Stabilizing the Leader Before Stabilizing the Program

MODULE PURPOSE

Most new head coaches believe their first responsibility is to change players, staff, or culture.

Research, and experience, show the opposite.

Before you assess anyone else, the leader must stabilize themselves.

This module exists to prevent the most common early-career leadership mistakes that quietly undermine credibility, culture, and authority before the season ever begins.

These mistakes rarely look dramatic in the moment, but they compound quickly and are difficult to undo.
