Treat players with respect, listen to their input and remember that you can learn from them as well. This is essential if you are to know your players and help them bond as a team. If they feel that you listen to them, they will respect your decisions and follow your lead. Explain to each player his or her role. You can't expect a player to perform as you would like if you don't convey your expectations.
Communication is extremely important to create a team atmosphere.
You must care more about your players than your own personal goals and realize that you can have a huge influence on the players and their lives. Accept that players will make mistakes. A good coach is one who can remain calm and pull the team together. You must create a belief amongst your team members that they will persevere and come out on top. Most coaches say they don't have favorite players, but as humans we know this isn't possible.
