How To Coach Others For Success

by Tradepla

Have you ever been a coach to a neighborhood team? I know how it
feels the first time I've coached a team of seven-year-old soccer
kids and how much they can really test my patience, not to
mention sanity as they run around kicking the ball like ants to a
huge, white crumb. It feels strange at first, having to be stared
at by a bunch of kids who they will know that I'm not the one in
the field. Sounds wrong in a sense, right? But what is the dead
about coaching?

Coaching is all about being a, well, 'coach' in the corporate
world of handlers, front-liners and even a couple of benchwarmers
biding their time to be given a chance to perform. I know how
that feels when I go back to my regular day job. Some players are
just MVP material, and some of them are just to support the MVP's
so why bother sticking around? It sounds ironic when they say
'there is no I in team', but even the underachievers can be sore
losers as well.

These are steps that can be done within the day, and no matter
what, it takes determination to be a coach.

1. There is a WHOLE lot of talk these days about Corporate Team
Building. There are many, many options: vacation packages, rope
courses, on-going office games, ice-breakers, etc. Management can
also purchase videos, books, and seminar packages to assist them
in building up their organization into a team worthy of
belonging. A little later I will give you some ideas of where you
can go for information on these team-building tools.

2. The truth about motivation is waiting to be grasped! It is
ripe and ready for you to put into action today. Don't settle for
mind-numbing gibberish. Get practical in 3 small ways to begin
looking forward to your alarm clock sounding off each morning
before you huddle with the team.

3. Experience is the best thing despite of what course you
graduated in. There is something about being a people person who
knows how to stir the energetic side of one individual, and more
so when you mix it up with an entire team.

4. To question a person by his or her performance is sometimes
required, but never question their knowledge or their
intelligence. Sadly, I have seen a few mistakes from past coaches
who never seem to understand what a player has to go through to
get the job right. It will lead to further aggravation and maybe
even hostility. If you want the job done right, then go do it
yourself. You'll see how it is to be at the receiving end and it
will help your set a much better course for improvement.

5. Sending a player to the bench is probably the worse
experience a coach has to go through, especially if your player
is the top performer. In dealing with this kind of person, see to
it that he spills his guts voluntarily. Egotism in a performer
tends to make them lose their focus on even the smallest
mistakes, then you can catch him or her red handed. Be firm, but
understanding about it.

6. Don't allow your position to blind you from what you are
supposed to do. Even coaches are human enough to think that they
are far more superior, but only by rank. Even if you have been in
their shoes when you were their age, it's better to dole out a
piece of wisdom in order for them to realize that this will be
for their own benefit.

7. Lastly, you should learn to trust yourself and your team.
Decisions and performance are primarily your goals, and there are
many of them to see if they could perform the task much more
efficiently. So before you think about sending one member to the
bench, have a good chat with him or her and see if they have any
problems. If it's too personal, then just encourage them to do
their best and it also helps to give them a good, encouraging
slap on the back.

I guess there's all there is to it. Being a corporate drone
myself, I know how important it is for a company to be
successful, and we're all part of that success. Coaches are there
not to make your work a little difficult just because you have
either an attitude problem or not much a performer, but they're
the guides who will help you perform as hard as you can possibly
can. You'll do them proud one of these days, as well as you.
