Q: I never learned to skate, but I like to coach youth sports. What can I do to help my child’s hockey team this season?
A: This is a great question. For some unfortunate reason, youth sport coaches often feel that they need to have hockey-playing experience to coach or help with a team. Though experience does help, some of the best coaches I have met (with no experience) are ones who have passion for the game, love working with young athletes, and are always willing to learn and grow as a coach. Read on for options that might be a good fit for you.
