High Positive

Yesterday in church, I saw Coach Phil Morse who was the Defensive Coordinator at Centre College for Coach McDaniel back in the mid 80s. 30 years ago, I was in a Sunday School class with Phil, my dad, and Steele Harmon. I learned alot about Jesus and coaching football.

Coach Morse always said there were 4 types of coaches:

High (intensity) Positive

Low Positive

High Negative

Low Negative

He always said High Positive is best. Low negative is the worst. Of all the coaches I have been around, Chuck Smith(Boyle County) was the most intense & Dale Mueller (Highlands) was the most positive.

I don't know anyone that enjoys being around negative people. Kids, athletes, etc. are drawn to positive people. They want to be around them.  You can have high standards AND be positive!
