What Coaches Want

This week is all about coaches’ insight for players. Next week we’ll discuss what coaches should do, but this week is to help players. In this blog post we’ll discuss five things coaches want in players. These five traits are universal and can be applied to all athletes across the sports spectrum. We’ll count them down from five to one. 5. Coaches want players who know and accept their role on the team. Every good team needs quality role players. It’s not possible for everyone to have the lead role, but it is possible for everyone to play an important role. Some players will get the majority of minutes and even the headlines, but team success cannot happen unless everyone accepts their role. Players should never try to undercut or bad mouth teammates in order to improve playing time. Coaches want players who are genuinely happy for the team’s and their teammates’ success. Players should not mope, display poor body language, or bad mouth any member of the team. If the player is experiencing a problem or frustration, they should seek a one-on-one meeting with the coach.
