“Tell them the truth and be upfront, on good and bad things. Sometimes the truth hurts, and it’s tough to hear. But it allows them to understand and grow as a person.” Brown says.
Instead of allowing his players to accept failure whenever they lose a game, he encourages them to learn from their mistakes and show positivity to the opposite team.
“If you lose, you know exactly what you have to do to improve to make sure it doesn’t happen again, so by telling the opponent a good game or job is showing a sign of respect that allows us to see what we need to improve on.” Brown says.
Coach Brown allows no negativity during games or outside. Respect goes both ways. Because Coach Brown teaches the football players not to be rude or disrespectful people. He wants them to be mature adults in the future and a good person no matter how hard or irritating things are.
