Consistency

    Only by watching [Dick Bennett] over time does one realize the consistency of his emphasis on specific details of his philosophy. During his 1995 coaches clinic he said, almost in passing, "Your players will do what you emphasize, not what you teach them." His comment, which ironically was stated rather quickly and without emphasis, was likely glossed over by many of those in attendance because of the simplicity of the idea. Nonetheless, that simple code is the primary driving force behind his personal coaching style for practices.

I have said for many years that people remember what you do much more than what you say.
