Maddon On Believing In The Process

Share This Resource

Joe Maddon (@MaddHalos) is the current manager of the Los Angeles Angels and former Manager of the Chicago Cubs. With the cubs, he led his team to the postseason in each of his first three seasons with the club, including 2 National League Division titles and the 2016 World Series. Maddon was named National League Manager of the Year in 2014 and has been working in pro baseball for 44 seasons. He's a three-time BBWAA Manager of the Year award winner, having earned the honor in 2008 and 2011 with Tampa Bay, and in 2015 with the Cubs. Maddon is one of only seven managers to win the award at least three times.

Joe Maddon suggests that coaches in sports shouldn’t become too win oriented. Coaches should be more invested in the process of their team. When coaches are invested in the process of their team, they aren’t worried about their team making mistakes or the outcome of the game. Instead they care about their players learning from each mistake and loss in order to improve the overall team over time.
