At-the... I wound up volunteering to coach basketball, a game I new almost nothing about. Soon after I wound up with the work, a parent approached me and asked what type of coaching style I would use. After I managed to clean up the blank look o-n my experience and stammer out some dull answer, I went quickly to the privacy of my own house to prevent any more questions, and therefore, not let my inexperience be known, for I knew after that issue that I was in way over my head. At that time I was probably more worthy of coach football, but basketball was what I was dealt. A buddy of mine who had played basketball in senior school told me that his coach had used a hands-on coaching model. The coach played with the athletes, showing them the different processes to use, and what situation to use them in, etcHowever, he also stated that coaching basketball is significantly more than just playing basketball with the youngsters like his coach did, but coaching is also about teaching fundamental skills that the people may use for life, as well as team work. Feeling confused next conversation and a lot more hopeless I attempt to do heavy research on the matter of teaching basketball. I instantly recognized that a large list of references existed to simply help me, which gave a great feeling to me of relief.

I'd never considered such ideas as group play, spreading and sportsmanship in relation to coaching activities before, but from my reading I began to get familiar with the issues and a few ideas. I quickly realized that basketball was about more than just putting a ball through a hoop. Included in my re-search I began reading articles that centered on making capabilities and confidence level in young athletes while teaching. I did my best to absorb every thing, but still felt that I may be a little out of my element coaching a basketball team. I had to continually reassure myself that I can do it. The whole experience ultimately taught me that before you can coach others you should be in a position to coach yourself, but Im getting ahead of myself. Ive been teaching for six days now. I'm Ive done a good job of supporting my players develop skills and confidence levels they could use on the court and in the real world. This experience has taught me much about myself and about instruction. In regards to teaching, I've learned that it is not all fun and games, but a huge responsibility; but, I think Ive prepared myself for the challenge. In the end, my staff is 5 and 1. While coaching a group might seem a very attractive job to many a sports fan, it's difficult. I only coach at the Junior Higher level and its exhausting and stressful. I cant imagine what it is like at the professional level, and I dont want to. Should you be thinking about being a coach, be sure and give some serious thought to it..
