Assistant Coaches

Assistant coaches can be a vital part of your program or they can be glorified cheerleaders and yes just having some positive energy around and someone who is always on the players' side is beneficial, but most assistant coaches want and are capable of more.  They are making a significant investment with their time and love the game too.

Assistants can't be shy about sharing ideas and can't be discouraged when their ideas aren't used. Head coaches can help the process by asking for input on a regular basis.  You will be amazed at some of their ideas and if one turns out to be useful then it was worth the investment.
