The ability to evaluate current progress and alter the "workouts" accordingly is one factor. |

A good coach leads by example , employs exemplary sportsmanship and doesn't turn his head when problems arise. He is a mentor . He/she is involved in both the academic and athletic pursuit of each player.
The coach needs to realize that there will be a great sacrifice of time away from family but has the ability to put everything in perspective.
A good coach has the mastery of skills , technique , organization , psychology and delegates authority and expertise to his/her assistants.
He/she should be a model citizen and follow all rules stipulated by the school board and community.

A good coach looks at professional development as a means to improve themselves. being a life-long learner allows yourself to stretch yourself further than you may think.
A good coach knows his stuff. He or she is able to employ a variety of strategies to fit the teams strengths. A good coach does not try to force a system on the players. Looking at the strengths of the team and adapting the schemes will be beneficial |

In my opinion, there are coaches and there are screamers. Screamers tend to be hated, coaches tend to be loved. A good coach is not only a leader on the field or court, but off the field as well. A good coach is someone who is there for all of their kids not just the stars of the team. A good caoch listens and shows respect to their athletes regardless of skill ability. Lastly, a good coach has fun and teached the importance of the game or skill being preformed not the importance of winning or losing |

I have had just about every form of "coach" there is and the coaches that were the best coaches, the ones that deserved to be coaches built us up. They supported my teammates and I. They would understand that we're not perfect and that we all make mistakes. They would not punish us for losing a game, but nor would they just look past it, we would go over the game, discuss how we can better our performances and strive to be better. My best coaches taught my teammates and I integrity, class, and to always have a winning additude whether we won or not. |

I took a class "psychology of coaching" our book had a chapter on coaching for character. Taking interest in athlete's behavior (social/ psychological) and helping to shape them into respectable people. I think some kids these days don't have people that coach their character. It's an opportunity for us to help an athlete develop into a mature, responsible, respectable, and respectful member of society. A good coach steps up to this challenge when an athlete needs it. |

A good coach needs to have a grasp on the game and all facets that go along with the sport. The coach should be positive, but also stern with the players. I agree with sometimes raising the voice to get a point across, but not singling out a player. The coach should know how to get the team going before each game, because setting the tone in the beginning of a game is so important. Lastly, a good coach knows how to relate and talk to the players. |

I think a good coach has a good relationship with his team but also knows where to draw the line between friend and coach. They must have good discipline tactics and team rules. And of course they must have exceptional knowledge of what they are coaching. And no matter how well they know the sport they continue to research it even if it means looking at a book like Football for Dummies whatever it takes. |

A good coach is a coach that is able to communicate with his players and they can respect him for the way he coaches. A good coach doesn't have to yell or scream at his players he needs to just have good communication with them so he can give and take. A good coach should also lead and teach his team in a way that is easily understood and his team enjoys it. |

A good coach is someone who gains the respect of all of his or her athletes. I also believe that to be a good coach you need to know how to challenge your athletes to improve. Last i think to be considered a good coach you need to start or continue winning. |

In my opionion a good coach is one who is very knowledgeable in the sport or event. A coach must have respect for his or her athletes, while still developing the respect that the athletes have on the coach. A good coach is one who can yell when need be in order to keep his athletes motivated, but not enough to force athletes away. A good coach should also be energetic and emotional according to the play/action in the game/event. Most importantly, the coach must have great communication with the athlete in terms of constructive criticism and encouragement. |

In my eyes, I feel a good coach must have three great traits, the last being the most important. First, must have a great knowledge of the game so his/her players believe in your decsion making. Second, always be prepared. If you're not prepared how do you think your players will feel? And lastly, be a "player's coach." Today more and good players and quitting because the coach and them disagree. Know your players and what areas to touch on and which to stay away from, especially in front of the team. This does not mean do not instill discpline though! |

A good coach is knowing how to get the best out of your players, and being able to get your players to do what you want them to do on the court. All the good coaches are able to get their teams to play hard, play smart, and be discipline. It is very important that you get your players to do these traits. Sometimes it gets difficult because all the players have different personalities’ and you have to how to convey your message and get a cross your point to each individual differently. |

A good coach is someone who teaches the game to the players but also teaches them about lifeskills. A coach will have to teach them about playing as a team, trusting each other, commuication skills, and respect. Some coaches tend to try and be friends with their players first and then try and be a coach second. As a coach I feel you don't want your players to be asking themselves, "What if" questions after the season. Coaches should praise the players but also offer constructive critistism. A coach who teaches the players how to play the game with pride, respect, and the proper fundamentals is a successful coach regardless of the wins and losses. |

I feel a good coach possess compasion for the sport he/she is coaching. Also, a good coach expresses how to win with compassion and respect and how to lose with dignity and pride. A good coach knows how to communicate with his/her athelets, and knows how to listen to them whether it is an on the field/court problem, or an of the field/court problem. |
