A detailed Summary of coaching

Most people think that watching seven and eight year olds play basketball is boring, but it is one of the most exciting games to watch. I would know because I am a coach at the Boy's and Girl's club of Conway. It has been one of the best experiences of my life. Going to the games is also the highlight of my week. I get to teach the kids all about basketball, and this is hard since they do not know anything about the game of basketball. Coaching is something that I have always thought would be very enjoyable.

I have been coached all of my life starting in third grade. I do not remember who my coach was, but I can remember playing. Basketball is one of the best things that one can do when they are young. Basketball is something that I will remember for the rest of my life. It taught me teamwork, how to work with other people, and most of all it taught me how to have a good time without winning. I met many people through playing basketball

when I was little, and I made many good friends with whom I grew up. The first time that I ever played I did not really understand the idea of basketball, but I tried as hard as anyone else on the team. I always looked forward to playing, and it did not matter if

Nevertheless, they still do not understand that they cannot stop then start dribbling again. Getting them to pay attention is very hard. All of them want to be "Michael Jordan,"but they do not understand that it is the team that wins games not the individual. This is why I am there to teach them. I am trying to teach them a zone defense right now. My kids can do it really well in practice, but when it comes to staying in the right

positions in the game they do not do it vary well. All of the

kids want to go and guard the person with the ball. So it is like five on one. They stay in their positions good at first, but when the second quarter roles around they are all out of their spots. Then I tell them to stay in their areas. They do it for a few seconds, and then the kids are out of their positions again. Teaching a kid all the parts of basketball in thirty minutes a week is hard, but I have a lot of fun trying and the kids seem to enjoy it to. This is the only reason that I am coaching.
