Things great coaches do...

Things great coaches do may include:

• Pushing your child out of his/her comfort zone to improve his/her play

• Demanding focus and effort each and every day

• Playing your child in an unfamiliar position

• Not starting your child in every game

• Having higher expectations for your child than you do

• Having a different opinion of your child’s ability than you do

• Expecting commitment, and reasonable repercussions for players who do not fulfill it, applied equally for every player

• Expecting your child to adhere to team rules and standards

• Holding your child to a standard that you might not hold him or her to. It might cost the team a game, but will teach a lesson for life

This is the type of coaching I want for my kids.
