COACHING LIFE: Why should I have a mentor?

Posted: June 27, 2012 at 3:15 pm


without comments

Having a mentor is like watching a good trailer to the upcoming movie of your life and could increase the probability of its becoming a blockbuster. Nyahra.

In addition to having coaches all of my coaching life, I have always found it useful to have a mentor and to pay it forward by mentoring younger people.

Unlike coaches, mentors have free reign to give you advice, to literally tell you what to do, and since you dont pay them you are getting a gold mine of wisdom for free. The mentor/mentee relationship can sometimes mimic a paternal or maternal relationship and so some scolding may also be involved when mentees go off on a frolic of their own.

That being said, it is all done in the spirit of tough love.

Finding a mentor

I recommend that every young professional or career rookie seek a mentor. The operative word is seek. Your job is to examine your strengths and limitations, career vision, goals and values and try to find a mentor who is willing to help you along your career path. You should select someone whose character you emulate.

It is advantageous to find a mentor within your own career but someone within the industry or in a related field will be just a beneficial. In addition,

I like to recommend that young professionals seek out mentors who have also had several careers and business experiences, with varied interests and having travelled.

This is important since one of the enduring and critical attributes for success is being able to step outside your comfort zone and engage several types of people while coping with unfamiliar environments and circumstances.

Your next task is to get the mentor to say yes to you. There are three popular ways to achieve this.

Women Coaching Men Remains A Long Way Away

Posted: June 26, 2012 at 11:15 am


without comments

One morning, while working as an assistant on Andy Landers' women's basketball staff at the University of Georgia, Bernadette Mattox picked up a newspaper and read something that ultimately would impact her life. Rick Pitino wanted to hire a woman as one of his assistants at Kentucky. Interesting, she thought. Little did she know then that she would become the first female assistant coach in Division I men's basketball history.

That was nearly 20 years ago. There have only been two others who have done what Mattox had done, and no woman has been named head coach of a Division I men's team. Many agree that one person who could have broken that barrier was Pat Summitt.

"I think Pat would have been accepted, once the players were around her somewhat and saw her as a coach that could greatly impact the team," said Dan Hughes, coach and general manager of the WNBA's San Antonio Silver Stars.

Of course, this issue is far deeper than just the college or pro level.

"It is frustrating to me that more women are not coaching youth sports," said state Sen. Beth Bye, D-West Hartford. "I think we want young girls to see women as leaders, and there are far too few. Go to any softball field, Little League field, soccer field even when girls are playing. I love that fathers are involved, but we need both mothers and fathers and men and women coaches."

Mattox, now an assisant coach for the WNBA's Connecticut Sun, recalled how her piece of history came to be.

"[The story] was about how Ralph Willard left Coach Pitino's staff at Kentucky to go to Western Kentucky," said Mattox. "The article said Rick was going to think about replacing [Willard] with a female; I'm thinking to myself, 'Great, Coach Pitino is innovative, good for him,' and I left it at that.

"Then I got the call."

It was from Tubby Smith, then one of Pitino's assistants. He told Mattox that Pitino wanted to speak to her.

"One thing led to another. I went on the visit, and the staff was super to me," Mattox said. "Everyone gave me such a great feeling about the place. That set the tone. I did not know Tubby Smith, and you know what, I never asked any of them how they got my name. I simply have no idea."

New lease on coaching life for former UT coach Greg Davis

Posted: at 5:12 am


without comments

He's starting over. At age 61.

But Greg Davis' motor is running as fast as it did when he first took an assistant coaching job at Barbe High School in Louisiana in 1973. He's still among the first to arrive at the office every morning after a quick, 14-mile drive from his new home. His voice rises when he discusses the potential of his fifth-year senior at quarterback, whom he regards as a "bigger Major Applewhite."

Actually he's starting up where he abruptly left off a year and a half ago, after 38 seasons of coaching.

Davis who was a polarizing figure as Mack Brown's offensive coordinator for 13 years, through the 2010 season has returned to college football, where he belongs, even though he has changed jobs, donated many of his burnt orange clothes to neighbors and moved to a place so cold that his school played its spring game a year ago on a field covered by snow.

Texas fans no longer have Greg Davis to kick around. The Iowa Hawkeyes can do that if they like when he starts calling plays in the Big Ten and lining up what has been perceived as a stodgy Iowa offense in an empty backfield and working his no-huddle magic.

Davis is back home in a football environment even though he's a thousand-plus miles from Austin. But he's content with his station in life, an invigorated, transplanted Texan who quickly shook off the disappointment of his firing after a highly successful run with the Longhorns punctuated by one really horrific season at the end.

For a year, he considered other offers, taught clinics for Auburn's Gene Chizik and Florida's Will Muschamp and talked with the Houston Texans' Gary Kubiak about a position but decided to spend most of his time with his wife, Patsy, and their three grandchildren in the Dallas area.

Finally, in February, he accepted a new job for the first time since he arrived in Austin with Brown from North Carolina in 1998. Iowa's Kirk Ferentz had listened to sales pitches on Davis' behalf from Ferentz's previous offensive coordinator, Ken O'Keefe, and the Miami Dolphins' new head coach, Joe Philbin, who was a graduate assistant under Davis at Tulane. Philbin also discussed hiring Davis before adding Mike Sherman and O'Keefe to his Dolphins staff.

But Davis is happy where he is. Life goes on.

Surely he was angry and bitter when he was forced out at Texas?

On-ice star, coaching legend, off-ice 'gentleman'

Posted: at 12:17 pm


without comments

Friends, fellow coaches and former players yesterday remembered Hockey Hall of Fame defenseman Fernie Flaman as epitomizing the term gentleman. A former Bruins [team stats] captain who won a Stanley Cup with Toronto in 1951, Flaman was a longtime coach at Northeastern University, where he spent 19 seasons. He died Friday night at 85.

A native of Dysart, Saskatchewan, Flaman guided Northeastern to all four of its Beanpot title wins (1980, 84, 85 and 88).

Retired Northeastern sports information director Jack Grinold, who attended and chronicled virtually every sporting event for the college for more than 50 years, knew Flaman as well as anyone in the Northeastern community.

As we are all aware, he was one of the toughest defensemen ever to play hockey, Grinold said. But, as a man of winter, he always had summer in his heart. He was one of the warmest, kindest guys you could ever run into.

Boston University coach Jack Parker and his teams crossed sticks with Flaman and Northeastern for 19 straight years at a time when the four Beanpot coaches (Parker, Flaman, Len Ceglarski of Boston College and Billy Cleary of Harvard) were a constant. He recalled his friendly rival warmly.

Ill never forget when I first got to know him when I was an assistant at BU, I was amazed that this is Fernie Flaman the cop of the Bruins, the tough guy defenseman because it couldnt match what a quiet guy, an unassuming guy, he was, Parker said. His pro demeanor on the ice belied his off-the-ice persona. He was an absolutely fabulous guy. The best way to describe Fernie was that he had a heart of gold. I had many, many meetings with Fernie and been to many social gatherings with him and he was just a classy, classy guy.

Current Northeastern coach Jim Madigan had the privilege of both playing for and later serving as an assistant to Flaman.

As a player, he always treated you as a gentleman, Madigan said. Coming from the pros, he treated us like men. He gave us some leeway and latitude, but there was mutual respect there so you knew not to push the envelope or youd be punished. He really created a family environment within the program. He and Don (McKenney, his assistant) were certainly interchangeable. They taught us to become good players as well as be good men, good husbands and good fathers. He wanted us to graduate and be good ambassadors for the university.

Hockey East commissioner Joe Bertagna, whose playing career at Harvard University overlapped Fermans coaching days at Northeastern, got to know Flaman when Bertagna was a youngster.

My father was in the construction business and was asked to do some work on a 60-lane bowling alley in Beverly called Go Go Bowling. The owners were Fernie Flaman and Pete Daley, a former Red Sox [team stats] catcher, Bertagna said. I was really young, but I remember the paintings in the lobby of Fernie in his Bruins uniform.

Albemarle Neighbor: Baseball or life, coaching brings out best in Currituck native

Posted: at 2:15 am


without comments

Whether it is a crack of the bat, the swish of the net or a spiraling football caught in a players grip, Bill Brumsey is on the sidelines helping Currituck youth gain and maintain an appreciation for sports.

For the past four years Brumsey has served as a Currituck County Parks and Recreation coach and team sponsor.

The Parks and Recreation is very important to the county, said Brumsey, who is currently coaching a T-ball team. The number of sports that are offered has greatly expanded.

As the seasons change, Brumsey is also a dedicated football and basketball coach. He began coaching when his children, who are 9, 7 and 6 years old, became involved in sports.

The Currituck native said he grew up participating in sports sponsored by the Currituck Athletic Association, and he also played sports in junior and high school. Sports help promote sportsmanship and teamwork, according to Brumsey.

Brumsey said all of his coaches including his father set standards that he continues to follow as a coach today.

You will have fun, said Brumsey, if you play hard and listen to what your coaches are telling you.

We are going to give 100 percent, Brumsey tells his players.

Brumsey keeps his players involved and engaged on the T-ball field by giving them an opportunity to play all the positions. Observing the growth of skill level by the end of the season is one of the best aspects of being a coach, said Brumsey.

Try and do your very best, the coach emphasizes to his players.

Family of Nicole Ayres working to get life sentence for killer

Posted: June 23, 2012 at 1:13 pm


without comments

Stephen Headley pleaded guilty June 5 to the murder of 22-year-old Nicole Ayres. But even though prosecutors plan to ask for life imprisonment at his sentencing Aug. 3, Headley could be sentenced to 30 years in prison.

This, says Ayres cousin Kellie Lando, is not enough.

Not at all, she said.

Now, Lando and her family are petitioning the state government to sentence Headley to life in prison.

Headley was finishing five years of probation for endangering the welfare of a child when he stabbed Ayres to death in September 2010 after an argument in her car at a municipal soccer field in Southampton Township.

Ayres had been a high school softball star in her hometown of Deptford, and had continued her athletic career at Fordham University before transferring to Rugters-Camden. She also traveled the country playing for nationally-ranked softball teams in addition to coaching softball in Medford. Her father, Richard Ayres, was straightforward in his appraisal of her abilities.

She dominated, he said simply.

He felt the community had been robbed by his daughters death, and felt cheated by the possibility of such a lenient sentence, which his family considers a failure of the criminal justice system.

Its unbelievable. Its basically saying my daughters life is worth only 30 years, he said.

The family hopes that the petition, which has collected more than 3,000 signatures so far, will send a message advocating for tougher sentencing policies, even if it will not help Ayres.
