Daniel Farke Quotes

If you've got to second-guess talking to a teammate, what you have will never work.

So if the players trust the coach, it's not a problem. If the players don't trust the coach, it is a problem, and vice versa.

If the players don't trust the coach, it is a problem, and vice versa.

The way you build trust with your team is around super-clear communication in that instant when they say, 'I will be sad if you don't do X.' You have to say, 'We're not going to do X, and here's why, and believe me, you'll be much sadder later if I let you go do it and you spend a bunch of time on it and nothing ever happens.'

As you develop relationships in your team you have to learn how your teammates react to being yelled at or how to put your arm around them and show them how to do things.

No matter how much success you're having, you can't continue working together if you can't communicate.

If you're a coach, and you don't have trust with players, you've got no chance, and your credibility is zero. And that's why it's so important to tell them the truth. If you have something that you're upset about, tell them the truth. If they're doing something wrong, tell them the truth.

To be successful in coaching you have to treat your team like a family. The leader needs backing from everyone.

And I think if you look at any relationship, for the relationship to be productive and to move forward and to grow, sometimes things have to be said that one person or the other person is not going to like to hear.

I think sometimes when it comes to sports, and especially relationships between players and coaches, that people lose track, lose a sense of reality.

I always talk to all the crew. I always make it pleasant. I always nurture a relationship that makes people feel like they're important, like they're a part of the collaboration.
