...The Coach Is a ROLE MODEL... Coaches are usually held in high esteem by thier participants and often become important role models, particularly with children and young people. With such an important role comes a great deal of responsibility. To be a good role model, you should always set a good example to your participants in terms of dress, behaviour and attitude. Your professional relationship and attitude towards officials, spectators and other coaches must be at the highest standard. Think about the influence your behaviour will have on your participants, parents and other coaches. Try to be consistant and fair, what you say, what you do and what you ask of others.
...What Questions Do You Ask Yourself?...As a Coach...
