on 11/20/2007 I had to reveiw all of the youth sports parenting books for my city when we were writing our new sports manual this fall. The one that we chose out about 12 books was Chapter 10 in Home Team Advantage by Brooke de Lench. The chpater is titled: Put Me In Coach: The Signs of a good Sports Coach. De Lench is the only sports parenting expert out here that gets the whole big picture. She is also the editor of MomsTeam which is an aonline huge resource for parents.

on 11/19/2007 Step 4 is not correct - I have written lesson plans but I rarely bring them to the field; they tend to get stolen, wet, or lost. I write them out and I have them memorized. They key is to see a progression in the session from simple to comlpex, working on a theme, bringing it into a game. That is a mark of a good coach.
