There are a multitude of responsibilities that come with being a coach. Coaches are expected to get their players in shape, teach them how to play the game, make decisions on how plays should be run, and ultimately win games. But the most important, as well as most difficult, responsibility for any coach is to keep his or her players motivated throughout the season. As simple as this may sound, it can sometimes be a daunting task especially when the team may be having a rough season and are ready to give up.
