MINI-COACHING 'Real Coaching'
From RLCM Junior Coaching Book 2
By Matt O'Hanlon ARL Level 3 Coach
Continued from Friday
Often as coaches we are under prepared for the rigours of coaching mini players.
It is easy to become obsessed with winning rather than developing the abilities of our players.
Having been a player and knowing the technique may make you qualified to coach but it does not necessarily mean that you can create a good environment for the kids in your group.
Often this is just as important in the delivery of your message.
As coaches we need to be sure that our environment is appropriate in a number of areas, developmentally we are not asking our players to do things they are not capable of.
Emotionally yelling to increase motivation may have a reverse effect. Here is a simple checklist I have modified off the internet you can use when evaluating your coaching sessions or games.
Checklist For Better Coaching
I thank players for just turning up. I focus on positives I accept kids will make mistakes. My expectations are reasonable and realistic. I remind kids not to be to hard on themselves. I remember not to take myself to seriously. I model good sportmanship.
. win without gloating . lose without complaining . treat opponents and officials with fairness generosity and courtesy
Finally after being prepared before training, having a program of skill development, and coaching in a positive manner as a mini coach you are ready for success.
Not in terms of winning or losing but in encouraging kids to play the game.
Sport is a great provider of lessons in life and for those of us reading this magazine, Rugby League is a great sport through which this can happen.
I will leave you with the following thought to apply to your coaching that I think is quite apt.
'As coaches we are able to be far more animated in our responses to negatives then in our reactions to positives.
"Turn this around and we will be successful and the mini's we are coaching will turn up ready to have fun and learn at the same time.'

Cross set to beat ban over hit-up PANTHERS prop Matthew Cross is likely to escape suspension for the controversial hit-up that forced Parramatta fullback Wade McKinnon to undergo plastic surgery for facial injuries. Back injury has Buderus under cloud NSW's State of Origin preparations were muddied further with doubts over the fitness of skipper Danny Buderus. Kimmorley gives pressure the boot PLAYING in an unusual outfit - the No.18 worn by the late-listing half nearly filled his entire jersey - Brett Kimmorley immediately assumed the gunslinger role for the Sharks yesterday. Origin absentees expose clubs' depth of talent THE bottom line, after so many stars had been stripped from both sides by injury, suspension and State of Origin commitments, was that Manly were still left with an experienced halfback and Melbourne were left with a rookie. Murray factor could be key PICKING apart the two teams in search of strengths and weaknesses has its merits - and is the cause of a whole lot of arguments - but the biggest weapon NSW have against Queensland on Wednesday night may be off the field, in the coaching department. Reluctant leader now hooked on captaincy IT JUST wouldn't fit the mould if a back injury forced Danny Buderus out of the NSW team for State of Origin I, because there may not be another player more able to carry the load on a football field. Tate set for Blues barrage BRENT Tate has dared the Blues to target him in his State of Origin return, insisting he is ready for whatever is thrown his way. Roosters patchy but Souths pathetic THE poor old Bunnies. After 11 rounds of the NRL premiership, they remain winless. Wily coach has punters in the dark PITY the punters who had decided to back the South Sydney Rabbitohs. It was a gamble to beat all gambles, but the Rabbitohs, still winless for the season, are due to collect two points at some stage and the Roosters are always sluggish coming off a bye. Stuart calls for patience Roosters coach Ricky Stuart has warned fans the club will not be at its peak for another 18 months as the rebuilding of the squad and the salary cap pressures continue. Bulldogs go the distance AFTER telling yesterday's post-match media conference at Telstra Stadium that Phil Bailey did not deserve to be sin-binned and Paul Gallen should not have been penalised for an alleged late tackle, it was pointed out to Bulldogs coach Steve Folkes that he had just defended two Cronulla players.
