As in life, youth sports are a complex combination of rules, skills and philosophies. Youth sports have been around for many years and are constantly changing. The only thing about youth sports that remains constant is the passion that it provokes from players, coaches and fans. That is why I am presenting you with the Coach's Best Friend.
There are over 25 different subjects discussed including:
Coaching your own child.
Dealing with today's players
Engaging The parents.
Dealing with success and failure.
How to practice plan.
Along with many other topics that can help you to have a much more enjoyable experience while coaching your child.
No reasonable person can refute the fact that the fundamental skills of American players are slipping, and therefore the American game. I believe a primary reason is an increased emphasis on coaching the game, and a decreased emphasis on teaching our kids how to play the game.
Generally, "coaching" consists of team preparation, the devising of game plans and schemes to defeat opponents. When you are coaching, you are dealing with strategies, different offenses and defenses, and putting in plays to take advantage of the skills, strengths and weaknesses of players. The measure of a coach is the quality of the development of his system, and has been distilled into winning.
"Teaching" consists of instruction and training of individuals in the fundamental skills of the game, and in teaching players how to play, instead of how to run plays. The measure of a teacher is not in winning, but in the fundamental soundness and skill level of the players taught. A player with excellent fundamentals and skills can play successfully in any system.
Over the past 20 years Aaron Locks and his staff have helped over 155,000 players, parents, coaches and officials get more from their sports experience. If you like sports, you will love this program offered by the National Academy of Athletics!
