Communicating to Make a Difference – Dante Bartee, Analyst, University of Oregon

Today is our last clinic segment for this off-season. This one is from the 3rd Annual Lauren’s First and Goal Clinic. The link to the entire presentation which is available on CoachTube is in the description. 

In this segment, Dante Bartee, Defensive Analyst at the University of Oregon, shares what he learned from his first year as a college defensive coordinator at Ottowa University.

Dante's passion for football and innate ability to decipher and teach complex strategies has set him apart as a great young thinker on the game. Be sure to check the link in the description to his interview on our Accelerate Everything Series where he shares some strategic thoughts on the game especially as it applies to offense.

Today’s episode applies to all of us as we continue to grow as communicators and in developing our relationships with our players. We will share our winning edge takeaways following this clinic segment.

Show Notes:

• Start with personnel
• Use high school tape to understand the player and what he can grow into
• Build what the player need not what you want
• Being player-focused does not mean you are a players coach
• Talk to players one on one to get an understanding of where you are coming from
• Find methodologies to communicate
• Positive and negative confrontation
• Positive confrontation - evaluate and attack the problem
• Negative confrontation - attack the player
• Message and tone - equally important
• Winning Edge
