In this video, Bob Schindler asks coaches “Why are you coaching?” and outlines many of the typical answers. He gives the one compelling answer to the ultimate question that integrates all of what coaches do. The Ultimate Question is great for coaches training or for embedding on your website for coaches to watch when they can.
Explaining The Ultimate Question Further
The Why
Our motivation for coaching is the most important question we can ask ourselves.
Our motivation for coaching will determine how we coach and how we react to winning and losing
Most have never evaluated why they would consider coaching. Is it for my child? Is it because there is a need? Is it for the love of the game? Is it just for the fun of it?
