About Bryant Beard

My coaching philosophy has always been to adapt my teaching to the unique needs of the individual – it is always learned focused. Through the use of our state-of-the-art PlaySight Smartcourt technology, I simplify high level instruction of tactic and technique with personalized data that empowers our athletes to play "smarter, then harder". Regardless of age or ability: my commitment is to support growth through high energy and passionate coaching with implementation of my four core values: Transparency, Trust, Mindfulness, Resilience TRANSPARENCY We are honest with where we are at, we focus on moving forward. Transparency is the framework for building trust, and leads to a sense of lightness through being open and honest. Allowing transparent communication from my students gives them the freedom to be themselves. TRUST We can learn to trust our coaches and our teammates, but it is "self-trust" that allows us to transcend. If transparency is the framework for trust, then trust is the framework for confidence. By learning to take risks and tests our limits, we create opportunities for self-trust and opportunities for increasing our limits. MINDFULNESS We learn to stay present in our moments. We do not dwell on past events, and are not focused on the future. Our goals are in front of us, but it is the process and present moment that receives our focus. When we are mindful, we give our attention intentionally, so that we always get more out of less. RESILIENCE We identify what is in our control, and what is our role in the bigger picture. We value problem solving and continue to become more detail oriented. We embrace our social connections with a team mentality and continue to grow "together". We seek to be a survivor and not a victim. We choose to see how situations work for us and not against us. We are open to asking for help. We do ask for help. We never give up.
