o 10 Step Coaching Process (JH)– The 10 Steps of Coaching were
developed by Coach Hughes. He has dedicated almost 40 years of
experience researching and developing these practices. Many people can
do something or know something well, but that doesn’t mean they can
coach. Coaching is an art and is so much more than a title.
o Learning Styles- Understanding different learning styles helps you better
coach, teach, and lead. We tend to teach the way we learn. However, our
team members don’t necessarily learn the way we do. During this session,
you will discover your learning style. Then, we will give you the tools with
recommended strategies to understand your teams’ learning styles.
Ultimately, our goal is to help develop you into a conscientious leader so
the time you spend coaching and training is effective and rewarding.

coach should learn and incorporate into their team model. Coach Hertling
and Hughes will lead the discussion.

continue to employ them today. Today, we use these principles to
evaluate every Jersey Mike’s.
o Game Film- Operational Excellence & Experience (JH, CS)– We will teach
you how to evaluate a piece of Game Film taken at the Training Center
