Coaching Experience:
I
have coached baseball for the past 12 years, from Blast-ball to Midget
AA. I have coached All Star Summer baseball teams, taken teams to
Provincial Finals, coached Excel training and been Tadpole/Rookie and
Pee Wee coordinator in the past. I sat on the RCBA executive for a
nuber of years and am familiar with the inner workings of RCBA.
I
have coached boys soccer (South Arm and RYSA) for the past 12 years. I
have coached Silver and Gold select teams, finishing first in our
division and winning various tournament play.
In
both baseball and soccer, I have run evaluation sessions and been a
member of the selection committee for various select teams.
Playing History:
I
have played baseball and soccer for 12 years, and am familiar with the
demands of the various positions and training schedules. Although, I am
not currently playing, I have a strong grasp on what players need to
take from practices and games to be successful.
Coaching Philosophy:
I
believe in a fair play philosophy. I believe in developing a group
environment and building both team and individual leadership skills. I
believe that in doing so; the stronger members of the team can help to
guide the development of the team. This helps to develop both physical
skills as well as the mental attitude of the athletes. It has become
apparent to me that the most successful sports teams are those with
strong mental and emotional bonds. This allows the members of those
teams to excel at competition, and brings out the best in their
abilities.
The
most important step in any team development is to establish a
relationship between the team members. In order for a team to be
successful they must have a strong bond, and be able to develop the
specific skills needed for competition.
Best Regards,
Terry Dowle
