Section 1: COACHING PHILOSOPHY

Your coaching philosophy is the de facto set of core values, beliefs, and principles that will guide your approach to coaching. It acts as a guiding framework for decision-making, athlete interaction, and program management, and includes defining the coach’s purpose, objectives, and how they will help clients develop and achieve success. Developing a biblically rooted philosophy involves clarifying your core values, defining your objectives, and being authentic to the Bible and enhanced by your own belief and experiences playing the game.
