COACH ABNEY’S COACH ABNEY’S
PHILOSOPHY OF COACHINGPHILOSOPHY OF COACHING
The relationship with the players is the most important thing. We want to teach our
student-athletes, through the game of basketball, how to live lives of great
character. We want our players to be taught how to live right and to be able to see
their coaches modeling that same behavior that is being taught. We will have high
expectations for our players and will set high goals for them that can only be
achieved through hard work and self-discipline. We want our players to have the
greatest experience of their lives playing for Pope. In the end, we want Pope
basketball players to say that: 1) they were pushed to work hard in achieving high
goals and expectations; 2) they learned a lot about life and the game of basketball;
and 3) they loved every single minute of it.
