You're NOT a good coach if you think that your most important job as a coach is to win games

It's easy for coaches to get too obsessed with winning games. They believe that winning is the most important thing they do. As a coach, winning is just one part of the job. Your job is only as successful if you are passionate and eager to learn. If your sole purpose as a coach is winning games, you won't be doing your job right.

A good coach creates a safe environment for players to learn and develop. The coaches should set limits and not allow players to pick on each other. A coach who is good at treating his athletes with respect will be a good one. A coach who values his team and doesn't play games is a good one.

You're NOT a good coach if you place the outcome of a competition in front of the welfare of your players

A coach should never treat adolescent and pre-adolescent athletes with disrespect. Good teachers value their students regardless if they are in a position of power or fame. Respect for coaches takes time and daily behavior. If you place the results of a competition before the welfare your players, you're not a good teacher.

A good coach treats all athletes with respect. They don't judge or favor the top athletes. They won't let players tell their parents that they don’t get fair treatment and don’t deserve to be allowed to play. Being a favorite can make a team's performance suffer, discourage parents and make athletes feel uncomfortable.
