Undermining a
Coach
Imagine the following scenario. As a
player rides home from a game with his parents, the father begins his
critique of the game. He begins by telling his son that; "Your coach is
making a big mistake with the way he’s handling you. Everyone knows that
you’re better than Ralph is and should be one of the starting forwards.
What is he thinking?"
What ramifications does this behavior have for the
player? For the coach?

About Kids and Sports
| What is a Good Coach?
A good coach is someone who:
 |
knows winning is wonderful
but is not the triumph of Sports. |
|
goes to work early, misses
meals, gives away weekends and plays havoc with family schedules
so he or she can help out a group of youngsters. |
|
stays a half hour after
practice and more to make sure every one of the players has a
safe ride home. |
|
rarely has a mom or dad
say, "Hey, Thanks," but receives a lot of advice on game day. |
|
makes sure everyone gets
to play. |
|
knows what to do if a
player gets hurt. |
|
teaches young people that
winning is not Verdana, but still lies in bed at night staring at
the ceiling wondering what he or she might have done differently
to have turned a loss into a win. |
|
can help a child learn to
take mistakes in stride. |
|
sometimes helps a child
develop ability and confidence that sometimes did not exist
before. |
|
knows that soccer is
great, but that school is the prime endeavor in these
children's' lives? |
|
a youngster will remember
a long time after the last game has ended and the season is
over. |
