This document discusses 12 common mistakes that rookie coaches make and how veteran coaches approach situations differently. The mistakes include focusing on winning over sportsmanship, talking about win-loss record rather than players, allowing players to blame others rather than take responsibility, micro-managing rather than developing assistants, using intimidation rather than building relationships, benching players for mistakes rather than coaching them, focusing on starters over role players, emphasizing individual awards over team roles, hoping for leadership rather than teaching it, giving long intense talks rather than short focused ones, holding boring practices rather than energetic ones, and teaching only tactics rather than life lessons. The veteran coaches are presented as taking a more holistic developmental approach focused on the well-being

The document discusses safety and ethics in coaching basketball. It outlines the importance of conducting risk assessments to identify potential hazards and ensure player safety. Key areas of risk include facilities and equipment, gameplay, medical issues, and coaching practices.

The document discusses three coaching styles: command, submissive, and cooperative. The command style involves the coach making all decisions with athletes' role being to follow commands.

It is argued that the cooperative style best achieves the objective of putting athletes first while still allowing the coach to provide leadership, structure and discipline. Key aspects of leadership, developing team culture and qualities of successful coaches are also covered.
The coaching philosophy focuses on using basketball to develop lifelong skills in players such as communication, commitment, and being part of something larger. Success will be measured by player development in these areas, not just wins and losses.
The team will follow three principles: Play Hard, Play Smart, Play Together. Playing Hard means being defensive specialists and outworking opponents. Playing Smart means having a positive mentality and communication. Playing Together means celebrating teammates and accepting roles for the good of the team.
To maintain this culture, the coach will continuously improve, keep practices fresh, clearly communicate expectations, and develop offseason programs to help players grow as individuals and as a team.

1) Coaches must select one aspect of the game to focus on in each practice session and design activities that give players opportunities to work on that skill.
2) Coaches should observe players during practices to identify mistakes and provide guidance to help players correct their errors. This includes demonstrating the proper technique.
3) It is important for coaches to prepare before practices by planning themes, activities, equipment needs, and time allocation to avoid wasting time and maintain credibility with players.

Tips for beginner and struggling basketball coachesHoop Skills
New basketball coaches tend to have a few things in common with coaches that have been around a long time but are struggling to find ways to win - stress and uncertainty.
New coaches usually get overwhelmed with all that lies ahead of them. Their mind races with everything that needs to be done like learning the x's and o's, organizing practices, dealing with parents and building a winning program. There's a lot to think about and although it's usually pretty exciting for new head coaches, it can be intimidating
The document outlines the core values and philosophies needed to build a successful football program:
1) The mindset of everyone involved must change to one of winning, with thoughts and habits focused on sustained success.
2) Core values of telling the truth, being a gentleman, and loving your brother must be instilled.
3) A unified vision, strong feeder system, quality coaches, high standards, and character education are essential foundations.
4) An athlete development program, fundamentals-first approach, and focus on the core components of championship play like the run/pass balance and turnover margin are emphasized.
5) Building strong relationships based on honesty, accountability, and care for players is paramount
M.S. Dhoni is praised as an exemplary leader who leads by example from the front during crisis situations. He motivates his team to always give their 100% while keeping their morale high. Dhoni also takes risks by making spot decisions, some of which pay off, seeing what others may miss. He graciously accepts responsibility when his decisions backfire and builds trust within his team. As a leader, he handles criticism well and is not deterred from his process and goals. Entrepreneurs and managers can learn leadership skills like leading by example, motivating employees, taking smart risks, accepting mistakes, and handling criticism from Dhoni's example.

It identifies technical factors like quality preparation, mastering individual skills, high fitness levels, understanding overall team play, and minimizing errors. It emphasizes the importance of quality preparation, developing basic skills before complex plays, maintaining a high level of fitness even at the professional level, and ensuring players understand tactics rather than just executing plays. The document suggests these technical factors, when properly applied, can help athletes and coaches achieve peak performance in sports.
HSC Philosophy and Player Development 5 (1)Stan Baker
The document provides an overview of the Hillsboro Soccer Club's philosophy and approach to developing youth soccer players. It emphasizes a long-term development model focused on nurturing players' love for the game over just winning. The club aims to use soccer to teach life lessons like persevering through failure, finding self-worth, embracing hard work, and developing good habits. It also contrasts the long-term development approach with a "win now" approach, detailing the differences in priorities and strategies between the two models.
Mental toughness is an important skill for success in football that is often overlooked by coaches. Mental skills like maintaining concentration, controlling emotions, and performing under pressure can be trained through regular practice, even without physical practice on the pitch. A study found that basketball players who mentally visualized shots improved their shooting percentage as much as players who physically practiced. Coaches can help players improve performance and consistency by teaching mental skills techniques focused on self-talk, goal setting, awareness of physical and mental states, and the ability to refocus after mistakes. Working with a mental skills coach can help players develop the mental strength to perform consistently at their best.

Introduction
Many new coaches enter the
profession with high aspirations
and confidence that they will
become successful coaches.
They feel that since they played
the sport at a high level or that
because of their enthusiasm
success at the coaching level
will be easy. They think that
coaching is all about the X’s
and O’s and all about winning.
Yet they struggle their first few
years unless they have a solid
mentor or a solid coaching
program with their AD. They
struggle because they make a
lot of the common Rookie
Mistakes.
Here are the top12 Mistakes
Made by Rookie Coaches.
2
1. The Rookie talks about winning.
The Veteran talks about playing the
game the right way.
There are a lot of shortcuts
coaches can use to get the W. It could
start with the recruitment of athletes
to the college, manipulating the
transfer rules for HS or poaching
players from other clubs to play for
your club team. Most leagues have
policies and these should be honored
by the coach.
During games coaches can do
certain tactics that may not be ethical.
They may tell their players to continue
something against the rules because
the referees are not calling it. They
may allow their players to verbally
abuse, talk trash to the other team to
gain an advantage. Maybe their other
teams main player is the focus of
more physical play. All of these
methods may help the team win but
at what cost? Playing the game the
right way is a reflection on the coach.
It reflects on their integrity and what
they are teaching their players. If a
coach takes advantage in order to
win, that’s a pretty strong message
that the players take with them. Is
that the message we want to give our
players?

2. The Rookie talks about their
win-loss record. The Veteran
talks about their players.
Great coaches develop personal
relationships with the players.
They figure out what makes each
player tick, how each is
motivated. They show that player
that they care about them. It
takes time and an effort on the
part of the coach. In the end, this
is what we will remember as
coaches. We forget the wins and
losses, but we don’t forget the
players.
Many coaches feel that their
ego and status is measured by
their won-loss record. They feel
that if they have a winning
record, their coaching ability is
validated. They are a better coach
than coaches who have mediocre
records. They are focused on
their records and on winning. It
drives their ego system. However
by doing so they miss the
opportunity to connect with their
players.
2
3. The Rookie tends to allow
players to blame others
(players, refs, coaches), while
the Veteran teaches accepting
responsibility and the meaning
of “my fault”.
Dean Smith once wrote
something along the lines of “the
victories belonged to the players
while the defeats belonged to
him”. The coach who likes to
blame others, maybe the refs,
maybe a player or two...those are
the coaches that don’t take
responsibility onto themselves.
Perhaps the coach needed to
work with certain players more or
help to prepare for the game
better. To admit those
shortcomings is something that
is hard to do. it is much easier to
look outward and blame others.
It takes a veteran to be able to
look inward and see their own
shortcomings.
4. 4
Kudda www.kudda.com
4. The Rookie wants to do
everything and be the one in charge
of everything. The Veteran develops
and trusts their assistants.
The Rookie micro-manages his
assistants. The Veteran oversees his
assistants. The Rookie hires less
knowledgeable assistants, the Veteran
surrounds himself with the best
people.
The Rookie wants to control
everything. The Veteran will ask the
team to design uniforms, choose
footwear, and even contribute to
practice and game plan strategy
5. The Rookie coaches using the
Command Style of coaching while
the Veteran uses more of the
Cooperative Style.
The Rookie will coach through
intimidation. Will yell and scream at
players. The Veteran has a sense of
humor and has developed a
relationship w/ each player. The
Veteran knows that each player in
motivated differently and knows
how to motivate each player. The
Rookie corrects players negatively.
The Veteran attaches something
positive with the comment of
correction.
5. 5

6. The Rookie is more apt to bench
a player immediately for a mistake,
while the Veteran will not
embarrass the player but even use
the situation to build the player’s
confidence.
The Rookie coach doesn’t realize
that by benching a player when they
make a mistake will create a culture
of fear in the team. Players will know
that if they make a mistake, they are
coming out of the game. Players will
then play to “not make a mistake” vs
“playing to execute their skills”.
The Veteran will take a player out
of the game for instruction, 1v1 time
with the coach, a moment to see how
they can improve their play, explain
ways to improve their mistakes and
immediately get them back in the
game to give them the opportunity to
correct their mistake/improve their
play.
2
7. The Rookie focuses on the
starters. The Veteran also works
with the “role players”.
It is easy to work with the players
who quickly pick skills up and are
able to execute them. Coaches get
that sense of accomplishment and
validation to their coaching abilities
by seeing players improve quickly.
They may get frustrated by the
weaker players who need more time
to learn the skill. They may look
down on these players and not give
them the 1 on 1 time these players
deserve. Thus the skills “gap”
between starters and bench players
grows. Eventually the coach will
need to have these bench players
step up during a game to replace a
starter but without enough attention
the bench players will falter. This
begins a downward spiral as the
coach will now become even more
frustrated with the bench players.
The veteran coach knows,
understands and believes in the old
adage about “you’re only as strong
as your weakest link”. The veteran
also knows the importance to the
team that the bench players provide.
Team chemistry, work ethic and
hustle are determined by the bench
players.

8. The Rookie tends to hand out
MVP and high scorer awards. The
Veteran believes in “practice player
of the year” and “defensive”
awards.
It’s so easy to focus on the main
contributors on the team but it takes
a conscientious effort on the part of
the coach to focus on what really
matters. Create awards that are
based on hustle, heart, effort, team
work instead of ability. The Veteran
also focuses on the bench players in
