They go over what happened last game, what they could do better. What the plan is to win the game that night. Everyone in the room has a voice whether you have 16 years of experience or 6 days, everyone's input is appreciated. Mostly players talk but the coaches kind of lead the conversation so the daily meetings don't become a drag or a chore. They keep them fun.
Carp says its the #1 reason the season and team was turned around. Everyone feels their voice is heard and valued. That everyone has bought into what Schildt is selling.
Sounds like we have our new manager in place.

Yes, Schildt definitely walked into a good situation and by that I mean who he followed. By just doing what any successful leader in any profession does he probably looks like a guru to the team. For all Mo’s faults he cleared out some room while getting lucky with some injuries which helped simplify the decisions without creating any tension.
