Striving To Become A Better Leader As A Sports Coach Being a leader as a coach means finding and developing a variety of skills. Each coach has their own personality and will deal with a variety of personalities while managing their team. That being said, there are some strategies and lessons to be learned which are universal in creating a quality team atmosphere, and a situation that allows both the athletes and coach to grow their skills together as a cohesive unit. The following list is part of the Hartman Academy’s ongoing program to help create and better educate sports coaches as leaders. 1. Find Your Voice As A Leader: In order to effectively lead, there has to be a consistent message and the way it is delivered has to remain consistent as well. A leader will have a way to deliver their message in a way heard by all. 2. Creating A Pace: When leading and coaching, your team members need to be able to keep up. You also need to move things quickly enough so that some of your team doesn’t get stuck waiting around. Create practices and plans that allow for everyone to work and learn at an even pace. 3. Remaining Steady: A coach and leader may face conflict amongst their team members or obstacles during their time. Keeping players and other coaches on a distinct path forward despite these obstacles is critical to success. 4. Interacting: There are a large variety of personalities that coaches and leaders will have to deal with over the course of their seasons and being able to have interactions as a group and as individuals will be crucial. A coach must be able to pivot with the different personalities in order to keep lines of communication open. 5. Being Able To Multitask: A lot happens during the course of a game, practice, or season. A coach and team leader will be in charge of managing several things at once. Some players may be injured, a strategy in-game may be failing, the offense and defense of your team may both being falling short of their goals. A coach will have to handle all of these situations likely simultaneously. If a coach is overwhelmed they will need strong assistant coaches to fill specific needs. - continued on the following page - AAU Ice Hockey Page 4 February 1, 2021 Season 12 - Edition 4 AAU Coaching Page Written by : Mike Hartman AAU Ice Hockey - On-Ice and Off-Ice Director Mike brings his experience of 17-years as a Professional hockey player (including with the Buffalo Sabres, Winnipeg Jets, Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Rangers), as a 1994 Stanley Cup Champion and of course as a youth player to now donate his time for the betterment of AAU youth hockey and coaching. https://www.hartman.academy/ 12 Strategies For Leaders & Coaches In Sports! (continued) 6. Time Management: A coach has to manage their energy not their time. Time is limited in which teams can practice and play. It can be difficult to make every second count, but a coach has to keep their team and players active. A high energy practice helps better simulate game action and keeps the players engaged in the game plan you are implementing and the skills you are trying to teach. 7. Preparation: Being prepared for everything is impossible. What a good coach can be prepared for are the average issues that occur. A practice without a goalie for a soccer, ice hockey, or field hockey coach. Always having enough footballs to go around, or having a few extra bats and gloves for baseball or softball practice. Having a plan for practice and games helps them go smoothly, but a coach’s prep goes beyond just preparing to play. 8. Establish Guiding Principles: A team defers to a coach as the defacto leader. As that first leader, it is up to them to establish sets of rules and principles for behavior. From pre-game procedures such as arrival time, pre-game warm-ups, and dress code to establishing practice rhythms, travel plans for team trips, and establishing relationships with parents. A coach also has the obligation to create the moral standards for their players to uphold, and what punishments they face if they do not. 9. Continuing Knowledge and Discovery: A good coach can not rest on the laurels of success. What works in one season may not work the next.

Last year, the American Academy of Pediatrics found that highly competitive athletes are three times more likely to suffer from cardiac arrest. However, according to The Portland Clinic’s Ralph A. Yates, D.O., annual exams are a key way athletes can take the initiative to keep their hearts healthy. “Physical exams that thoroughly cover family history are crucial for athletes working in a highly competitive environment,” shares Dr. Yates. “Ignoring the symptoms of a heart condition, such as chest discomfort and shortness of breath, could result in cardiac arrest. Without an exam, these signs could easily be dismissed as something less severe than a heart condition.” High performance teams, such as the Portland Winterhawks, understand the vital role that cardiac exams play. Dr. Yates and The Portland Clinic have acted as the team physicians for the Winterhawks for the last four years, administering physical exams each year to the players, who are between 16 and 20 years old. “Our team’s health is extremely important to us,” shares the Portland Winterhawks’ athletic trainer, Rich Campbell. “When we learned that competitive athletes are three times more likely to suffer from cardiac arrest, we knew we needed to stress the importance of these exams.” It is important to discuss family history with your primary care physician during the exam, as cardiac health is linked with genetic disorders and conditions.
