Why do I like to coach?

I like to coach because I love the game of basketball. When played with heart and brains it seems like poetry. What I love more is that I am graced with the opportunity to affect kid's lives by offering an atmosphere of respect, safety, and guidance.

My goals are:

To be the kind of coach that gives a child an opportunity to learn, try, and yes, even fail. Without adversity you can never really appreciate the goals when a child does finally achieve them. I leave myself open to always learn more and never assume that I know everything because if I do believe this then I become complacent and then I will cease being effective as a coach.

My philosophy on coaching:

My philosophy is that a coach should not only be confident but also humble because as a coach you hold the power to positively affect a player's happy ever lasting childhood memories, or possibly taking their enjoyment of a sport away from a child for the rest of there lives.
