ltrvwrm twang5 Minor sports can be years Its during these formative years that the role of the coach is never more important How can one emphasize the importance of proper coaching at say the atom or novice level of competition Its at this level that most players are first introduced to competitive sports structure How they are introduced is the responsibility of the coach They can learn the win at all cost method or be taught that the pleasure of playing is far superior to that of winning At the younger levels of competition the coach is molder of patterns He is combination teacher and motivator The coach has to be aware of the damage rejection can do by benching players or the simple but lasting hurt of ver bally manhandling player for making mistake Ann Johnstone of Berczy Street felt strongly enough about the way the Barrie Minor Lacrosse Association BMLA especially the coach of one team was running its show that she wrote letter to The Examiner share the concern of many with the WIN WIN WIN at titude of many parents and minor sports officials Mr Johnstone Kis for KING lis for Incentive people day JIM PRICE KIDS formula Need we say more GLANCING AROLNI brief story about thee forma tion of TBall league for young players appears elsewhere on this page It will need somehtIp to get off the ground Here is perfect chance to provide youngsteis with base to learn the basic fundamentals of the game Barrie Indoor Tennis Club has yearend major tournament set for Sun rner His formula is for KIDS By RANDY MCDONALD Examiner Sports Editor great for kids or they can be disaster in as far as developing unhealthy attitudes in later wro te Surely our children deserve to develop in an atmosphere where they are encouraged to do their best and to enjoy the game because games are fun not because they beat someone else she added Mrs Johnston included copy of letter sent to the parents of the Yanch lleating tykes by coach Jim Price which is not only refreshing but one of the healthiest ap proaches to coaching team of young easily influenced players we have come across in long time Price has formula He calls it the KIDS formula and it outlines his approach to sports Here is one mans approach to coaching team in minor sports organization At the conclusion of this sports program each and every one of the kids could feel like king Or they could feel ter ribly let down Too many kids today are moving away from sports altogether Would they do this if they enjoyed the pro gram Not every kid can score 50 goals in season but every kid has capacity for enjoyment wirtes Price Where does it come from Fifty cents goal Do it or else believe in the theory that encouragement creates in centive criticism creates resentment Some of the ways encourage my players are Players decide such things as whether or not they want captain they also pick him To encourage the players to come to practice on time would tell the kids story If they want to hear the story they must come on time Dis for DONT FORGET Remember when we were kids Dont forget how badly you felt when you overheard some unkind comment on your performance you knew you were when trying Dont forget the mixed feel ing you had when you were told that the ref was to be respected then say your own parents or coach yell and scream at him Dont forget that this game is not life or death struggle is for susceptible Our kids are to do the same value that results in what you see in many of our To the same frame of mind that can call penalty good penalty To the same mentality that always asks did you win but never did you have pro sports fun would like all kids to develop physically in an at mosphere enjoyable to them If you parentS and work together on it we should be able to come up with something After all two heads are better than one Said Mrs Johnstone It was written by coach Jim Price and it reflects the attitude of many officials of the BMLA We are fortunate to have our children
