The position of Coach, Assistant Coach, or leader of any youth group is an important and serious responsibility. All the children look up to the coach and respect his/her position. His/her behavior is constantly under observation by them and they will strive to imitate his/her actions. The Coach's opinion and behavior during the game will carry more weight than anyone else, even parents.
