What do you want to accomplish as a coach and how you are going to achieve it? 2) Make a commitment. Once you have defined your goal, make time and really commitment to being a coach. Student-athletes need coaches and want to be coached. 3) Study the game. Be educated on what it takes to be successful. Learn how to teach a skill and know how to implement the appropriate game plan.
