Throughout my high school basketball career I experienced several different coaches. Every new coach brought a different approach to coaching. The varying techniques of coaching brought about different attitudes and expectations during practices and games. I found that during practice, coaches had either the nice-guy or the drill sergeant approach. They also had different methods of coaching during and after the games.         Practices are very important to basketball. If you practice hard and take it …showed first 75 words of 824 total…

…showed last 75 words of 824 total…is always negative then the player will not be having fun. This discourages the player and could possibly lead to them quitting. You do have to correct players when they do something wrong or you would not be doing your job as a coach, but it can be done in a nice way. I only had one coach that was out there to have fun and that is the basketball season I enjoyed the most.
