    Experience is half of what a good coach requires. Jumping in at the deep end, qualified or not, will produce little.

    I'd advise every newly qualified coach to first watch experienced coaches in action, then try and learn that way. It's no use going straight in and ripping up the textbook, because you won't get far. Go and see a good coach and learn!

    I second that motion. I have the opportunities to watch some of the good ones. They may not know all the technical info but motivating the players is their strength.

    100% agree with that. Even after doing coaching courses and the like, the most important stuff I learned was from other very experienced coaches around me. There is alot of stuff courses don't teach you about when you first start coaching but watching a good coach in action is the best way to learn.
