Colts’ Frank Reich Stresses Trust, Teamwork, Toughness

In Frank Reich’s first address to his new team, he stressed three very important themes; trust, teamwork, and toughness.

Frank Reich has his work cut out for him in his first year as the coach of the Colts. He doesn’t see it that way though. He has said that he expects to compete immediately with this team. And in his first time addressing the entire team, he outlined how he expects to do just that.

Trust is an important element of any team at any level. You have to trust your teammates to do their job. Reich stressed that exact thing to the team, telling them that trust needs to be given and earned at the same time. They have to be willing to give their trust to teammates in order to be successful.

Teamwork goes hand in hand with trust. Reich explains that football is the ultimate team sport and one player cannot do it alone. He tells the team that in order for the Colts to achieve their goals, they have to have great teamwork.

Toughness is the last thing that he stresses. He wants the Colts to be the toughest team in the league, and not just physically. He talks about how the team needs to be mentally tough to survive the grind of a long season.

The Colts put the video of him addressing the team on twitter.

Listening to him give this speech should give Colts fans a good feeling. It shows that Reich will have a commanding voice in the locker room. He will do the best that he can to help the team reach their goals.

Hopefully the team will embody all three of these traits and more. Reich has already shown, though, that he commands the respect of his team.
