They should be holding each other accountable. If a coach can’t be there how can he hold him accountable?

Coaches can set up mechanisms in place that help for players to be accountable, how do we know they’re not doing that? Again I’m not letting these coaches off the hook as far as their coaching. But all this nonsense about how they’re not doing XY and Z on their own, that’s got to be on them.

Here’s the problem: it’s in recruiting.

Yes we’ve hired some crap coaches, but we’re also recruiting some crap players. Not all of them, but enough to make a difference.

Let me let you in on a little secret I’ve learned in hiring people, you can’t motivate someone to be motivated. People think you can, but you actually can’t. They either have it inside of them or they don’t.

Magicians do not exist that can magically turn somebody into a motivated self-starter. Do you think JT4 is a motivated self starter? He can’t even motivate himself to train properly when it could be worth millions of dollars to him.

What you can do is help to mold people that want to succeed.

Now look at the other wide receiver KJO. Decided to play an extra year to increase his profile for the NFL. Works hard in practice, works hard to prepare for the combine. Does he have as much natural talent as JT4? No. But he’s a whole lot more motivated than he is.

What’s the number one thing smart employersI look for? Attitude. You’re either full of **** and vinegar, you’re either competitive and want to beat out everybody, or you’re just a slug. When you have the right attitude, all the other good things come after that. motivation, being a self-starter, being a hard worker. People with negative attitudes don’t get very far in life.

Let me let u in on a little secret; managers & coaches get fired all the time if they fail at their job. U know why? Normally it’s due to being poor communicators, and a lack of coaching and development.

Since I’ve seen many colleagues get fired, despite their pedigree, financial back ground, managerial experience, I can unequivocally tell you that even if you get an outstanding employee, and fail to give them the necessary tools to be successful, that employee will fail at their job, b/c they have no direction. My company have had offices close down b/c the production wasn’t there despite the employees best efforts. Why? B/c they didn’t know wtf they were doing as their managers were collecting a fat check, relying upon past accomplishments to skate by w/o setting goals, training, following up, & coaching.

I suggest you research the 70/30 rule regarding player development. I didn’t just mockingly come up w that.

To be clear, I already said I agreed that it’s on the players to put in the work; my whole point was development by coaching & staff is a nice sized portion of it as well. That comes from knowing your team, their skill sets, and best maximizing said skill sets while minimizing or masking flaws.

I am wondering how this works with costs - private training is not cheap and I don't think most of these kids are rolling in dough. I wonder if these guys provide cheaper rates to college kids hoping that if they make it to the NFL and come back and bring friends since so many people like to live and train in Miami during the off season.

Football players are given a cost of living stipend as part of their scholarships which can be several thousand dollars depending on various factors. So the kids have money. The trainers can't offer them discount rated as individuals otherwise it would be considered an impermissible benefit by the NCAA. Now the trainers can offer deeply discounted rates for all college students in general, which the UM players can take advantage of. The Trainers also have final say on whom they accept as clients as well.

Sure there are failures as coaches and managers. In fact very many managers and coaches are failures. But a lot of their people succeed in spite of them.

There are people that take responsibility for their own success and those that blame everyone else and everything around them.

Usually they whine about not being given the right tools or direction.

If you’re in a bad situation where you honestly feel success is unattainable, you leave. If you’re talented, hard working and have the right attitude you’ll find success elsewhere.

It’s not that complicated.

Any prospective employee that tells me he didn’t succeed because he wasn’t given the right tools, coaching, direction, etc. is being shown the door.
