Posted Jan 24/14 - First Time coaches

While watching a game it occured to me that the first time or year coach has a lot to learn on the fly,most first time coaches come into the youth sports arena thinking it can't be that difficult they learn very quickly that coaching is a little more than x's and o's a first time coach yes should take their lumps but should also get some education first on how to relate and interact with the parents then players.

Most seasoned coaches in youth sports struggle with public interaction today's youth sports has become more than the game wait yesterdays coaches will say well in my day (#####) and that is well and fine but you won't coach long in today's youth sporting world if you can't take on parents and possibly a spoiled player or two.

One glaring thing that will catch anyone's attention who understand what the game is will be that most first time coaches also fail within the basic skills set to build players and as for game situation well they get frustrated quickly after finding out that those professional looking plays won't work as well as they did on television . First time coaches should receive as much help as possible without making them feel insecure about what knowledge they do have about sports which may be out dated and have no place in today's sports.
