Good morning everyone,
So, I have my pre season parent/team meeting night coming up in a few days. I've thought a lot about the types of things I will say and have some materials I will be handing out like my code of conduct, and some good coach May quotes and stuff that I've compiled. Just wondering what types of things other people do.
I tend to feel like I'm talking too much sometimes. Its one thing about my coaching I'm working hard to improve on this year. Don't over coach, give the kid 1-2 key points to work on, and just get back to giving him more reps. So one of the things I thought i might do is a couple of activities to put the parents and players in the drivers seat. for instance, i might put 2 columns on the whiteboard: "good" and "bad." I might ask some questions like "What are some qualities that define a good or bad coach coach?," "What are some clear signs of a good or bad teammate?" and call on parents and players to make the list and drive the discussion. After some discussion, I will give my handouts and we will take turns reading through them and discussing.
Lets bounce some ideas around! Thanks.
