Emphasis and Success
Coaching emphasis would be individual development and decision-making. These two components are fundamental to developing team play.
The first component, individual development, begins with teaching the player proper technique, but more importantly creating and sustaining a player’s desire to strive to their potential. Desire is attained by creating a fun and positive learning environment. If the player’s desire grows, he/she will challenge and improve themselves beyond the practices.
The second component, decision-making, starts with establishing guidelines and principles of the game. Once they are defined and practiced, decision-making is made with consistency and speed.
Success is the improvement from the beginning to the end of the season in each player. Success is a player’s growth in his/her desire to play and share the game.
