  Coaching Creed
  

• Be a resource person able to assist the athlete to develop his/her athletic potential and self-dependency.




• Recognize individual differences in athletes and always think of the athlete's long-term best interests.

  
  



• Aim for excellence based upon realistic goals and the athlete's growth and development.




• Lead by example. Teach and practise co-operation, self-discipline, respect for officials and opponents and proper attitudes in language, dress and deportment.
  




• Make sport challenging and fun. Skills and techniques need not be learned painfully.
  




• Be honest and consistent with athletes. They appreciate knowing where they stand.
  




• Be prepared to interact with the media, league officials and parents. They too have important roles to play in sport.
  




• Coaching involves training by responsible people who are flexible and willing to continually learn and develop.
  




• Physical fitness should be a lifelong goal for all Canadians. Encourage athletes to be fit all year, every year and not just for the season.
