Drake is making history in Iowa

Filed under: Amateur Sports, Athletes, Basketball, Coaches — Author @ 10:55 am

The Iowa travel guide lists several sports events as hot spots in the state. Of course they include the University of Iowa Hawks and the Iowa State Cyclones at the top of the list. Surprisingly the pro and semi pro teams fall under those two college teams in attendance rankings. Then they list the lower class teams such as UNI and Drake, although most of the state’s attention seems to be focused on the Drake basketball team this season. This team offers no scholarships but managed to get ranked in the top twenty in the nation. They are expected to get into the sweet sixteen this year with a good shot at the final four. No one wants to jinx their chances by picking them as the number one winner, but there have been whispers on the subject. The team was coached by Tom Davis until he retired last season. The new coach is none other than coach Davis’ son Keno. The players claim that they could barely tell the coach had changed, but apparently Keno has what it takes to make the chemistry work for the players. They will tell you that no one of them is a standout but together they are a force to be reckoned with.

As the coach of a sports team you realize the importance of not only exercising the muscles but also exercising the mind to create a teamwork mentality.  It’s critical that each player not only understands his/her position responsibilities but also the impact they have on the rest of the team.

My Experience Coaching Youth Basketball

Everyone knows that the youth today have a tendency to run wild. There are several reasons for this. For one thing, life is simply more stressful today that at earlier points in history. Another reason can be attributed to the fact that often both parents have to work. This leads to kids with a lot of time on their hands. Getting kids into sports such as Youth Basketball can really help keep them on the right track.

How to be a Good Little League Coach

Filed under: Coaches, Sports, Sports Games, Sports Law — Author @ 2:15 pm

You’ve probably seen it at the local ball field. A well-meaning, but overzealous parent-coach screaming at a team full of little kids as if the World Series was on the line. On the other field, another team is wandering around looking for directions from their coach who is trying to figure out who’s up next. What does it take to be a good Little League coach?

The number one virtue Little League coaches need to develop is patience. Children do not have the attention span or the discipline of adults and need to be constantly reminded about technique and sportsmanship. Coaches need patience to work with a large group of children who may be at different levels of expertise.

Baseball-Coaching the Youth of Tomorrow

Filed under: Baseball, Coaches, MLB, Sports — Author @ 7:52 pm

Coaching a child is a delicate practice that may affect one’s self–esteem. Parents and coaches are so much into winning that may cause negative effect over the child. Being too ambitious or going too much into an aim can harm the youth.We make the mistake of over criticizing them instead of building their self-confidence.

Coach a Team, Not a Star

Filed under: Amateur Sports, Coaches, Professional Sports, Sports — Author @ 7:38 pm

When the new season begins it is very exciting and invigorating for every coach to find out the strongest players and to start work with them at their pace.But focusing only on few best players is a clear message to the rest of the team. This mean that you care about the win and everything else is insignificant. The kids practice everyday and feel like practicing dummies that are used to support the all-star team. It is obvious that practice is not made for them because they just cannot keep-up with it.

10 Ways To Improve Your Run Time Without Extra Miles


For years I believed the only way to improve as a distance runner was
to run faster, maybe longer, or some combination of both. I’ve sat back
and watched the world’s elite runners spend an entire year of
unimaginable high volume, high intensity training, just to shave
fractions of a second off of their mile or 1500 meter time.

Rugby Practice Can Be Fun

Filed under: Amateur Sports, Articles about Sports, Coaches, Rugby, Sports — Author @ 7:42 am

Practice, by definition, is a chore. In order to perfect game-related skills, rugby players must perform repetitive, sometimes mundane tasks in a quest to build muscle memory and skill.

Make practice boring at your peril - players who dread practice won’t get as much (or anything) out of it, will distract the rest of the team, and may even quit.Having said that Rugby Practice Can Be Be Fun.
