We can’t say that NFL rookie head coach Nick Sirianni will go down as one of the game’s greats. Heaven knows, football at the professional level is a unique challenge for coaches and players alike, and few survive the experience with accolades. But one thing we do know is that Sirianni never wings it when it comes to his pre-game team meetings. For five years prior to getting the break of his life as a new NFL coach, Sirianni practiced a very particular thing: his speeches to the team. He developed his thoughts and outlined what he would say to his players in any given situation. From home games to first games, as underdogs or favorites, in winning streaks or losing streaks, in hostile crowds or the home crowd, in the news and out of the news, he is ready for the moment because he has prepared for that moment for years.
