  • It's Not ALL About Winning: a Modern Sporting Example to Achieve
    It’s not ALL about winning: A modern sporting example to achieve program outcomes Stephen O'Brien Performance coach course: Final Task It’s not ALL about winning: A modern sporting example to achieve program outcomes. PURPOSE: Every coach and player wants to win. This is the one common outcome that all programs have, whether playing at a community rugby level or at the elite performance level of the game. So the question must be asked, if everyone shares winning as a common goal, why is it always at the top of the priorities? Winning is the culmination of culture, core skill and execution. In my years in rugby development, most coaches have emphasised winning often neglecting the process it takes to become winners. In this paper, I will endeavour to use a current sporting example of where placing the emphasis on something other than winning is so much more beneficial - not only to the culture of the environment but also the long term success of the program. INTRODUCTION: Where do we start? The Chicken or Egg scenario… What comes first? Do you design and implement a program to your coaching strengths / strategy and then develop players accordingly OR do you develop your players to be able to adapt to any strategy or style of play required? If we look through a different lens we can potentially open up another world of opportunities for coaches and players. Referencing the Hawthorn Hawks and Alastair Clarkson example, I will demonstrate the possibilities of looking through a different lens in terms of HOW WE DRIVE OUR PROGRAM OUTCOMES.
