Thinking of getting into coaching. The more I think about it the more I want to do it. Ive played competitive footy, cricket all my life and now tennis, and have seen the best and worst of the coaching profession in amatuer circles (well, probably weighted towards the worst tbh...).
I have heaps of ideas on how I want to go about it - Im going to have a 'game-based' ethos where instead of running thorugh repetitive closed drills all the time, its going to replicate real gameplay. Limiting closed skills like the pointless kick to kick for specifc skill development only and adding situational/defensive pressure as much as possible, or getting rid of the stock standard mindless bowl/bat net sessions and instead replicating match situations....sort of along these lines, limiting waiting time (no standing around) and a big focus on positive reinforcement. Basically doing everything different to the worst things Ive experienced as a player over my time.
Just wondering where coaches out there started? Level 1 or II coaching certificate, then starting with juniors? If anyone has any experiences or suggestions, cheers.
