when you feel comfortable with the knowledge that you have, but yet still have the desire and passion to keep learning new things each and everyday.

If you can recognize that often losses are your fault. In other words you can see, as it is happening, that you are being outcoached. The opposing coach is making an adjustment and you don't have an answer for it. Caught with your pants down. It is those "learning experiences" that make you a better coach. You need to have had [glow=red,2,300]a lot [/glow]of those to the point you believe that your kids aren't losing anymore because of you.
It's a fine line to walk because I think it comes full circle. When we first get into coaching, we don't know a lot. We lose games enough to finally realize that it is our fault, not the kids. We adjust and don't get burned by those situations again, we win more.
I feel that losses are my fault. I didn't coach well enough. My scheme didn't work, or my fundamentals weren't there to back up my scheme. I want to learn from the losing situations my teams have been in.
As always, just one man's opinion........

When you have gained confidence in the position you are coaching...THEN learn another position...Then you will be a more well-rounded coach. Stay in Jr. High until you have the chance to learn as much as possible (position-wise).

When you have an opportunity with a good head coach that is going to teach you and prepare you for success. Don't go up just to go up.
