Thank you once again for taking the time to review Coaching Basics. As

you can see from the materials and references we have provided you with,

there is a lot to learn. However, now that you have started, the most

important thing is to use what you have learned to enjoy your athletes, your

sport, the competition, and to have fun.

The real rewards for your efforts are not in the awarding of trophies or medals but

in the words of an athlete who, at the end of the season, extends to you a heartfelt

"Thanks Coach!"

Enjoy your season, your athletes, and everything coaching has to offer!
