Coaching at any level of the game is a huge responsibility, but also an immensely rewarding one!
It can be challenging and time-consuming, but the pleasure that comes from contributing to players’ skill and social development far outweigh any barriers.
It is important that, as coaches, we actively demonstrate the key beliefs of our game – courage, inclusiveness, excellence and teamwork.
By being a positive leader, you have the capacity to shape lives, to mould young minds, and to provide opportunity for success and enjoyment – both on and off the footy field.
Win or lose, our jobs as coaches is to always promote sportsmanship, respect, fun, and to lead by example.
Enjoy your coaching experience!
Best wishes!
