What I observed in Jake years ago is that he understands how to motivate kids and he’s passionate about doing it. He makes sure that they take ownership and responsibility for their actions on and off the field; models respect; and keeps his eye on the prize. He’s a massive encourager, keeping players accountable, and empowers the kids to get more! He’s obviously learned more about the game and prepared himself further through study and the people he brings in around him, but he has to empower and inspire those people to be creative and imaginative and achieve more because they play the game better than he ever has. He wins more because he gets more out of his talent than the coaches with more talent. I’ll say it again. He wins more because he gets more out of his talent—his players—than the coaches with more talented players. IMG should technically have a team with more talented players, more resources, and more time to develop their athletes. Give Jake a competitive synchronized swimming or water polo team or ultimate Frisbee team, and I think he would create winners in those sports too because he builds the people within whatever the program is.
