Here’s a video a friend of mine sent me today.
As a coach myself who’s been coaching over 17 years, played competitively etc, I have to completely agree with this topic, especially coach beside different coaches on two continents, several different countries, it’s all the same.
Like it was stated in the video, there are lot of good coaches out there, however the majority are bad and just looking for a paycheck and it’s the same type of lesson, same drills week in and week out. I’ve seen coaches do the same drills with 4 different players, 4 different lessons that day. It’s like it was the theme of the day for everyone. Almost as if they saw a new drill on YouTube and implemented it that day, all day.
Another topic I’d love to see covered by those guys is coaches claiming they have the same energy and willingness to coach all 9 or 10 straight hours they’re on court that day. Not happening.
