For anyone who has taken the course and test, what information would you add? subtract? How would you change the course to make it more informational or beneficial to you the coach?
Any and all ideas are helpful and much appreciated. If you don't want to post here, please feel free to email me: info@learntocoachbasketball.com
Thank you.

Anyone?
Beyond the certification content, which articles have been the most helpful in terms of better understanding coaching in general, not just coaching basketball?

i think the discussions about about changing the culture of youth sports are beneficial. No one – parents, organizers, or coaches – focus on the children playing basketball and the purpose of youth sports in society. Instead of developing the children (socially, physically, etc) society only focuses on winning and I don't see it changing anytime soon. The only measure of success for a youth coach is if he wins. The sad thing is that most coaches don't have any experience either or know the real reason to coach. I coach against coaches who spend their one hour a week practice teaching 8,9,10,11…year olds how to run plays and then yell at them when it doesn't work in the game. I wish there was a way to advocate more for training but the league where I coach has a hard enough time just finding someone to stand on the sidelines.

Thank you for the comments. Here are some more more:

As for change, I wrote about it previously:
http://www.associatedcontent.c…..html?cat=4
Organizations need to value coaching. I see advertisements for the Junior Jazz that say it has 65,000 kids participating every year. Do they have a Director of Coaching to nurture, educate and assist the 6,000 some coaches needed to coach 65,000 kids? I don't know because they do not respond to my inquiries. They could charge $1 more per player and pay a Director of Coaching a similar salary to a D1 Assistant Coach or a Junior College Head Coach. Is it worth it? What else could improve the league more than someone overseeing all the coaches?

I am going to use this video to kick off a discussion of what it means to coach and what skills are necessary to coach in my undergraduate class.

I always like to see something about time management but I am sure that is in the practice section. Looks good to me, is this only open to people taking your undergraduate course?

Yes, but it looks remarkably similar to the YBCA curriculum. In fact, by the end of the summer, it probably will be the YBCA Level 1 clinic. Better slides, more citations and some additional information. But it's pretty close. The added information is generally from articles that appear on this site, such as the recent fear of failure article and the articles on the Sampling Period and a couple others. There are maybe 5-8 total slides that have information not from this site in some capacity.
