Meet Kate Paye, A Coaching & Leadership Journal Subscriber

Image
Kate Paye is the associate head coach for the Stanford women's basketball team. Last year, she helped guide Stanford to a 32-6 record and another final four appearance. Since Paye’s return to Stanford in 2007-08, the Cardinal has been one of the top teams in the nation, going 291-41 (.877), reaching two national title games, seven Final Fours and the Sweet Sixteen each year. Paye’s responsibilities with the program include working with the perimeter players, overseeing the defense, opponent scouting and recruiting. Paye, who earned the Cardinal’s “Best Defensive Player” award in 1994, has played a vital role in shaping a dominant and aggressive Stanford defense over the past nine seasons. Stanford has held its opponents to its six lowest-scoring seasons over the last nine years and its five lowest shooting percentages, highlighted by all-time lows of 51.9 points per game and a 31.6 field-goal percentage in 2012-13. We are proud and honored to have Coach Paye and Stanford W

Conrad Hilton's Success Formula

When I owned a small hotel early in my career and failed, I decided I had been thinking in too limited a sphere. I decided it was just as easy for me to think in terms of big things as to think of only accomplishing small things. I began to visualize a big chain of hotels and found it was as easy to think of a big chain  as to think of only one. I began to think in terms of big money and decided it takes no more energy to think of one million dollars than to think of one dollar. A million is only one with six zeros attached. Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they never leave the game. When you start planting acorns, the full-fledged oak may take years. And I had to learn what all gardeners must know--patience.    Be My Guest

Some Thoughts To Help You Keep Moving Toward Your Dream

Don't you find it odd that when you're a kid, everyone, all the world, encourages you to follow your dreams. But when you're older, somehow they act offended if you even try. --Ethan Hawke People who lack the clarity, courage, or determination to follow their own dreams will often find ways to discourage yours. Live your truth and don't ever stop! --Steve Maraboli You can get what you want or you can just get old. --Billy Joel You break the legs of your leadership chair when you chase after other people’s assignments instead of pursing yours. --Israelmore Ayivor Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. --Mark Twain Coach Yourself: A Motivational Guide For Coaches And Leaders About This Book Coach Yourself is a unique book, compiled exclusively for coaches to provide you with physical, mental and spiritual motivation throu
