[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Being able to and knowing how to develop and train players to become better.  This means from early fall to late fall they become better at the game in all aspects (technical and on the field positioning).

2. Holding players accountable.  Does the coach expect players to train 10-15 minutes at home?  Do it.  Does the coach expect players to be able to juggle 10 at at time in three months?  They hold them to it at practice.

3. Being positive when coaching hard.  There is a fine line between coaching too hard and coaching too soft.  Good coaches know how to explain what their players are doing wrong without them feeling bad.

4. Making the game fun.  Some coaches don't make the game fun.  These are still kids.  They want to have fun playing the game.[/quote]

I posted my list above and I love all 4 of these points also! Fun is key.  I'm saddened that over the past 2-3 weeks my 10 year old has said she didn't think her Coach liked her.  This is on a competitive team. We've worked hard to be here.  I'd be crushed if my DD wanted to quit or change teams because of this one issue. And watching practice, it doesn't seem that fun at all.  There is no enthusiasm from the Coach. [/quote]
