The 90-Day Gameplan is a straightforward Productivity Planner for Leaders & Coaches.
We overestimate what we can get done in a day, but we underestimate what we can get done in year.
In the past 10 years of coaching athletes and leading teams, I’ve found the most powerful accelerator of my productivity is to attack my goals with a 90-Day Gameplan. In 90 Days of focused effort you can establish habits that will lead to long-term Personal and Team Success.
9 Minutes a Day for 90 Days
Here’s practical advice that I have found helpful the last couple years.
Michael Lombardi has written extensively on Bill Belichick’s game management. Belichick stresses the importance of winning the “Middle 8” - the last 4 minutes of the first half and the first 4 minutes of the second half.
As a coach, it is important to be sharp in the Middle 8.
My advice is:
“Don’t wait for halftime!”
Spend the first quarter deciding if you need to make adjustments. Spend the second quarter identifying & implementing 3 specific adjustments. Use halftime to solidify those 3 adjustments for the second half.
There is nothing worse than a coaches meeting at halftime asking, “What adjustments should we make?” Don’t waste too much time discussing. If you wait for halftime, you’re too late!
The goal is to go into halftime having already identified any changes that need to be made and be on your way to implementing those adjustments.
Don’t overdo it - maximum 3 adjustments.
