Coach Smart - Head coach

My vision on coaching consists of being player centered. To constantly ask yourself what it feels like to be coached by yourself. This is to ensure a coach is positively impacting the player. Each coach should understand that the player is the main actor. Nothing should be centered around scores or own personal egos or biases. Every coach should create an environment that is focused on fun, respect, safety, & development. We should constantly remember that development is non-linear and complex. Coaches should constantly evaluate if the environment is full of quality, quantity, & intensity to promote the development process. While trying to promote development we should remember that fun is the biggest predictor of sports commitment while also promoting a sense of belonging for every player.
