Coaching Philosophy

Cooperative Style: Share with the athletes in making decisions. Provide leadership and guide the team toward achieving the objectives set forth.

“Winning isn’t everything, but striving to win is.” The emphasis should not be on winning, but striving to win.

Every decision made and every behavior displayed is based first on what the coaches think is best for the athletes; second, on what may improve the athlete or the team’s chance of winning.

Make it possible for athletes to develop the capacity to set their own goals and learn to strive for them.

Give them responsibility during practices; allow them to make up their own rules.

Most of the coaching should be done while they are practicing, and they learn faster by performing.

The game is for the players. It is their chance to show what they have learned.

Encourage each player to compete against his own past performance rather than against the performance of the other players.

Simplify. Complexity is confusing.

Accentuate the positive.

Encourage them to be their best. They may all be the same calendar age, but that does not mean that they are all the same biological age.

“Coaches coach, players play, and spectators spectate.”

2. Instruction and constructive critcism is an essential element to this process of improvement and these gestures are not personal.

3. Sportsmanship will be promoted at all times; win or lose.

Parent’s Guidelines

Athletic achievement requires a sincere commitment from players, parents, and coaches. Effective communication and support between all are essential. Coaches will always be accessible to players and parents. Coaches will be willing to discuss the expectation that they have for the team and individual players. It is not reasonable or appropriate to discuss other team members other than your own son.
