All first time coaches should use this as a basis for their coaching philosophies.
It is also a great reminder for experienced coaches to get back to their roots. It's easy to think you have to coach to certain needs or situations, but by keeping these concepts at the forefront of your coaching style should make for smoother transitions from year to year.
