Helping Boys Become Men and Girls Become Women
Fred Opie coaching 1 and 2 graders in Sleepy Hollow, New York
Too many club and high school coaches cannot resist the temptation to win at all cost. They let their best players get away with poor choices instead of teaching them early on how to be a responsible women or man. Coaches need to focus on developing decision making, health relationship, empathy, loyalty, and skill development. Coaches focus on transforming boys in the men and girls into women instead of your win loss record. A
s a coach you are hurting your players and program when you play favorites and overlook unacceptable behavior among your players. Discipline even bench selfish and unruly standout players. In the long wrong you will do more to help that player succeed in the future.
