"It's not that he knows more soccer than everyone else, although his soccer knowledge is vast. It's not just in his ability to manage and motivate people, although he's very good at that. He has a clear vision of what we're going after, and he gets everyone on the same page and he teaches them their role".Pretty clear that paramount to success (in any field i'd argue) is organization. Over what you'd otherwise think is important, in this example the coaching skills of knowledge or managing/motivation.
It goes on:
"For all the on-the-field success that he's enjoyed, however, Capener says he looks back on three primary things: No. 1, he's tried to instill a love of the game in his players because of how much he's loved the game. No. 2, he's tried to instill in his kids the idea that the sum is greater than its parts. No. 3, he's loved the associations he's had with his assistant coaches — Hercules, Tim Dolbin and Scott Stewart — and with his players and with his opponents.
"According to Capener, some of his proudest moments as a coach have come in years when his teams haven't won state titles. But when everything comes together, it's been especially sweet".If that isn't coaching 101, I don't know what is.
