I play to win. I believe every time we take the court we need to play to the best of our ability. It's okay if there are other teams that are better than we are, as long as we prepare and play to the top of our game. I agree with the Olympic motto: Faster, Higher, Farther. However, it doesn't mean faster, higher, and farther than your opponent, but faster, higher, and farther than you yourself have ever gone before. Every time we take the court we need to be playing at a higher level than the last time.
I believe every player who has come out to practice dressed and ready to learn, deserves to play in each game. Not every player serves, but every player plays. Every player needs to have a clear focus of their role on the team and an understanding of their ability to be an asset both on and off the court. It should never be about one player, but what we as a team can accomplish together.

It is
important
for
girls to
learn
what it
means to
be on a
competitive
team,
learn to
be
responsible
and
understand
the
concept
that
hard
work
pays
off.
Therefore,
I
emphasize
the
importance
of team
work and
I will
give the
girls
equal
playing
time for
the
first
two of
"best
out of 5
games"
VB game.
Another
important
concept
that I
want to
reinforce
is that
every
girl on
the team
has a
role to
play. If
that
includes
sitting
on the
bench
cheering
or being
the
captain
we will
all work
hard. I
am
committed
to do my
best in
leading
the
girls
and I
expect
them to
give me
their
best in
return. |

As
the coach,
it is my
duty to
guide,
teach, and
assist these
students to
play their
best as a
team. I will
primarily
focus on
playing
hard,
playing
smart, and
being a team
member. We
will play
hard and
play to
succeed, and
because of
that,
playing time
may not be
equal or
consistent.
Because of
the emphasis
on team
work, it is
essential
for the
student to
be at every
possible
practice.
Should a
student miss
or be late a
practice
with or
without an
excuse, it
may effect
their
playing
time. This
shouldn't be
viewed as a
punishment,
but as a
result of a
missed
opportunity
to
understand
changes or
specifics
that were
introduced
or reviewed
during
practice.
Additionally,
the starting
line-up is
never set in
stone, but
always up to
the players
who are
playing the
hardest and
smartest
team ball. I
believe that
winning will
be a
by-product
and a
standard of
how well we
are
achieving
our goals as
a team. So
while
winning is
important,
and we will
make every
effort to do
so, the
focus is on
whether or
not we are
playing
hard, smart,
and
fundamental
team ball. |

My
expectations
for my team
are very
simple: to
work hard
and have
fun. My job
as a coach
on the JV
level is to
help them to
develop
their skills
as a
basketball
player in
order to
prepare them
for the next
level.
Things that
may affect
your son’s
playing time
include how
hard he
works in
practice,
skill level,
being late
or missing
practice,
how well he
is doing in
school, and
also what
his attitude
is like
outside of
school. Your
son is a
representative
of this team
which means
they should
not be
getting into
trouble or
doing things
to give the
team a bad
name. This
also means
that the
starting
line up is
susceptible
to change
based on
these
determinations.
My goal is
that every
kid will get
to practice
and develop
his skills,
but it is
not
guaranteed
that, during
the game,
your son
will play.
This is
determined
by the game
situation
(score) and
again, this
is
determined
by your
son’s
commitment
to the set
expectations
and skill
level. One
more thing I
would like
to address
is something
in regards
to the
organization
of the team.
There are
three groups
of people
involved in
a youth
sports team:
players,
coaches, and
parents.
Players
play,
coaches
coach, and
parents
parent. The
way in which
most teams
are
successful
is when
everyone
fulfills
their role
on the team.
