They are truly confident in their baseball ability. De- spite that, they Still have the nerve to come out and play. The' one "sort of" game that the Expositor Beavers had logged was against the Roth's Food Market team, back laSt month. The hastily arranged match was ham- pered by heavy rains which lasted up until half an hour before game' time. But no matter, •the game must go on, and it did. It iX worth noting that about half of the participating players actually don't work for either Roth's or,the Expositor, but nobody complained. Confident that they could repeat last year's 17431/2 victory, Roth's were dealt a severe blow to their collective ego when the final score tallied to a 19-19 tie. -As Saturday st-big game approaches, the tension is building.

The coach, angered' by the call, argues, but to no avail. The players, exhausted, re- •tire to the bench, anci. cry., "Although we lost, that game is one of the best memories I have as a coach." recalls Terry Johnston. "I was so proud of those girls." The game against Wing- ham. two years ago, was one which the Seaforth District High School Senior girls basketball team should be very proud of, according to Mr. Johnston, their coach. He has several such tripmer- ies•ftnin his coaching career, and although he admits the victories are easier to temem ber, some of his nicest memories stem from times when Seaforth lost, but per- forMed well. Head of the physical educa- tion departrnent at SDHS, Mr. Johnston has played and coached several sports. Each sport which he coaches, he has participated' in hin telf. right from the smallest league. through to university. It is very 'important. of course, for a coach to have played that particular sport at one time or another. However, there is a great deal more involved in coach- ing than knowing the sport, and this is of great concern to Mr. Johnston. Re feels many people who are coach- ing have had no training. and althotigh they are knowledge- the ,sport -they ,and, t eir players, would benefit from some formal coaching training. Therefore, he is planning to include a coach- ing' program in the curricu- lum for the grade 12 phys-ed Sportin' about class. There is a National Coach- ing Certification Program which Mr. Johnston wants to use for his class. He and Debbie Dawson, a physical education teacher at SDHS, will take a course which will qualify them to teach level one of the coaching certifica- tion program. There are three levels in theory. The program involves the- ory and technique of coaching so students will be required to dasome.practical worlt. They will likely assist coaching in a -Ittineeleagtte:m-in iiitcrmur- al games at the school. The purpose• of including this program would be to develop coaches for community teams .and inter-mural , teams, One student who has done some coaching already, is Robert Thompson who assist- ed with Midget basketball. Robert plays for the Senior team which Mr. Johnston coaches. Robert, as a player- coach, will likely practice same of the mannerisms and approaches which Mr. John- ston-Uses as a coach. 'NO' coach is really un- ique," said Mr. Johnston., adding that even the best coaches have picked up ideas from coaches they've had over the years. His favourite was his football coach at St. Mary's university. "He had unique coaching methods: so 'we callIIII•—hint ---'-''CoaC.11 Crazy". However, even Coach Crazy •had adapted ideas from former coaches. added Mr.. Johnston. WINNING COACH A well-respected coach from this area is Ras Donnelly Goderich's football coach. Donnelly is reputed to be tough. loud and sparse with praise, but his teams are usually winning. Donnelly played for Wayne Horner. the former coach at Goderich, who was even louder. said Mr. Johnston. but he never lost a football game. Donnelly is us the same approach. and winning. ---Howeviet,.,orte approach is not always best. because players are people. and since they are all different, Mr. Johnston feels they should be treated accordingly to bring out the best' in them. A goon coach' must be an excellent judge of human nature, be- cause he or she has to know 'Wherito praise yell. consult or encourage so the player will develop. "It is most_ impor- tant to: know how to- treat individuals." said Mr John- ston. "I've gone the full- gammit with different boys; from yelling to quiet assur. • anee " • -Coaches are important in the sense of individual deve• lopment, but they are essen- tial for organizing a team. "All the successful teams I've played on had good coaches." Mr. Johnston add- ed. He played with a team which was winning, but start- ed losing when the coaching staff was changed. "They had the same knowledge but didn't have the same keen interest." Two important features of a good coach arc a willingness to devote a great deal of time, and a keen interest in the game. Many. coaches have, played the sport, and want to keep in contact with it. An interesting example of the importance of coaching, is the incredible performance of, the Eagles slo-pitch team. For the past few years. the Eagles have not done well in the league standings. They had very promising players. with good throwing arms and fielding abilities, but they just weren't playing together., This season, however, they are reported to beat the top in their league. Part of their succeSs has been attributed to their new coach John Van Vliet. 'Other years, the Eagles have had players as their coach, but having John out- side the action, gives -the team a more objective idea of how each player should be goals for the season. Whether the goal is to win or just have fun., the team and coach must agree, or "it will be a long season," said Mr. Johnston. Most children who have climbed the ranks in a sport are greatly indebted to their coaches, likely volunteer, who have devoted much time to the soprt.
