This is why the GET MOR3EE formula is such a good resource for coaches. It helps us to manage our own tendencies to rate players on past performances and to continue to build and invest into all the players under our charge regardless of how we perceive their physical performances. We have the challenge of managing the short-term results of our teams with the long-term development of the individuals. The GET MOR3EE formula is our guide for accomplishing both challenges as coaches. It’s the formula for empowering our players and maximizing their potential.

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” (Attributed to Henry S. Haskins)

WHAT IS POTENTIAL?

How can we know if a person or team has maximized their potential? I think it’s important to put a timeframe on that question. “Potential” by definition is an ability or capacity to be or develop into something in the future. Our potential abilities in a year are different than what they may be in five years. With sports, I think it’s simple. How do we know if we’ve maximized our potential as individual athletes and as a team by the end of a season? I think there are two parts to the answer. One: when players can unabashedly tell me they’ve given every last drop of commitment, effort, and focus to fulfill their potential in this area and put their potential into action. And two: when I as their coach confirm that to be true. Then I can say that a player has maximized his or her potential in that moment.
