Re: Coaching question

Well, I'm our coach this year and I'm a "rookie coach" - we've never had a student do it before. I took a different approach from the mentors who had done it. My approach is "do this, I don't care how you do it, just do it" as in, "Put the tetra on that oints towards back right goal:" but I'm not gonna be like "Drive forward, turn left, extend the arm" - I do however do this when I notice my drivers are getting nervous. or my perspective is better than theirs.

Overall, I do the more strategic part of the game, not always even watching my team but seeing where they'll be making the next move.

And yes I talk to the other coaches, especially around 20 seconds we decide if we want to get back or not. Occasionally I'll tell other coaches what goal we're getting if I think they're going to go for it also.

Hope that helps!
