Mike Carey, who has turned around women's college programs at Salem College and now West Virginia shares some ideas about his success in turning around losing programs: Mike Carey has turned program into winner. Some of his ideas are super lessons for all of us in coaching or business interested in creating a winning culture:
1. The players excepted the coach's personality - Coach Carey is intense and competitive and his player's took on that personality
2. He convinced his players that it was in their best interest to accept that he would never let up n them and push them constantly to get better - "He stays on us constantly," said sophomore center Asya Bussie. "On the court, he won't stop yelling, he'll never stop. He wants us to be perfect."
The lesson is clear. Coach to your personality. And get your players to buy in to that personality by explaining why and how it will help them improve as individuals and a team.
