Characteristics of a Good Coach

There are certain qualities that good coaches must have to motivate and boost the abilities of their athletes. They are responsible for providing athletes with advice, support and guidance to reach athletic goals. For this reason Tekulve Acceleration would like to tell you about some of the characteristics of a good coach

Puts health and safety of the athletes above all else.

An athlete’s primary tool is their body. Keeping it healthy and safe is paramount to their success and enjoyment in sport.

  • Learns about injury reduction, and strategizes the roster’s playing time so that your athletes can continue to enjoy sport well into adulthood.
  • Reminds athletes of proper nutrition and hydration and gives tips on pre/post training and game day snacks.


They are Leaders.

  • Great leaders are able to instill confidence and motivate those around them, which will boost the self-esteem of the players.

They have Good Communication.

  • Being open to receive feedback will create a positive environment in the team and improve their performance. 

They Know the Sport.
