6 Common Mistakes of New Coaches 1. Too much focus on X’s and O’s. 2. Not clearly defining player roles. 3. Avoid communicating with parents. 4. Over-promise playing time for players. 5. Worry too much about pleasing others. 6. Forget about their #1 Job, to build culture.

When it comes to practicing, I am reminded of what the Old Coach use to say. “If you practice at half speed, you get really good at going half speed. And that’s not half good enough.” "In order to kick it in gear during a game, you have to kick it in gear daily at practice."

Great coaches understand that it’s always about the players, not about you. How can it be about you when you’re asking your players to do 99% of the work to be successful? Your job is to provide the backbone for the team & if you put them first, they’ll want to provide the heart!
