Basketball Coach Behavior Plan

Behavior Plan

As a future basketball coach, I will have to know how to discipline my athletes to ensure positive team culture. My plan for discipline will include taking steps to set the right team culture, team meetings, and rules to keep my team in line.

Steps that will have to be taken in order to manage my athlete’s behavior is to create the right team culture. I will take time to learn who they are on and off the court. As a coach, I will believe in my team and let them know that they are an important part of the team. I won’t yell and put someone down for making a mistake, I will teach them to see mistakes as opportunities to get better as an athlete. I will respect my players and show them that I care about them. Also, involve them

Generally, I would have my team meet twice a week for about 30 minutes up until we would start games. Then meet once a week to reflect on their performance by watching film or talking about what they could improve. From my experience at team meeting, I believe that it recoups the team and allows for bonding off the court and for a better understanding of what the coach wants from you. I will plan a meeting if I need to introduce offense or defense things that need to be described or drawn out. Also, to review previous team performance of my team.

At the beginning of the season, I will hold a meeting discussing the rules and expectation of each athlete. I will give the team a handbook stating each rule to ensure they will have the rules and not to be reminded of my rules. I will develop the rules to avoid any issues or confusion. A rule I will enforce will be, if you are late to a practice, meeting, or contest, you have to run. Only emergencies and illness are an excuse to miss or be late for an event. Also, no cell phones in the locker room close to game time. They will be distracted and unfocused on the game. I want my athletes to set an example for younger athletes so I will have the rule of being respectful by using appropriate language. I will also expect them to use an appropriate tone with other athletes, coaches, officials, and spectators. If my players taunt, use obscene gestures, or engage in boastful celebrations that demean other athletes, I will discipline them by taking away playing time. I want my athletes to have good sportsmanship and this would not show that quality. I want my athletes to be able to perform to the best of their ability so I will make a rule to not use tobacco or drink alcohol. If they are caught with anything, they will have to
