Coach Coale said that the #1 question she was asked was did she transition from high school coaching to college coaching:
"There is no secret. Do the best job that you do no matter where you are. Be in the right place at the right time. Coach kids like they are pros. Everything else will take care of itself. If you do the right things consistently, people will find you."
Here is a list of things that Coach Coale was said in starting a program:
Practice planning is most important.
Teaching is the most important part of developing your team. How do you go about
teaching your kids every day?
Taking notes is the single most important thing that you can do.
Keep every kid engaged at all times.
Every drill that you do must have a purpose.
Spend twice as long preparing as you do teaching.
Practices should be designed to be tougher than games.
Use competition drills as much as you can. There should be a winner and a loser.
Use echo yells when practicing.
Five things that Coach Coale said they do everyday in practice:
Fundamentals (Passing, Shooting, Catching, Dribbling)
Defensive Transition
Offensive Spacing and Timing
4/4 and 5/5
Rebounding
Teaching is still an opportunity to learn. Career learners such as yourself are able to do great things and make the impact that you do! This was a very helpful article to read as a coach. It reinforces what I emphasize while adding knowledge as well. Thank you!
