Advice to Rookie Coaches Podcast Series: Sport-Specific Coaching Differences?
At TASL, we are interviewing and asking young veteran coaches: What advice do you have to give to rookie coaches?
So far, we have talked with two young veterans: Coach Jamie Fisher Wilhite and Coach Andrea Bernardini. Each currently coaches different sports: Wilhite coaches lacrosse and soccer. Bernardini coaches basketball.
While it is not surprising that some of their advice to rookies is similar, based as it is on skill levels and program type, we thought that it would be interesting to ask our listeners whether there is also sport-specific advice that coaches should be thinking about.
Is basketball coaching different than coaching soccer in any relevant way, other than that they have different rules?
Do traditions matter for coaching a specific sport?
A sport's history? Its culture?
What have you found in your own sport-specific coaching experience?
