Coaching Styles .
Malthouse coaches using brief detail for
example one two three a b c steps. This
would be counted as autocratic because he
decides what happens and he has complete
control of the team.
Collingwood use a similar plan each week of
who plays in what position which Malthouse
comes up with , not the players. The players
may contribute to this but Mick has the final
decision .
Negatives of coaching in an autocratic style
•Not every player gets a say in what they would like to happen . It is
not a team decision and the game plan is completely up to their
coach , but when it comes to the actual game it all comes back to the
players doing what they know best.
•Mick has complete say , so what he says may not be completely
correct . It may not match to the players ability or what the players
are capable of. However their ability would definitely would be
considered not every single thing is being considered when only the
coach is having a say.
Positives to coaching in an autocratic style
•Ideas don't get muddled up or miss-interpreted . The
coach knows exactly what to say .
•The coach knows what everyone is capable of and
what each individual players commitment should be
like and what sort of support and everything they need
throughout each day to get them through .
•The coach knows them best , therefore he would
know best of how to coach the team properly .
