​​​​​​​"It takes 20 years to become an overnight success. Successful coaches have by a combination of experience, skill, education and practice, developed ways and means of getting the best out of themselves and their athletes".

• Plan
• Develop communication skills and never stop trying to improve on them
• Be open-minded. Never say, never
• Learn from your mistakes
• Believe in your athletes - they believe in you
• Develop a network and support structure
• Have fun. Life is short
• Give an ounce of information and a ton of practice
• Be flexible in your methods and approach
• Try not to over-coach. You don't need to talk all the time
