Overcoming Excuses

I’m tired

Not my sport

I may get hurt

I am not any good

Have to focus on only one thingSlide10

Coaches Expectations

Be early, we expect our athletes to be early so we need to set the example.

Have high expectations and the athletes will respond.

We want to win all aspects of the night from the time we

get off the bus.

Expect your players to look nice and act appropriately. We never leave a mess

at

someone else’s

field,

a restaurant or our

field.

Make sure your players understand

. These athletes are our responsibility; do not allow them to go to the restroom unless they have a buddy.

We have a tradition of singing the school song when we arrive in Weimar, make sure the tradition carries on

.

Be positive around our athletes. We have a great group of kids they just need some guidance in the right direction. If you have to get onto a player try to find something they do well later and let them know the positive also.

We are going to have to build these athletes up. A lot of them have a very low self confidence. I totally believe a guy has to play good to feel good where a girl has to feel good to play good. We need to work a lot on the mental side.

IT IS A GREAT DAY TO BE COAHING THE WEIMAR LADYCATS!!Slide11

3. Get extra practice on cuts and backup.

4. A chance to get out the nerves.

5. Can be intimidating to the other team.Slide24
