• It is all about the players• We don’t always know what we think we
know• It is ok to disagree and try something new• If you have a question – ask• It’s ok to be competitive but we shouldn’t
be competitive operationally
![Page 19: PRESIDENT’S UPDATE PHIL CONNOLLY. My Background College:West Point ‘82 Club:Monterey Sharks/Atlanta LC Coach: - Youth: Scorpions - High School: O’Neil](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e9d5503460f94b9e79b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• If you have a problem – get it out on the table
• Just because someone was a good player, doesn’t make he or she a good coach
• No good deed goes unpunished• Rinse and repeat (educate)
