Question 27 of 30

As a coach, what values do you have for your team?

"My top two values for my team to have are being committed and teachable. I want my players to show up everyday on time and ready for practice- showing up is a huge part of commitment for me. It shows that they want to be part of the team. I'll also show my commit to the team by always be there early and ready to start on time. I also believe being teachable is an important factor in playing sports. If a player isn't willing to try something new, they won't be able to grow with the team."

      How to Answer

      The interviewer wants to get to know how you are as a leader- what is important to you. As a coach you are the leader of that team and depending what you value will reflect on the team. Do you care about timing? If you arrive five minutes late everyday, your players are going to the same thing and it shows you don't value time.

      Don't list off a ton of values that are important to you while answering this question. Pick two or three values that you believe are important to you as a coach and explain why. You don't need to talk about everything that is important to you.

      "I value commitment, discipline, and respect. I ask a lot from my players because the practices can be long and so is the season. So I value commitment because it's a difficult sport during the coldest season of the year, and you have to be disciplined to show up and be prepared. Games and practices can also be frustrating, and that's why I ask my girls to be respectful to teammates, refs, and coaches during games and off the field."
