program reinvents itself, as is the case here with Franklin HS Boys’ Basketball in 2015, the values that are shot into the basket stem from the prior experiences of the coach. The more experiences a coach has, my belief is, the more shot opportunities a coach will have to be successful. I have been fortunate enough to have been involved with quite a few big shooters as well as role players in both backyard moments as well as on a big stage. The multiple adventures I have had with regard to job experiences, coaching and player relationships, and community involvement domestically and internationally has allowed me to combine and generate the needed values to be installed in creating a successful program. These values are known as the 5 C’s: Continuity, Communication, Character, Consistency, Community.
CONTINUITY
From 4th grade to the Varsity program similar offensive and defensive systems will be executed. From each year to the next we will elevate the expectations of understanding and execution of the systems. Procedures and expectations of all those involved with the program will be uniform and modified accordingly each year. |
“The world wants to see a continuity of delivery of set standards...!” ― Sujit Lalwani, Life Simplified! |
COMMUNICATION
We will relay information in a productive and genuine manner from administrators and coaches to players, parents, community members, and media. It is our job to keep up to date on information pertaining to the team and activities as well as the parents, players, community members, and media to communicate productively with the coaching and administration staff. CHARACTER
You are a Saber! Be proud! You represent the school, the community, and the team. Demonstrate behavioral and academic expectations that will only attract positive attention and people. CONSISTENCY
A sign of a successful program is consistency. We will maintain a sense of stability after we implement our values and expectations. Parents and players will enjoy that in our program that we coaches and staff will be dependable, reliable, trustworthy, and resolute in creating a championship level program. COMMUNITY
We are a program that represents Franklin HS, the City of Franklin, and the state of Wisconsin. With this thought in mind, we want to create sound relationship through the coaches and players actions, behaviors, and work efforts in these communities. We are all in it together and will work together to establish a championship program here in Franklin! |
"To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.” ― Tony Robbins "A good name will shine forever.” ―Proverb “When a gifted team dedicates itself to unselfish trust and combines instinct with boldness and effort, it is ready to climb.” ―Pantajali |
Our program will be known as one that will provide opportunities through basketball. We will provide those opportunities to those who show us the dedication to live through the 5 C’s. We say in our program, “you work hard and dedicate yourself, we will find you an opportunity to play on someone’s college campus, if you want that!” We say in our program, “we will give you an opportunity to have great experiences.” We say in our program, “when you finish the program with us, you get the opportunity to be a Saber forever!” These opportunities are the driving force to establishing culture on and off the court. Culture drives the systems.
