What Does It Take To Educate The Athletes That You Serve?

What Does It Take To Educate/Coach The Students/Athletes That You Serve?

If we want to teach our kids, all of our kids, then we have to be able to answer that question.

To answer it, we have to know something about them. We have to know how they learn, what they want to learn, what matters to them, and what their needs are.

We can't assume that we know. We have to be active in getting to know them.

And we can't pass that responsibility on to anybody else. We can't just pass it on to another coach or to someone who looks like them. We can and need to use others to help and as resources, but if we want to meet the needs of all of our kids, we have to be willing to grow as teachers and build real connections and relationships with our kids.

The best teachers don't expect students to learn they way they teach. The best teachers teach the way that children learn.

Think about how you build relationships with your students and how those connections help you teach them in a way that they can and want to learn.

Also think about some kids that you haven't been able to reach and how you can do a better job of teaching them in a way that they can and want to learn.
