April 29, 2010Post about owning problems tells Jets coach how to manage player via twitter
David Schlossberg suggested an interesting response to a twitter post from a player who complained about not getting to play enough. The post is titled Owning your problems.
“One last example. A Jets player twittered about his lack of play time. The coach responded by benching the player for a week. Problem solved.
If I was the coach, how would I own this problem? I would have twittered back:
@davidclowney work harder and you’ll get more play time. Now put your phone down and get back to practice.
That’s owning your problem, and with 34 characters to spare.”
I confess – I rather like it.

Quite comical! Soon we will all be communicating our problems through the internet though instead of face to face. Perhaps the coach should have said:
@davidclowney please report to the coach’s office immediately!

Oh, great suggestion, Ash! That would be hilarious! Or tragic…
By the way, will you call me later today? (Kidding.)
