The Atlanta Falcons have found a coach who drives the team to succeed. Coach Mike Smith certainly have made his mark in directing his team to put in the much needed effort into playing a good game every time. With just 4 wins in 2007, the Falcons really need the push for determination and love for the game and Smith does exactly this.
He won't change his training routine a single bit and emphasizes that a lot of practice makes a big difference in how the team performs in the field. Even if they won a game the previous day, he still encourages his team to get out and practice the next day. He emphasizes the need for passion and accountability within the team. Smith also did an optional film study and weight training of his players so that they can recognize each other's weaknesses and magnify their strengths.
Being an NFL coach isn't easy but Smith goes beyond the usual thing a coach does. He is known to personally check every injured player of his team and truly cares about each one. Team members agree on one thing - that their coach is very likable and is very easy to communicate with. These traits are what make Smith garner the respect of each and every one of his team.
Yet despite these lovable traits, Smith can turn the iron hand to a player who makes repeated mistakes during practice.
He is also known to take risks to vary the play. And because of this, the Atlanta Falcons has grown to admire him week after week.
Coach Mike Smith was never without a plan and this is based on his beliefs to succeed. This personal statement is being brought every time he goes out to make his team deliver. He strongly believes in passion because of a personal experience which made him unable to play the game at his best. In his senior season at Father Lopez High School as a linebacker, Smith broke his right arm but this did not stop him from pursuing the game. At 18, Smith became a coach.
And 30 years later, he became the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Lessons of hard work and responsibility are evident in the way Smith handles the team. He strongly believes that working tirelessly is the only way to get the work done. Smith is known to have a great mind for football. As a coach, he is considered to be the coach of a football coach.
It is true that he will demand a lot from his player but he will also give his best as a coach. Smith is a very thorough and organized person with an unbelievable work ethic. He is also one of the best communicator around in the NFL today. In fact, he values communication so much that his players can often give suggestions on how to improve their game, resulting to a closer bond and an even better team playing.
