What do coaches look for?

As we start a new season I am struck by the thought of what coaches look for in their players. It comes down to the same thing that parents, teachers and employers look for and want to see:

1. A listening ear.

2. A great attitude.

3. The ability to serve and look out for others.

4. Finding ways to improve and help others improve.

5. The ability to work hard every day whether they feel like it or not.

6. The unflinching desire to never give up regardless of the circumstances.

Fairly tough stuff, but it makes a big difference if you can follow these six points. You want to make a big impression on your coach then do these six things day in a day out and the coach will take notice of you.
