How do you think the editing misrepresented the reality of what happens behind the glass? Was the portrayal too rosy, or too harsh?

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.
