The Three Basic Coaching Styles

Command - The coach makes all the decisions, no questions asked.
Submissive - The coach makes a few decisions as possible, may lose control.
Cooperative - The coach provides leadership, but allows players to have input into the team, and makes them feel important, a part of the team. This style is recommended for successful coaching experiences, but may take time to develop because it runs counter to so many stereotypes. The level of player involvement in team leadership will vary with the age of the players.
