General

Coaching sports can be a very rewarding experience.  It is human nature to want to share and give to others the things we have learned.   We are all teachers in everyday life, whether it be as a parent, continually encouraging and guiding our children toward success or away from harm, or as a business person directing profitable efforts.  Our teaching and sharing is essential to our beliefs as well as to our community.  So, like it or not, you are a Teacher.

Your plan to direct a group of young baseball players puts you in the teaching category known as the 'Coach'.  As a Coach, your success has very little to do with how many games your team wins.  Your greatest and longest lasting thrills will always come as you see the positive role you have played in the physical, mental, and emotional development of your young players.  This feeling is called The Ultimate Success.

No matter whether you are coaching your very first team or have twenty years experience, you must be able to recognize every need in order to achieve The Ultimate Success.
