Look yourself in the Mirror.
Coaches, what is your first job?
Well, if you are a professional coach, coaching at the highest level, it would be to win.
If you are a youth coach, coaching a premier, competitive, or recreational team, it should be to get your players to the next level.
Is it shocking to hear that all emphasis should not be placed on winning? I hope not.
The truth is that we as coaches have to do a mental check, and ask the question, “What am I coaching for?” Is it to beat everyone in my path, or is it to make every player that I touch better?
