- By Jeff Haefner


1. Look them in the eye when you speak.

2. Listen to them and be empathetic.

3. Communicate your expectations clearly.

4. Follow-through on your promises.

5. Be honest.

6. Make sure they're having fun whether they're winning or losing.

7. Fulfill your commitment as their coach and teach them to be better players.

8. Remember that your goal is to make a difference in their lives, not win the national championship.


See, I told you it was simple. :)

This is good advice.
When your team comes off the floor after losing a close game. If they feel they did their best and feel good about them selves. You are doing a good job.

Cause there alot of coaches and parents who forget this , sometimes it seem that all people want is to win and they for get that its about the kids learning and having fun.
