We must do what is best for our athletes at all times while maintaining a strict TEAM concept. Set aside differences in philosophy to achieve a unified coaching team which, in turn, will allow our athletes to have the best opportunity to be successful. Chemistry among coaches is as important if not more important as the chemistry among the athletes of our team. Furthermore, it is essential that we support the parents of our athletes. After all, they are the ones allowing us to be a part of their child s life acknowledge and appreciate that trust.
Parents can challenge coaches at times.
This is good because it keeps us focused on doing the right thing and making good decisions. We must be consistently fair with the student athletes and believe in ourselves and the philosophy of the program. The head coach will always support the assistant coach that is questioned by parents as long as that assistant has followed through with the plan of the head coach and is a true promoter of the philosophy of the head coach. Assistant coaches must display a sincere, infinite willingness to learn . Young coaches must never fear being wrong.
