While Cornell basketball is only one of the 36 varsity sports at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York it is the one sport that most Americans think of when their minds wander to Cornell athletics (which is not very often).

Cornell basketball made history during the 2009-2010 season by cracking into the top 25 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll for the first time in decades. In fact, the last time the Cornell Big Red hoops team was ranked in the top 25 Harry Truman was in office and the date was January 3, 1951. That date marks over 59 years between appearances in the top 25 polls.

Athlete Assessments recently had the great pleasure of being invited to the US Lacrosse Coaching Conference in Baltimore, MD. A significant highlight was hearing Lou Holtz’s keynote presentation about his philosophy on coaching and life.

For those who do not know Lou Holtz, he is a legend in US College football coaching and is the only coach in NCAA history to lead six different programs to bowl games. He is also a multiple winner of National Coach of the Year honors.

These are the key messages I took note of and trust you will also find inspiring and educational:

Note 1: Coaching is about influencing the lives of young people. It is a role of true significance and meaning, never should it be about money. It is fundamentally about building relationships with young people.

Note 2: A great quote about Leadership, “I can name you the coach, but I can not name you the leader. Leaders are named from below.”

Note 3: Coaching is a leadership role. As such, coaches are to have a vision and are accountable for the choices they make. Above all, coaching is about “Obligations and Responsibilities”. Never is coaching about “Rights and Privileges.”
