Direct the teaching at the individual or individuals. Coaches must let players know that they care about them on and off the field. We must lead by example. Coaches must be good role models for players. Be honest in evaluations to earn respect and loyalty from the players in your position group a great coach is a great teacher who cares we must be great coaches, what we see as coaches on film because of how you have coached the players. You are coaching will be evaluated by the player's performance. Keep things simple. Do not over coach and find the best way to teach the fundamentals. The goal must be that each player Masters the fundamentals at his position so that muscle memory can take place, and the players can just reacting games and not think.
