Things like seeing that their hips are not up or steps being under/over....Adjusting of standards.......

But isn't that muscle memory from practice? Learning to self-adjust?

I mean, I can do little reminders....keep hands up. To and through the ball. But I don't consider that "coaching them up" during competition.

I said happy medium. I believe that it is a coaches job to make adjustments and help kids. I do when they are throwing but a lot of coaches speak just to speak so they look like a good coach.

I've seen kids miss because their coach didn't adjust the standards properly.

To me there is a happy medium. There are coaches that like to "coach" (really just talking to talk) to hear themselves and to "show" everyone how smart they are. Bingo I understand what you are saying, but a thought: I want to be that coach that encourages every one of my kids during the race. ESPECIALLY the slowest, least talented. Those kids come out looking for something that sometimes you are the only one that can give it to them. Positive encouragement. If you only cheer/coach your best we all see right through you. Especially your kids.

Uh, we have one of those in district. Play them Thursday hope to beat tf out of them. I hate the "look at me" coaches. Too many out there...

I coach sprinters and long jumpers, when my sprinters and long jumpers are up, I'm right there next to them, when they are not on the track I'm in my chair!

I have been known to have that "special whistle" while my kids are running, but I try not to yell at them too much (when I yell, it's because I'm the kids' fan, not because I'm "coaching them"). Heck, I remember when I ran track, I couldn't hear anybody yelling for me anyway, so why do it now? lol.
I coach the kids up during field events, though. I don't make them do drills or anything, but I have plenty of coaching points between trials. And now that you can film them and have them watch, it's great, and should be used by everyone. Just my $.02
