1. Coach of Cricket:
A cricket match is a game between two sides where each side fields eleven players. The coach gives instructions on what the batsman should do while batting, the bowler should do while bowling, and the fielders while fielding. The coach calls balls, strikes, wides, no-balls, fours, sixes, boundaries and extras. He calls the umpires' decisions as well as the time taken in deciding them. A cricket match may last 5 days; however, it is uncommon now to play matches longer than five days. The coach oversees the whole match. If the score is tied after ten overs, then the final 20 overs will be played only. If it is still tied at the end of these twenty overs, then the tie will be resolved according to a super over. There are three types of coaches:
- Head coach
- Assistant coach
- Volunteer coach.

his players regarding the strategy to win the match. He gives instructions on how
to tackle, pass, kick, shoot and dribble. He also tells his players whether to
run forwards or backwards, left or right. He ensures that the team follows the
rules of the game and not breaking any rules. He makes sure that his players
are physically fit enough to play the game. He keeps the winning morale of the
team high by motivating them.
3. Coach of Hockey:
Hockey is a fast
paced sport with lots of action, speed, and excitement. The coach takes care of
the tactics, strategies, and skills of the team members. He motivates the
players and gets them to work hard by praising them from time to time. He keeps
track of the goals scored, assists and points earned by his team-mates. He also
ensures that he does not allow fighting between teammates.
Who is Coach:
A Coach helps players improve their skills through
training and tactical planning. They help players perform at their best by
providing feedback and motivation. Coaches may also lead the team to success by
setting goals, devising strategies, and motivating players to reach these
goals.
In cricket; A coach
is responsible for leading the team on field during the match. He makes calls
on the pitch based on his judgment and experience.
In hockey; In
hockey, a coach is the person who plans and executes the tactics for each game
and practices sessions. The coach works closely with the team captain and other
members of the coaching staff to plan the strategy for games and practices. A
successful hockey player should have good leadership qualities, discipline, attention
to detail, and a strong work ethic.
In football; A
football coach is responsible for directing the actions of the team during the
game. They make decisions on the field and call plays. The head coach is tasked
to build a winning culture in the team and motivate them towards achieving
success. Head coaches are expected to organize practice routines and oversee
recruitment and training activities.
Role of Coach:
Cricket - Coach's role is to prepare players for upcoming matches. He/she should have basic knowledge about playing skills and tactics of cricket and he should have good command over English language.
Hockey - The role of
hockey coaches is to keep the team motivated throughout the season. Coaches
need to know the basics of game strategy, rules, tactics, and how to motivate
your players.
Football - According
to FIFA regulations, football coaching license requires only a minimum of 5
years of experience at youth level and 2-3 years of experience at senior level,
while UEFA recommends just 1 year of experience at youth level. Furthermore, if
you wish to become a football coach then you should get training and coaching
course.
Responsibilities of Coaches:
In Cricket, the Coach takes
responsibility of his team’s performance and does everything he can to enable
his side win. In cricket, he controls the batting order, decides what shots are
played, how many balls are bowled etc. He also plans ahead and tries to
influence the match situation (by giving instructions) before the match starts.
But the most important thing about the coach is that he has the last word on
what happens at the end of each match. Like in any sport where the objective is
to get points, the winning team gets two points while the losing team gets
nothing. So even if the game goes on till the end and no goals are scored, the
first team to reach 2 points wins the match since they have got the maximum
amount of points from the game. If one team scores more number of runs than its
opponent, then the winner is decided based on the difference between the runs
scored by both teams.
In Hockey, the coach
makes sure that his players play well individually and collectively. To do
this, he gives them good advice and helps them improve their skills using
drills/practices and training sessions. When a player is playing well he might
give him some special treatment to keep him motivated to perform well. This may
include praising him publicly, or telling him something positive. On the
contrary, sometimes he criticizes the player for not performing well. He also ensures
that his players are always ready for the game, and never lets them get tired
out.
In football, the
coach is responsible for making sure that his team plays together as a unit.
Since football is a team game, the coach should make sure that the team members
understand the team strategy, communicate effectively with each other, work
efficiently as a team, and maintain discipline at all times. He also keeps
track of the opponents' strengths and weaknesses and prepares strategies
accordingly. The coach should make the team aware of the tactics of the
opposing team and use these information along with the team's own strengths to
devise effective counter-plays. He also coordinates with team members to ensure
that everyone is working towards the same goal.
Scheme of Cricket:
A cricket match is played between two teams consisting of 11
players each. Each team consists of 4 batsmen (who bat), 4 bowlers (who bowl)
and 1 wicket keeper (who keeps). There are 5 innings and if the score reaches
50 then the game ends.
Scheme of Hockey:
In hockey, there is
no fixed number of players per side; rather, in most games, the two teams
consist of a maximum of 6 on-ice players at any given time. In football, a team
may have 15 players on the pitch at once. Two halves of 10 minutes length are
played. At the end of the half, if either team scores, then they win the match.
