We are not admin on a cricket forum because we know more about cricket or are better players than anyone else. I like to think we are Admin because we have a certain attitude and principles that make a good Admin?
But Alas, coaches simply have to take qualifications, and then they can coach.
A coach is a teacher! And look at the difference in teachers!! Some are well qualified and insist on massive discipline and their lessons are not fun and some of their students would be shut off or bored! I believe the best teachers are the ones who make learning interesting, fun and can open the students minds and engage with them - this includes students questioning things they are taught and trying to understand why something is correct.
When picking a coach I would look at the person and if it is someone I could relate to and someone I actually WANT to learn from! I wouldn't care if he is level 2, 3 or 4....in my book its about whether I'd like to learn from him and whether he has the character to engage me and make it something my brain will enjoy!
Attitude and some humility counts for a lot in life. Most of us find a 'know-it-all' and arrogant person someone we don't really want to learn from or even associate with - not that I'm saying that anyone posted in this topic an arrogant and self righteous person of course - I am simply generalising!
If someone (for example) joins a cricket forum to try to drum up coaching business or show everyone how good they are, then is that a person that we would want to know? Hmmmm, not me thank you.
If it were someone who joins a forum to help people and genuinely wants to mentor and to offer their experience in a civil and sincere way then we would love that!
I believe that coaching is helping and bringing people on by positive engagement. Coaching is not about preaching and saying that everyone else is wrong and there is only one way!! Praise The Lord! I'd better shut up before I bore people myself!
Sermon is over! Sorry!
