You got the Nike Pleated Coaching Pants or for the ladies you got the short Nike Dri-fit shorts. You got the stylish Ray Bans pulled up over the top of your hair. You got the tucked in polo shirt or the racerback with your club program represented on the left chest. You’re standing on the sideline in front of your bench while the games going on, but are you coaching?
Many coaches fall into the trap of watching the game as if they were a spectator, waiting for their team to magically start playing the game the right way, or react to what happens on the field.
As a coach, it’s your job to anticipate what might happen next, communicate to your team in a timely and effective manner, and set the tempo for the action on the field.
Games aren’t a time to sit back and relax. It’s a time to turn on your brain, push your team forward, and give everything you have.
