I’ve coached soccer and a season of basketball just because no one was volunteering. I don’t think I was good at it as I didn’t play those sports beyond playing in school. But in basketball there was one girl who had never dribbled a ball before and I gave her little drills to do during the week. You could tell she practiced each week and I made sure to tell her how noticeable it was and pointing out the things she was doing now that she couldn’t the following week. By the end of the season she was playing fine, able to make it down the court and make shots. At the end we went through all the kids and told them what the improved most on, she was the most improved all around and she was so proud when I announced it. Her parents loved me cause she was going to sign up for the next season and she was taking the drills I gave her so seriously. Seeing her confidence explode upwards during that season felt pretty good, I can see why people enjoy coaching kids, even with all the headaches from the other shithead kids and parents.
