Three Coaching Styles
Command Style (the dictator)
Coach makes all decisions
Athletes listen, absorb, and comply
An example of a command coach is Bobby Knight
Submissive Style (the baby-sitter)
Coaches provide minimal instruction and guidance
Coaches lack competence, are lazy, or are misinformed about coaching
Cooperative Style (the teacher)
Coaches share decision making with athletes
The challenge of this style is balancing when to direct athletes and when to let them direct themselves
An example of a cooperative coach is Phil Jackson
Coaching Styles Evaluated
Dismiss the Submissive Style
Command Style is not compatible with Athletes First, Winning Second; it may stifle motivation and development objectives and alienate athletes
Cooperative Style provides structure and rules and allows athletes to set their own goals and strive for them
Cooperative Style coaching is more complex and requires ore skill
