What do Players want in a Coach?

Just ask them.

Here are the 8 things I heard from our team.

1: A Coach that CARES
The #1 thing kids want to know about their coaches or teachers. Do you care about me as a person? They will run through a wall for you if they know you care. Show them you care.

2: A Coach that Makes it FUN
Coaching a varsity sport can be both competitive and intense. There needs to be a balance. Don’t overcoach. Less is more. Break up the monotony of a long season. Mix it up. Shorten practices at the end. Keep it a Game. Keep it FUN.

3: A Coach who is HONEST
This is so important for athletes. They all want to know where they stand. They want to know their role, even if it is not what they want to hear. There is nothing worse for a player than not knowing where they stand.

4: A Coach who is COMPETITIVE
Players want to win and compete, and they want a coach who will compete with them and give them the best chance to win. They also inherently want to be held accountable, disciplined and challenged.

5: A Coach that has a PASSION for their Sport.
Players want a coach with drive and passion. They will feed off their coach's energy and passion. Players want commitment, just as coaches do. Lead by example with your passion and energy.

6: A Coach who brings HUMOR
Players want humor, a natural person, and the opportunity to share the entire experience with their coach. A sense of humor does that. Be willing to laugh with your team, be willing to be vulnerable, and make memories that will last a lifetime.

7: A Coach who is a TEACHER of the Game
Players want to learn and grow. They want feedback to improve. They want someone who can teach them the game and give them specific feedback on how to improve. They do not want a blowhard.

8: A Coach that Builds RELATIONSHIPS
Players want a Relationship with their coach. They want a coach who cares about them as a person. Outside of your sport, get to know your players. Ask them questions. Make a connection that will last a lifetime.
