The Art of War


In “The Art of War” Sun –tzu talks about the important traits of the leader of an army. I am convinced that they fit what traits a good coach should have as well. These are especially true for system coaches.

Wisdom

Knowledge

Credibility

Benevolence

Courage

Unconcern for fame

Places Army (Players) First

Tranquility

Obscurity

Upright

Self Discipline

Clever

Inventive

Sun-tzu said” In general, commanding a large number is like commanding a few. It is a question of dividing up the numbers. Fighting with a large number is like fighting with a few. It is a question of configuration and designation.” If that doesn’t sound system I do not know what is.
