Two things that drive good coaches crazy are athletes that don't pay attention to instruction and athletes who don't try to properly execute what was being taught. They both go hand in hand. Always pay attention and be focused on your coach so that your coach can teach you how to perform better, and not behave better.
When your coach is talking, you:
- Look them in the eyes the whole time
- You give him/her ALL of your attention
- You don't pay attention to anybody else when he/she is talking
- If your friends are distracting you, move away from them; your learning is your responsibility
- Listen with the intent on learning so that you know what he/she expects and so that you can execute what they are asking you to do
- When they are talking, they are giving you instruction and directions - follow them the first time
- If you don't understand, raise your hand and ask for clarification
The only way coaches know if you don't know or understand is when you ask or when you mess up - so don't get upset if you mess up and they correct you - especially if you don't ask for help
- Say yessir/ma’am, no sir/ma’am
- Say thank you
- Every day, every practice, every time
That is my expectation of you as your parent and you as my child.
