I'm lucky I have an awesome assistant coach. He's a parent and when I asked him last year to help me I went with my gut. He played Men's fastpitch and coached high school girls basketball. I didn't know that when I asked him, when he'd help at practice he stood out, the way he interacted with the girls and his support of what I was doing. Also, it helped that although his DD was the youngest kid on the team her approach to practice, her teammates and to me was and is awesome. I figured she got that from somebody. I later found out my asst. coaches dad was a 30 year football coach. So my assistant coach understands a teams dynamic.
I've read or heard over the last few months that not all assistant coaches are created equal lol.
What traits do you look for in an assistant coach? For me character is really important, when the inevitable happens and the team has an off tournament are they with you finding a solution or are they separating themselves from the coaching staff and joining the few parents every team seems to have and griping about the line up or why who is playing where?
