I’ve spent years watching talented coaches struggle—not because they aren’t great at coaching, but because they have no idea how to get clients. And what fascinates me is this: some of the biggest names in our profession don’t believe in marketing. They actively discourage coaches from learning how to market and sell, as if those skills somehow taint the purity of coaching. That advice is wrecking coaching businesses. You were probably told that great coaching sells itself. That if you just do good work, clients will come.

When Kyle Shanahan became the NFL's youngest offensive coordinator in 2008, he had one prevailing rule: Tell me the why.

Shanahan and the members of his coaching tree—including Sean McVay, Mike McDaniel, Raheem Morris, and Matt LaFleur—came up in a sport where innovation was the exception, not the rule. There had been brilliant football minds before, from Paul Brown to Bill Walsh to Bill Belichick.
