[Envy~Me~Always]

I played girls' basketball for quite some time and had maybe one or two coaches that actually knew what they were doing. Others were just there to fill the space on the bench.

I must say that I believe that it is primarily up to the player to decide how they will play. If they have the guts, determination, and hard work ethic they can be a great player. But I will also say that at some time (more than once actually) a player will need some type of uplifting speech, pat on the back, or help with what to do against a certain team or rival player and that is where the coach comes in.

Players and coaches work hand in hand with each other. They both need each other.
