Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis is not intended as a slight on D.C. Bc I don't know him and my kids have never played for him, but I'm curious as to what people think are the best attributes of a coach. Having had two kids come through premier, one in college now and the other looking, we have been fortunate to have coaches the kids enjoyed. All very different but good in their own ways. Based solely on our experiences, I'd have to say that coaching is in no particular order, about:
Recruiting
Teaching technique and understanding tactics
Putting players in the right places to succeed
Making adjustments in a game
Getting players to play hard for you
Each of my kids coaches were strong in certain areas. Some ran mediocre practices but the kids liked them and would run through walls for them. One assembled the best teams. One ran some great practices. They were interesting and diverse. But ironically enough, he was the coach who had the worst record even though I enjoyed watching the sessions and my daughter enjoyed participating in them. At least in our experience, I would say the best coaches were the best recruiters who were effective in games. They were the most successful, which tells me that coaching is more complicated than people think. Assembling talent isn't enough if you don't have a clue. Running a good session isn't enough if you don't have the talent or if the kids don't play hard for you. Or if you don't put them in a position to succeed.
What do people think are the most important attributes of a coach in order based on the list above? Add some that I'm sure I've missed.
Recruiting - DC made it clear he was not interested in being involved in the process.
Teaching technique and understanding tactics - DC may have an understanding of technique and tactics, but certainly doesn't incorporate any of it outside of practice.
Putting players in the right places to succeed - 100% inept
Making adjustments in a game - 100% inept
Getting players to play hard for you - 100% inept

I can't comprehend how DC. does not help his club players in the recruiting process. That's your job as a club coach.
