Purpose Statement

The following purpose statement emanated from a Joe Ehrmann talk and workshop. He is the author of a book entitled InSideOut Coaching and has been called, "The Most Important Coach America." Purpose statements based on Ehrmann's model start by focusing on three main words, and then the statement is built around them. In the last few years the state high school league has incorporated the message of Ehrmann's book into their coaching education program, and coaches are now required to include their purpose statements in the team information.

"I want to exhibit and encourage a sense of knowledge, service, and happiness in working with athletes to provide them with the same wonderful opportunities and building blocks that I was able to encounter through athletics." - Coach Reisetter
