What can you do? 6 small things that could have BIG effects (avoid 1%): 1. Pre-Game Meeting - Share hopes and critical team info 2. Stop the game & meet if something is wrong or doesn’t feel right (coaches, referee, & adult scorekeeper if applicable). Address an issue as early as possible TOGETHER (easy thing to do to avoid major problems = stop & talk) 3. Try to give an issue 24 hours to settle so all parties can reflect on it before we react … unless the issue is a “slam-dunk-no-brainer” problem 4. Know, teach and follow our game rules (your responsibility as head coach) 5. Know that unfortunately blowouts happen (this happens at all levels) 6. Respect and Tolerate different coaching styles (loud does not equal bad)
