Tony Robichaux, Head Coach at Louisiana Lafayette Rajun' Cajuns

This man completely gets it when it comes to coaching. Of course, with this comes the questions for myself: Am I that coach, how will players look back at our time together: Transformational or Transactional, Did / Have I valued the result of competition over the process of building men?

Ugh. 

Well, here are my notes on the podcast 

Robichaux Podcast

Fear and Danger are different things

Fear in baseball shouldn't exist because what's the worst thing that can happen?

Fearful mind sets 

Danger is real
Fear is perception, imagined

Deal w fear bc it will consume you

Not afraid to crash and burn - can't die stealing a base

12' foot alligator sleeping vs awake- sleeping alligator is nothing but ppl imagining what could happen

Thinking/Seeing. What lens are we looking through? Chance to fail or chance to succeed?

Navy and armed forces standing at attention- look at US, not look at ME. 

Passion>Logic

Passion tells you when to get to work, when to leave. 

Turning boys to men-
Teach and Model character. Can't learn playing sports, it's caught; have model it. 

Feet attached to the heart and if you don't have passion, your feet will take you out of it. 

Trust, Committed, Concern

Become elite then attach yourself to organization- it doesn't work the other way, you don't join or attach self to something "elite". Association vs Ownership - not discounted or half off. 

Navy Seals is most often faked profession by frauds

Product is better if your people get better. Coach people not the product. Transformation vs Transaction. It isn't baseball, they've played a ton of games. It's not talent that does a player in, it's their character. 

Personal challenges. Spend more time making better athletes instead of who they're going to be for the next 60 years. 

How's the curve ball or slider helped your marriage? 

Flip a tire in 100 degree heat but shrink in morality. Athletic courage, Moral courage. 

Athlete glorified but character is deficient. 

You're the CEO of you. If I hire you, you're going to bring value OR devalue our program. 

Coaches evaluated on how well the men they coached are living life. Husbands, fathers, etc. 

Receive identity>achieve identity  Work to receive it, not to achieve it.
