It’s important for coaches to understand that they can always get better at being a coach. Being a great coach is a life-long learning experience. Start from the bottom, learn from other coaches, and be open to feedback from others. Consider the following resources:
- The Positive Coaching Alliance - We believe in the power of positivity, and you should too.
- Basketball Canada's LTAD Program - BNB subscribes the "Long Term Athlete Development" model from Basketball Canada. Every high level coach should understand this model and the concept of age-appropriate skills and abilities development.
- National Coach Certification Program (NCCP) - All teams competing in provincial championships must have at least one coach who is NCCP trained or certified. BNB offers coaching clinics at various times of the year.
