HowtoCoach.biz Launched, Features Forums in All Sports

MILLVILLE, NJ, December 6, 2011 - HowtoCoach.biz has introduced a cutting-edge new site created to help coaches across the globe share tips and resources in an effort to better comprehend the function of a sports coach in affecting the players they advise. The How to Coach website, launched Dec . 4, 2011, was developed and designed by Gerald Covella, president of Digital Analytics Group. A journalist and longtime coach on the youth and high school levels, Covella saw the demand for a website that could allow coaches to have interaction and discuss ideas on the many issues they encounter on a daily basis.

“We look at the How to Coach site as an online coaching institute,” said Covella, “a site in which coaches can search for resources and concepts in their respective sports and, through this process, help them build programs that demonstrate to athletes the value and beauty of athletic competition.

“Whether it’s seeking better ways on how to coach basketball or how to coach soccer … or whether you are a football coach or swimming coach, the website was created to be a forum for open, honest dialogue between all coaches,” he added.

As a young journalist, Covella was a sports writer and then advanced to the post of sports editor for Gannett, one of the world’s largest newspaper companies. It was his experiences during those years that shaped his concepts about coaching.

“I had the opportunity to meet literally hundreds of coaches, some who directed local youth and high school teams and other coaches who were entrusted with overseeing college and professional teams,” said Covella. “It was intriguing to sit and chat about their coaching philosophies.”

At this time, with the launch of howtocoach.biz, Covella hopes to recreate a similar type of frank dialogue and interaction between coaches through all the sport-specific forums on the site.

“I wasn’t the first coach to come along and realize there are many tough issues to address,” said Covella of a coach’s role as mentor, “and I won’t be the last. With the additional pressures and responsibilities affecting athletes today, it’s important that coaches know they have a place to share their concerns, a place where they can find the answer to their questions.”

According to the site’s director, the key is for sports coaches to make use of the website, particularly the forums that have been established as a way to build the online community.

In addition, coaches can use the site to post bulletins about their team and league, such as schedules, special events, tryouts … anything related to the duties of a sports coach.

“We are on the ground floor, but we are confident once coaches start using the site they will find the value of sharing their ideas on how to coach with others who share their passion for athletics,” he said.
