Last week I sent out an e-mail with 5 Softball Coaching Tips. If you missed it you can read it HERE.  Today, I’m going to share 5 more with you.  They’re short, their sweet, and they’ll for you to think about!

1. Develop Independent Athletes – you are there to coach, not dictate their every move.
2. Set aside time for your own person fitness and and health – obviously this is not only good for you as a coach, but good for you as a person…double the reason to make this happen!
3. Keep learning – I get e-mails from coaches who’ve coached for 30+ years who tell me they’re still learning new things on a regular basis (I think it’s so cool that they read my messages!).  Learning is for life, not just for coaching.
4. You will see it when you believe it – say that one again…you will SEE it when you BELIEVE it…don’t wait for it to happen the other way around
5. Surround yourself with the right people – success breeds success.  Mix and mingle and network with others who have already accomplished the things you want to accomplish.  Talk story with people who are already successful! (p.s. this one will help out a lot with #3)

Now what?

• Step 1: Think about those for a few minutes each.
• Step 2: Think about ways those tips can help you become a better coach.
• Step 3: Make a few positive changes.
