Ask many winning coaches what their secret to success is and they may point to strategy, tactics, cohesion or the cliche default, “the players.”
For Couper Gunn, the 26-year-old head coach for boy’s soccer at Kearsarge (N.H.) Regional High School, the foundation of his coaching philosophy is based on something that seems softer but hits harder and drivers deeper.
“That philosophy is based on love,” he said. “I like to think that, even in and especially in the hard moments like me calling them out for something that needs to better. They know that it’s coming from a place of love and, more importantly, that I love them.”
