Reasons for Running the System

Here are just a few of my reasons for running the system:

1. Morale
2. Fan fare
3. More relaxed players and coaches
4. More players getting too play
5. Games and practices are fun again
6. Less stressful

Reasons for Running the System

There are many reasons a coach may want to pursue running the system, and there are many reasons why a coach may not want to run the system. I like to think that most of us fit into the first category even if we dont believe we can run it. Today I was thinking about the system and reasons why I have never used it before. Here are a few:

1. Fear of failure
2. Fear of losing
3. Communiy not backing the program
4. Second guessing myself
5. Players not buying in

I think all of us would say that these are logical reasons why we do not run the system. But then I started thinking of reasons to actually do it. More to come...
