Tufts Men's Lacrosse National Champion Documentary (2010)

Classmate Todd Keats '11 let us know about this documentary in the forum. The head coach, Mike Daley, does a great job as the chief motivator guiding his players. You'll see the effort, preparation, and dedication that is required in the off-season to achieve success in-season.

Most importantly, for our purpose, you'll also see the message he sends to his players about trusting one another (which derives from those off-season workouts) and also about focusing on one thing at a time - "take care of the ball, take care of each other, and YOU will be proud, YOU will be champions." We always talks about how effective leaders inspire a shared vision [scroll down to the Kouzes and Posner part towards the Obama video]. I love when he gives his team the article about how they will get blown out against Cortland - great go to motivational tactic.

Tufts is on another run this season after winning back to back NESCAC championships. They face Cortland St. for the second year in a row, except this time earlier in the quarterfinals. Even though I'm a Wesleyan U. Cardinal, I wish them the best of luck as they represent the 'CAC in the National Tournament.
