I was watching my eldest tryout for a team that gets to travel to the states for a weekend and found myself asking myself, “What is better coaching to teach or coaching to adjust?”
Allow me to explain , as I was witnessing these 17 year old girls doing basic dribbling drills I was amazed that some of them were still unable to perform some fundamental two ball dribbles that I have my 9 year olds completing I began to think that one of the wonders of coaching is being able to make each player better in some way throughout the year.
It also reminded me how much I miss coaching, well that is a whole other subject.
But you see , when I coach beginners I tend to focus on teaching the fundamentals of the game while with the elite team I am applying for it is more a matter of making minor when adjustments to their game and more focus on game strategies. I am wondering if I will miss the teaching aspect of the game …..
I guess only time will tell .
