One of them is an incredible amount of patience. As a long time coach and captain, I'm pretty relaxed with my teams. Win or lose, I'm usually pretty chill. But tonight my patience got a bit exhausted. It was because my team has had trouble putting the pieces together. As a coach, I have a vision of how the team can play but the vision hasn't been 100% realized. Much of this is on me but to be fair, these adult teams don't practice. We all just show up to play and I try to piece the puzzle together.
But one lesson that is learned by coaching is that you understand that not everyone seems the game of basketball the game way as you do. It's easy to get frustrated but you have a ton of players who have varying experience levels. You just have to address each person individually.
In any case, we've got a few games left to play so the season isn't over yet.
