Assistant coaches Role?

[default]

my explanation to my team is this... (we have 4 coaches).... (plus parents that coach at home so you do the count), but as far as coaches that take "the background check" and wear the cool shirts, we (us 4) are all worth 25 cents a piece which all add up to a dollar. We all spend equally so approach us as equals (and I'm not liberal so don't go there). So, if you ask me a question or coaches 2, 3, or 4... you should get the same answer or close to it and we are also stopping the "I'll ask one then the other then the other till I get the answer I like". That means that the coaching staff has to prepare and plan for games, practices, methodologies, etc. If we can't get to the same page before a practice or game, how can we teach and have clear cohesive messages to them? This approach has been very successful for us and where we want to play. We can argue a point or situation and know that it's not personal. This is huge. So I looked for and even at times developed this "theory" and it's working for us. Now, some may say WTH, but the girls listen and work really hard towards a common communication system and goals and we have 4 independent thinkers and personalities so it's a good mix. Some just get along better with other coaches which is totally natural and fits into this quite well. So, the young ladies know that they can approach us all and it's ok that the "head coach" doesn't handle every single thing. This is all assuming the assistants can motivate, drive, teach, coach, listen, teach again, listen some more, challenge all involved, and be knowledgeable and yearning to gain more knowledge. My 2 cents of my remaining 23...

Awwhhhh...... it'll be ok, someday after spending millions and millions theyll win the series again!....lol.. hey I personally like Jeter, one of the best and classiest ball players there is. But i could never root for the Yanks, to each his own i guess.

I like to think i have one of the best coaches working with me, I call him assistant in name only, his opinion is 50 percent of any decision we make on the field.

ummmmmm, I would probably change his opinion to 49%......:lmao:

PLEASE, Do not say you are a Boston fan. The NY Yankees are the Marines of Baseball!
I bet if you had tickets to a Yankees game you would go

I wouldnt say the Marines of baseball. Marines start from scratch and build. The yankees are like mercenaries, they go buy the talent and put them together to win championships. Dont you think its funny that the league uses AAA ball for farm teams and the yankees use the league as its farm team.

Good points, lets get back on topic and not ruin this thread talking about the yankees.

I would prefer the decision making to go down also. There are times I feel like I took him to raise to begin with. Im going to start claiming him on my taxes. ;&

I think he meant the Mariners of the AL East, or that's what us Tiger fans call them.

My last post off subject on this.... I'm not a fan of any mlb team. They're all overpaid premadonnas who sit out for two months over a hang nail. I miss baseball when it was a game not a buisness.... anyway love the 49% comment! Totally think a head coach should be the leader or general if you will, with his "marines" getting his back taking the grunts into war.

You'd lose that bet ACEgrc...... just not for me anymore. I'd rather watch college mens baseball and definitely college women's softball instead.
