Help your best player to become your team's hardest worker. Less-talented players will embrace that work ethic in their efforts to improve. You may find by season's end that you have a new best player.

Help your youth sports peers by answering this week's scenario question:
Your son is the fastest player on the team and wants to return kickoffs. For some reason, the coach is reluctant to use him in that role.

Weekly Coach Tip
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Ask your players' parents what type of learning environment is best for their children. You might be able to nip some behavioral problems in the bud.
A preseason meeting with the parents may be the perfect place to ask.

If you feel you need to approach your child's coach to talk about playing time, think it through ahead of time. Asking what your child can do to earn more playing time is one good approach.

 Create special roles for your bench players, especially if you coach in an environment where playing time is not equal. Communicate with these players frequently so they are ready to contribute when they enter the game.
One way bench players can contribute during games is to help players on the field "brush off" mistakes. Watch a youth softball team "Brush It Off!"

Championing and Celebrating Responsibility in Youth Sports |
|
| Each week, the experts from Positive Coaching Alliance provide a helpful tip for Responsible Sport Coaches. |
| Responsible Sports Coach Tip |
Ask your athletes to visualize what will happen in the game, so they can become comfortable with performing in a "clutch" situation before ever taking the field. Either as a team or individually, have them close their eyes and guide them through this visualization right before your next competition.
Additional tips and advice, including downloadable one-pagers you can take to practice are available at ResponsibleSports.com.
