Hockey season is just around the corner, so let’s talk football!
The Seattle Seahawks and Pete Carroll certainly caught my attention over the past few seasons for their play on the field, but recently I have also been impressed by their attention to detail off the field. Let’s go back a few seasons… to a 2013 ESPN article* in which head coach Pete Carroll ssaid,
“I wanted to find out if we went to the NFL and really took care of guys, really cared about each and every individual, what would happen?”
The article continued, “The big idea is that happy players make for better players. Everyone in the facility, from coaches and players to personal assistants and valets, is expected to follow Carroll’s mantras regarding positivity of thought, words and actions. ” ‘Do your job better than it has ever been done before,’ he tells them. Yelling and swearing are frowned upon, and every media interview with a player or coach ends with a thank-you to the reporter.â€
