Player mindset, the 'mental' side of the game

Dealing with parents - Communication skills that let you get on with your job while making them feel heard

Dealing with players - Leading them to unity and success

Dealing with other coaches - Leading the Leaders

Serious - it keeps them focussed, and they're rewarded by their results

Fun - It's a game, right? If they're not enjoying themselves, what's the point?

Conservative - I grew up in the 'school of hard knocks'. You earn playing time, and consistency is the route to success

Even handed - Players should understand the lessons of the game but I want to turn any negatives into learning experiences.

Inclusive. I like to reward participation, and for some of these kids it's all they've got.

Varies by player age or skill, everyone's an individual with their own needs - I see them, and I hear them, and I apply what's needed in the best way for each player

I love coaching!

I want to spend more time with my child.

My child's sports development should be done properly

Nobody else volunteered

The previous coach was hopeless, and they asked me to step up

These kids have got great potential in life, with the right guidance

Glory Days - The Boss

Enter Sandman - Metallica

Centerfield - John Fogerty

Wild Thing - Ricky Vaughn

The Greatest - Kenny Rogers

Tessie - Dropkick Murphys
