In your opinion, what are the qualities of an effective sports coach?
The coaches that have inspired me in the past are the ones who pointed out both strengths and our weaknesses, rather than just the pitfalls. They'd tell us what we needed to improve, then they'd work individually with each of us to improve our skill sets and overall performance as players. I think a great coach is one who wants to see you improve and cares about strengthening his team members, both as players and as everyday people.
