Head coach

currently a 3rd tier coach. If you take a closer look at the rankings he is actually next to last among coaches that were retained from the 2017 season; only beating Hue Jackson from the Browns (and 7 other newly hired head coaches who are unranked). Names like Todd Bowels, Vance Joseph, and Jay Gruden are supposedly better coaches than Koetter. While Koetter’s second year out of the gate left much to be desired, designating him to effectively only out rank a lowly Browns coach should make…

It wasn’t the position I wanted, but a job is a job, right? At least, that’s what I told myself then. Assistant Head Pre-Team Coach is a very flashy title, but really I was just teaching kids how to swim. The first few days were hard; the water was so cold. These tiny 5- and 6-year-olds can’t keep themselves warm while in the pool, so the first week of practices were all very brief. Honestly, I would rather have been at home, sleeping, eating - doing homework, even - than in the water, but I had…

Imagine a 6 year old girl wanting to play softball and her first time on the field her coach is yelling at her. The topic of how a coach treats their player has been a debate thought history. Even though some say coaches should be strict, there should be strict rules for how a coach treats the players because it can mess with their head and could lead to unfair treatment. First of all, when coaches say push their players it affects the players mental state when it comes to the sport.…

asserting “no matter what happens out there, let’s hold our heads high throughout the entire game.” ➢ We ran onto the field motivated and inspired. Our head coach announced the starting line-up. Part of me could not help but feel a little disappointed when I did not hear my name. ➢ I grabbed a yellow pinnie, and stood besides my fellow teammates. We prepared ourselves to watch the game from the sidelines in the…

A personal issue that people face is the courage to try new things. People are afraid of being ridiculed by others who have experience in a certain field. I sometimes question why others will make fun of a someone because they have the courage to try something that they are unfamiliar with. While there are some who will deride a person for having the bravery and determination to be successful in a field that they have no experience in, the majority of those who are experienced will display…

The team followed the same path as the “Part of the House” tale where each member realized the value of the system as a whole and eventually came to support it. First, the idea of systems thinking is introduced when the head coach plans to run his team off of a combination of the Russian and Canadian teams’ approach where each player serves a specific purpose. Next, the principles…

Coaches have to learn to be patient , handle stress, be a teacher and friend on and off the court, ignore criticism, and a lot more.Coaching is releasing a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them. Coaches stress too much over being the best coach and having the best team that they let little things like criticism get to their head. No matter how great a coach is or how great they want to…
