Baltimore Ravens HC Jesse Minter - Empowering Assistant Coaches to Share Ideas "In my opinion it's the most important thing. NFL & College you might have 10/11 guys in a defensive room. We want to look at things in the same lens, have the same principles but I want everyone to also have their own ideas." "I think as a really good leader, one of the traits is to make everybody feel like they have the ability to share their ideas. I think you make everybody feel important that way, which raises the camaraderie & the morale of the room. And then when you take an idea, then you've got to be willing to give them credit for it and I think that's huge." "I think that's really important to really good culture. Making it about everybody, it's never about you, it's about the group. With group success comes individual success for everybody involved." "For young coaches it's understanding that those moments are great opportunities to learn. Don't be afraid to share an idea, don't be mad when your idea may or may not be taken. Eventually you will get to that point where you get a chance to make the decisions and looking at it like a long term process instead of a quick rise up."
