Coaching And Development: The Overlooked Key To The Cowboys’ Success

[waving monkey]

People who cover the NFL as media or just follow it as fans love stats and measurables. They are superficially easy to understand and can be compared in the time honored “mine’s bigger” sense. What is less liked and much harder to grasp is the whole area of a player’s makeup known as “intangibles”. That usually refers to things like leadership ability and character, but it also includes the idea of knowledge, skills, and how much the player has learned about the game and himself since joining the league. With billions of dollars at stake, you would think that teams would focus heavily on doing everything they can to maximize the abilities of their players. One of the greatest success stories of recent years is that of Dak Prescott with the Dallas Cowboys. Here at BTB, of course, we are all very familiar with his incredible rookie season. And he is not the only example of this on the team, just the most obvious. But if you look around the league, something begins to dawn on you. Not all teams are very good at “coaching up” players. As a matter of fact, some seem to do the exact opposite, wantonly squandering talent.
