Evaluating yourself as a coach

Its a responsibility of a coach to evaluate players they coach either subjectively or at set times during a season.

But a bigger responsibility is when we look at evaluating our own performance.



The following is a checklist I found that a coach could find presents a base from which to evaluate their own performance.

Apologies to the unknown author

Dar Young Africans Vs Simba Sports club

Tommorow (saturday 31/10/2009) is one of the big days in Tanzanian Soccer. Tanzania's soccer giants Yanga (young Africans) and Simba will clash at the National stadium in Dar es Salaam. The match is expected to attract many spectators than usual, we expect revenue collections to be high. Actually we look forward to watching this big event. In the midst of expectation I can not stop myself from wondering what actually will happen tommorow. I wish to very advanced soccer tactics from the big teams, I wish to hear from TFF that they have collected as much as they expected as gate collection, I wish to see fair officiating of the match.

ONLY DEFENDING BECOMES MORE OF A POSITIONING TO FORCE THE BALL TO WHERE YOU CAN ATTACK IT FOT ATTACKING ITS ABOU...
