Create a Tailwind on your Team – Gratefulness
We all tend to think we are experiencing a tougher road in life than others. Whether it is a sibling that seems to have had an easier upbringing, other coaches that always get the calls or another kid that is getting all the game time. We all feel like we are running into a headwind and the deck is stacked against our success sometimes. As coaches and parents it is critical for us not to feed this resentment within our aspiring athletes.
Good coaches find ways to encourage gratitude within the team.
Gratitude is good for us and research has shown that those people that notice the tailwind in their life are more satisfied, sleep better and see the doctor less. Maybe thanking mom after the big game isn’t a cliche but an important step that recognizes the gift that even playing the game is, no matter the role.
So rather than seeing the obstacles and complaining about the referees, the other team, or a lack of playing time encourage your athlete to notice the tailwind in their life. It might just add to their enjoyment of the process and the success of your team.

First year coaching youth recreation team, any tips?
Hi all, this is my first year coaching in a youth (age 10-12) rec league and I was looking for any tips you might feel like sharing.
A couple of the kids are advanced for their age, but the majority of them aren’t and because of that I’ll most likely stick to basics/fundamentals at first (things like 3 man weave, Mikan drill for post players). Any other drills you suggest that are necessary to teach in terms of development?
Also if you have suggestions on books and videos I could look at that could help me get a further understanding of the game from a tactical standpoint, I’d greatly appreciate it. Anything helps!
