There are 3 kinds of athletes.
1) All in! Show up early, work hard, communicate with coaches. Outcome: Coaches and teammates trust them to get the job done on the field. Most likely to earn a high level of playing time if athletically capable.
2) Show up sometimes. Typically late. Communicate after the fact. Outcome: Coaches aren’t always sure what they’re going to get from them, so this impacts playing time.
3) Missing in action. Don’t show up, don’t communicate, no good reason for missing. Outcome: They eventually get passed by players who are committed and dependable. Typically are cut or quit the team.
Which one are you?
The average high school head football coach stipend is around $7,000. Fluctuating heavily
For that, they’re expected to coach year-round, run a program, mentor kids, manage parents, recruit their own halls, fundraise, break down film, coordinate staffs, and be available almost 24/7.
Football coaches are grossly underpaid for what we ask of them.
Freeman High's lone practice field now features synthetic turf, enhancing access, durability & playability. The turf field "will help not only the PE classes but the after-school sports. It will also help the community," Tuckahoe District Supervisor Jody Rogish said.
@WinterSportsLaw Big problem is also the fact that it is evolving so fast, most college coaches don’t know what to expect. Hard to know if they don’t even know.
