Very helpful I’ve took a one size fits all approach I’ve had some kids I felt were uncoachable zero effort maybe it was me not adapting to the children new focus thank you
Great advice, and very helpful to keep in mind that as a coach you're not merely trying to get your team to win or even just produce better athletes, but acting as a mentor for the kids' overall development - and building a relationship with them through the intentional dialogue that you discussed can be the basis for overcoming obstacles that make it difficult to coach them. This can lead to more effective development of those kids as individuals/athletes and better cohesion as an overall team. Thanks Coach Hart!
Not every player wants to learn or get better. There are some who are there because their parents have forced them to be and they may not even be interested in playing. This is fine for trying a new sport, but if it's clear the kid doesn't enjoy it and you still force them to be there, you're typically going to end up with an uncoachable kid. Because they don't care about the sport and don't really want to be there anyway. So no not every kid is coachable.
