In the Sunday Times today there was a good article about football coaching by David Walsh. As the online version is subscription only, rather than posting all the article here I thought I would post the five Do’s and five Don’ts, while this comes from a football background it equally applies to most sports where young kids are involved, including Skiing;

Five Do’s

1. Create an environment where the emphasis is on enjoyment.

2. Allow kids the opportunity to make mistakes, it helps them learn.
