Characteristics of a Good Coach

Characteristics of a Good Coach

By Derek Parola

I've had dozens and dozens of coaches in my sports career and each one has touched my life in more ways than one. As a child growing up, I looked up to my coaches and they were almost felt like second parents to me. The power of a coach can be similar to that of your parents. They can teach valuable life lessons like hard work, determination, teamwork, and leadership. From previous experience, a coach's impact can forever stay with a player until the day he dies. The more dedicated the player, the more likely the player can trust a coach. From what I've noticed, all good coaches have certain traits that they all contain. I'll share with you the three characteristics that I believe all good coaches have.

The first and most important characteristic is being committed. A coach must show that he or she is willing to do just about anything for their players. As a player, nothing wants to make you want to win more than a coach that is passionate and loving towards his or her team. A coach that is committed gets players to be more committed to working hard and being better people on or off the field.

The next characteristic is trust. A coach must trust his players on and off the field or court. If a coach cannot trust their players, then how is a player supposed to trust their coach. Trust can help players feel more comfortable in high pressure situations. I say this because if the most powerful person in the building trusts you with the ball or the bat in your hand, then you should be able to trust yourself to handle that situation.

The last characteristic is patience. The famous saying "patience is a virtue" is true in almost aspects of life, especially in coaching. Patience allows players to believe in themselves even after rough practices or tough games. There's nothing worse than playing for a coach that loses his mind after one turnover, an error, or an interception. A coach that tells you to keep going and to keep your head up after a physical mistake are the coaches that players love to play for. Now obviously, everyone won't agree with me that these are the three most important characteristics, but I believe that everyone can agree that all good coaches possess these characteristics. These three traits are a must in all good coaches.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
