Topic:  Being More Assertive & Confident As a Coach

Question from Steve:
I'm new to coaching basketball, and this season I'll be coaching 8-10 4th and 5th grade boys. I don't come across as a particularly confident assertive person. Got any tips on how I can have a successful season?

My 1st year coaching (5th and 6th grade), I got some good advice from the league director when I told him I didn't know much about basketball. He said, you know more than the kids do. You also have a great web site here that will give you everything you need. Make sure they know you care about them and stress having fun while they learn.

After 27 years of coaching I have learned this: It's not what you know, it's what they think you know.

Go into ever practice with a plan, stick to the plan. Just keep in mind where you are going, don't be concerned with the route you take. You don't have to know everything and there is nothing wrong with saying, "I'm not sure. Lets walk through it together and see what we come up with.
