Coaches: An Influential Role Model

176 Words1 Pages
Coaches cannot expect anything more from their players other than what they are providing to the team themselves. A coach has to want success just as much as the players do. Influence, communication, trust, motivation, and positivity must be present on both parts of the team, but, most importantly from the coach, the influential role model. In team sports, players do not individually fail, but, instead teams fail as a whole. Winning is done as a team, just as losing is. In order for, not only an individual, but a whole team to be successful, a strong and trustable coach-athlete relationship must be present between every coach and player involved in the game. No one person on a team is more important or has any more benefits than the other.
