📝 Karsten Miller (MFVAllSportsNetwork)

If there is one thing I want you to know it’s that the DMV has some excellent coaches. They are plentiful, so how do you recognize that you possess a good coach!!! Here a 5 signs to help you distinguish whether you have good athletic leader in your midst:

1 -THEY BELIEVE IN YOU – Whether you’re a good or bad player, possess talent or not; that coach is going to see your potential and push you to be your best. 

2 – THEY LEAD BY EXAMPLE – Your coach is not going to be a bunch of speeches and pep talks. Their actions outweigh their words where they show up, work hard and have accountability because they hold to a right standard.

3 – THEY COMMUNICATE WELL – A good coach listens, and gives honest feedback (this will be layered with respect for you as a human being). There is no confusion as to their message to you and the lines of communication are open.

4 – THEY BUILD CHARACTER – Your coach is excellent when their coaching goes beyond the playbook. They teach you lessons for life on and off the field/court.

5 – THEY CELEBRATE & CORRECT – They are proud of you when you win and provide correction when you make mistakes. They will go to ends and put your relationship on the chopping block if necessary for the benefit of your success. 

We hope you all have wonderful coaches. It is a blessing and makes playing sports a joy. Reality is though, not everyone has this. Next time we’ll cover the 5 signs you know you have a bad coach.
