What Is My Coaching Philosophy

As a coach there are a lot of things that you come across throughout a season. To help you with all of the obstacles that may come up during the season you have to set a coaching philosophy to help you with the obstacles. Some of the items that I will have in my philosophy is my coaching style, teaching my athletes proper sportsmanship, expectations for myself and my athletes. My coaching philosophy will always consist if having my athletes best interest at heart. I do not want to have atheles have prolonged injuries due to my lack of knowledge or lack of caring. If my athletes is hurt and they say "they can play" I want the proper staff to evaluate their physicall well being before I make the decision to play that particular athlete or not. To me the most important thing about the game of football is training my athletes to play the game to their best
ability and making sure they are staying safe while out on the field. The coaching style that I believe will bet suit me is the cooperative style of coaching, the cooperative coaching style entails is sharing your decision making with your athletes while still maintaining responsibility for your athletes and your team.
This certain coaching style teaches the kids how the basic technical and tactical skills for the certain sport but it also teaches the athlete life long skills on how to be a better person and always have what is best for the team instead of your individual self. I also want to teach my athletes the importance of sportsmanship and how to respect others while they are on the field. Sportsmanship is the ethical, appropriate, polite and fair behavior while participating in a game or athletic event. It is important for my athletes to understand this concept because if they are taught to brag and to whine and blame others for their shortcomings they will never understand the importance of taking responsibility for what they may or may not have accomplished. If they can accomplish this understand of sportsmanship it will lead them to be great adults in
society. My expectations for myself is to the highest standard I want to teach my athletes to be the best player they can be but I want to teach them to be a great member of society and I will hold them to those standards I do not want to teach them bad habits but only good ones, I expect my athletes to be good sports, good people in society and to always do the right thing even though the right thing may get them in trouble. I expect myself to instill the same morals and beliefs that my coaches helped me to believe in. Without them setting themselves to a standard of coaching I would not be the person I am today. But, I want to set those expectations of myself and teach my athletes the proper way to play and be a good member of society and I expect my athletes to want to listen and learn from me and become better people.
