I really appreciated being able to capture the coaches first responses to frustrating situations and then to see them regather themselves and pull their teams together. The passion, the intense focus on the moment, and then the ability to step back and see the big picture is a progression that some people move through more quickly than others. These coaches seemed exemplary.
One important lesson demonstrated by several coaches was "no excuses." Identify the behaviors that led to less then optimum performance and have real conversations about them that give students ownership and vision for improvement.

I thought it was particularly nice after the 254/973 quarterfinal when Travis from 254 first vented, Adam responded with an apology and then the 2 walked away with Travis's arm over Adam's shoulder. We all get frustrated, but we also need to act to ameliorate our relationships quickly. That was a great example. (And then 254 selected 973 at Chezy Champs to make it to an exciting finals, after a bit of ribbing of 973 during the qualifying.)
