Advice to Assistant Coaches
Here is some advice Chris Boyd ex Sharks Super 14 Coach & Wellington NPC:
"As an assistant it is VERY difficult to get personal balance when you don't agree with the philosophy of those pulling the strings
Always think problems to solutions
Control what you can control
Debate and commit ( you need to do this in private not in front of players )- keep challenging but be aware of the coach not wanting to be challenged and will begin to find your questioning mind an irritation
Whatever the coaching group decides even if you don't agree you need to commit to - cant speak out against other coaches - PROBLEM - find the solution - ( you may just have to bite your tongue and publically agree)
Best way to control your destiny is to be a head coach if you are working with somebody else be a GOOD TEAM man and use the opportunity to grow your coaching."
Very wise words!
