When it comes to younger age groups, it's best to give teams a varity of competition levels, to challenge them, give them confidence, and to measure their skill set. Too many loses (or too many wins) can be detrimental. 📺: youtu.be/Mu_bsJdMfac 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast

Sometimes it seems like the grass is greener in the other side, but before making a move, don’t forget to examine if where you’re at is meeting your initial expectations. 📺: youtu.be/HcooLtUSJNs 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast

There's a difference between words of encouragement and joysticking your athlete when on the sidelines. While both are done with good intentions, sometimes it can actually make the game harder for kids. 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast 📺: youtu.be/BlyiG3lVetY

As a club, best practices for coaches is setting them up for success. Give part-time coaches tools & session plans. Allow full-time coaches to collaborate with each other. Don't saddle them with unnecessary stress/tasks. 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast 📺: youtu.be/BlyiG3lVetY
