Coach Carlson is notorious for his passion for the game, and his time is well spent educating his players on what is important. He spends time sitting down with and visiting with his players about goals, what is or isn't important, and how to achieve those goals. He is 100% committed to the teams he coaches, and his work rate and the schedule he keeps more than shows it. He lets the players make decisions because it is their team, and then puts in the time and effort to support those decisions. He definitely practices what he preaches because he expects 100% and gives it!
