I’ve never known of a group of parents that banded together to get a high still coach fired, whose kids went on to have good college careers, or even really play in college for that matter.
If a kid has to call a coach for a ride to practice because the adults in his life won't take him, we've already identified the biggest obstacle to that kid's success—and it isn't the kid.
Kids raised in coaching households learn things you can’t teach in a classroom.
Resilience. Teamwork. Sacrifice. Character. Problem-solving.
They don’t just watch you coach games. They watch you lead people.
And that lesson lasts forever.
