[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had a conversation with my brother-in-law this weekend and realized we had completely different views. So was looking for some other opinions..
Not a Club-centric or bashing question.

What do people think the ideal coach at the U9/U10 age group is like...

How much directing from the sidelines during a game?
How do they act/react when the team is winning by a huge margin?
How do they act/react when the team is losing by a large margin?
What's their primary motivating technique?[/quote]

How much directing from the sidelines during a game?

Little to none. The coaching should come at practice, the game is to see the kids think, and play, for themselves. Nothing hurts development more than a coach that joysticks their kids.

How do they act/react when the team is winning by a huge margin?

Moving positions around, practicing possession game. Pay reserves more if they have reserves.

How do they act/react when the team is losing by a large margin?

Scream louder at the kids. That always gets them to play better. Kidding obviously.

What's their primary motivating technique?

Ideally, improving the kids, building confidence. Not many coaches like that unfortunately. Too many win first folks. [/quote]
