Joseph’s Answer

Everything is not that easy as you think of now.

Being a basketball coach, you have to love this sport in your heart first. Imagine if you lost everything, but you still want to play basketball.

Second, you have to be a spirit leader to lead your players when they are in a down situation. So you have to be resilient enough to become a team lead.

Third, become a basketball expertise with great personal technique and basketball tactics. You have to watch thousands of basketball videos and know hundreds of strategies to make a quick adjust when the opponents use different tactics.

Hope you could be a great coach in the future. Good luck.

Joseph recommends the following next steps:

Do more research about the coach career path to see if that's what you want. One good way is to choose one of your favorite coach and read more history about this person.
Improve your personal basketball skills and try to become a professional basketball player
Took video of each game you play and watch again and again to find something to make progress

Eric’s Answer

Kyle,

To answer your question, I personally think to be a good coach is based on the individual interpretation of good. What is viewed as good to one person, may not be viewed as good to others. So that question is very broad, however, I will say what has helped me is learning from my old coaches and studying the game. Also knowing the different dynamics of what make a good coach. How they evaluate? How they prepare? How they view improvement, and most of all how they instruct their players. What about their leadership? What is the bases of their leadership and what are they trying to accomplish? These are just a few that goes along with being a good coach in my opinion. Beyond this I personally think how one live their life is important? Their core beliefs? Their knowledge of the importance of education? Their knowledge of community? All of these skills help with shaping a good coach but again, this is my personal view. I hope this help with your growth!

Go to Barnes and Nobel or your local Library and find some books on clacking basketball. You’ll learn a lot.


Best,


Coach E
