The NFL Draft And Your Staff

     Many of you are aware I love the NFL.  Over the past few days the NFL held the annual draft of the best college players in the nation for an opportunity to move to the next level and play in the big league.  What fascinates me every year is what teams like the Los Angeles Rams are willing to give up to get what they consider to be the best player in all the land to join their team, get paid millions of dollars up front and they do this in order for a chance to get developed by the teams making this investment.
       When the best player in all of college football (Almost universal agreement here by the way) Jared Goff has to be trained and developed what chance do the rest of us have to hire someone who is set and trained to hit the ground running?  Taking that a step further and adding the caveat of finding all this and then wanting to hire them for the lowest wage possible?  I guess this is why the NFL places so many incentives into the contracts of their players.  At the end of the day even the NFL knows that it’s not who you are they want to hire… It’s more a case of who you can become with training and effort.  This is the difference between minor league football and the NFL and the difference between a staff member and a leader.  Everyone wants a leader!
I frequently hear what sounds like the reasonable argument of what happens if I invest in my staff and then they quit?  The best reply I have is what happens if you don’t train them and they stay?  Which one is scarier and more expensive?
       My name is Steven Clauson and I coach people who want to come out of the stands and onto the field or are already on the field and demand to work to their potential.  Are you in the stands or on the field?  Winners are on the field playing full out and dominate.  For these people results matter.  Tired of results less than you know you can produce?  Call me at 916-230-0176 or visit www.stevenclauson.com
