Coaching philosophy (excerpt) - by S.NewtonMy coaching experience is primarily limited to youth sports however I have competed at high school and university and remain a fan of sports at all levels. At times my coaching approach and beliefs vary depending on the age group and competitiveness of the groups involved. Young children learning a sport have different needs than professional athletes and this should be reflected in a coaching philosophy. With regard to Youth sports (through high school) my overall philosophy is very simple and can be summarized as follows: At the end of the season every child that plays on my team should want to play again the next year. If they want to come back, then I’ve done my job.
