Great tips for kids' sports coaches

We all have a desire to be good children's coaches. If possible the best... That's why I've asked for good tips and advice from people with great commitment as children's sports coaches.

The answers I got were surprisingly many, and some of them I have had to think about a little extra. I want to share the answers with you, because I have faith that a little contemplation around good tips will change us – to just better children's sports coaches. Maybe even the best...

"My most important tip: Reflect on your own ambitions and motivation to be a coach."

Eirik, founder of the podcast Pappatrenerne as well as handball coach for girls 2007 and boys 2009

If you were to share one tip with me. What would you say — that can make me more conscious and make me do an even better job? For yes, I clearly want to be an even better coach!

Send your tip to atle.myrhol@learnhandball.com Maybe it will be your tip I'll share next week.

Yours sincerely Atle Myrhol
