Coaching Philosophy
A coaching philosophy is a statement of what you value and how you will approach your coaching role. It covers your purpose as a coach and how you will approach player development and winning. Your coaching philosophy consists of your major objectives and the beliefs and principles that you adhere to in order to achieve your objectives.
“Success is getting a group of kids to play together, as a team, play hard and reach their ultimate potential while having fun.”
