Youth coaches are critical to kidsβ sport experiences. They can influence whether young athletes enjoy sports and want to continue playing. Some coaches can get kids excited about sports, while other coaches may discourage kids or take the fun out of the game. A good coach can keep kidsβ interest in sports alive.
The ones that lose interest ....that feeling deflates them and creates a lack of comfort and security in sports. As coaches our boys look up to their as mentors and teachers and MEN in general. This isn't the actions we want to teach our boys. WE GOT TO DO BETTER AS A TEAM!
Young athletes focus on the wrong things during sports because they are preoccupied with gaining approval from the coach...but CONFUSION and Fear is a mental game killer for anyone!!! Especially kids!! To really benefit from and enjoy sports, young athletes need to feel confident and safe.
As a team there has to be great communication and an all around understanding of one another. And with that comes respect. Let's put 100% focus on these boys so they can have a fun and memorable senior year and bring home that championship Ring.... πΎππ
