Coaching kids is about inspiring them to play the game for a life time; empowering their love and enjoyment of the game through a process of acquiring and developing skills in a way where they’re in control and responsible for their own development.
It starts by creating the right environment where the right culture can evolve. A culture where creativity can thrive, failure is embraced, and perseverance is necessitated, all underpinned by full trust in the process.
