When Pete Carroll came to town, he said he would be open to allowing the players that he coached the ability to be who they are. Many skeptics at the time didn’t believe that his style of coaching would win games. Michael Bennett is the latest player to put his style to the test.
Those same skeptics laughed at his coaching style his first few years in Seattle, until 2013, when that team took home the Lombardi trophy in a convincing way.
Throughout the years, the Seahawks brass have proven that when a player feels comfortable in his surroundings by promoting the idea that they can be who they are, not only does the player feel happier, but they begin to play for personal success; as well as playing for each other.
