First let us thank you for volunteering to coach the kids of the BHBL.
We have been asked by some of you to provide Positive Coaching guidance for coaching strategies relating to an uncompetitive game situation.
Our experience has been that no one, coaches, players, parents, officials like a one sided game. The reality is that for various reasons, game scores can become lopsided. It will be obvious early in the game if you are coaching in a lopsided game on the scoreboard. Recognize this and be a Double Goal Coach that Honors The Game and prepares his/her players to win and teaches life lessons through sports.
The BHBL does not allow WAAC (Win At All Costs) Coaches to Coach.
We strongly recommend that no matter which side of a lopsided game you are a part of that you talk with your team parents about the BHBL philosophy. We want all of our parents to be Second Goal Parents who leave the scoreboard to the coaches and athletes and focus on the life lessons their children take away from the BHBL experience.
Our BHBL parents are their kids’ biggest fans. We want all of our parents to support their kid’s effort and always believe in them no matter how they perform on the court. Parental support at all times, regardless of the scoreboard will always encourage their children to perform well.
First and foremost, always remember to HAVE FUN AND HONOR THE GAME!
