Communicating Between Coaches

When coaching at the next level, communication between coaches is a vital part of the game. A good scouting report is a great guide to being successful against an opposing team. A scouting report is one team’s analysis on the others, as they break down each player’s strengths and weaknesses. A lot of the time these scouting reports are shared between teams in a trade for another teams scouting report.

In order to obtain another teams report it is important to build a relationship with other coaches in the same conference or within the same area. A few examples of building relationships with another coach can range anywhere from the following:

* Staying in contact throughout the season

* Suggesting nice hotels and restaurants when coming into town

* Providing nice facilities and help at your playing field

* Showing good sportsmanship on and off the field

A good relationship with other coaches can help your team compete to its best ability and also give you an edge against opposing teams. How good are your relationships with the teams on your schedule?
