Coaching Philosophy: Developing Your Guiding Principles
A clear coaching philosophy is essential for consistent and effective guidance.
It defines your values, beliefs, and approach to athlete development. Consider:
  • What are your core values (e.g., integrity, athlete-first, hard work)?
  • What is your primary goal as a coach (e.g., performance, holistic development)?
  • How do you approach feedback, motivation, and discipline?
  • What role do you see yourself playing in an athlete's life?
"Know thyself, and you will know your athletes."
