Question of the Day:
Define "Effective Coaching"
We know what effective is. We know what coaching is.
Can you define effective coaching? Is it coaching up a 10u player to become an 18u gold stud and D1 prospect? Is it winning every top tournament at any cost?
I've met great coaches who are very nice and make great motivational speeches, win or lose.
I've met a**hole coaches who are cutthroat even before the first pitch is thrown, berate their players, but motivate indirectly and unintentionally through their bold will.
Not sure who is the more effective coach. Not sure what their end goal is.
Don't mean to get all "Friedrich Nietzsche" on you all, but being that we have all sorts of minds here on HB with different approaches on this young women's sport, I think it's a good topic to get the mental juices flowing.
Good morning by the way
