Coaching is hard, but being a coach's spouse is often harder.
They’re the emotional rock, the cheerleader, and the anchor in the storm.
They put up with a lot.
They are the true MVP in the life of a coach!
You know what doesn’t win football state championships.
7v7 tournaments.
What does? Dominating the line of scrimmage.
Your path forward is built on the guys in the trenches.
Find them, build them, celebrate them.
And then run the dang ball!

A True Hero - The Coach’s Spouse.
Marrying the right person is so important for a coach. Your spouse needs to be supportive, understanding, loyal, independent, and willing to sacrifice.
If you go home from work each day and your spouse is unhappy, you either won’t be married long or you won’t be coaching anymore.
Just as important, meet your spouse’s needs and be all of the above for them. If your spouse works, support them professionally. If they stay home with the kids they work just as hard and they don’t get many breaks. Understand their stress, schedule, and how you can help them. Don’t build your team at work and neglect your team at home.
A few ways coaches can help their marriage while running an athletic program:
*Leave work and have lunch together. Invite your spouse to work to have lunch with you. Your spouse should know the people you work with around the athletic department and school.
*Communicate: Check in with each other throughout the busy work day. A text here and there or a three minute phone conversation is simple, quick, and beneficial.
*Make the program “our program,” not “your program.” A spouse with involvement with the team is one who is invested in student-athlete success. Helping with team events and meals, attending games and even a few practices, and talking about the happenings within the program are all ways to make the program a partnership instead of a sole proprietorship.
*Be fiercely loyal
*Go for walks together; exercise together
*Earn “coach credits” or “coach points.” Date nights scattered throughout the year and a well-planned vacation in the off-season help build up credit which you’ll need to use during extremely busy times of the season.
*If you’re going for be busy with work all afternoon and evening then take the morning to be with your spouse. If you’re going to be busy all morning and afternoon, then be at home during the evening. There are times of the year when you’ll work 15+ hour days and will be on the road constantly. Don’t fall into the counter-productive trap of thinking this should be your schedule 12 months a year.
*Be present when home. Do a “power hour” many times a week where you put your phone on the charger in another room and spend an hour solely focused on your spouse.

“Kids haven’t changed. We’ve changed as adults. We demand less of kids. We expect less of kids. We make their lives easier instead of preparing them for what life is truly about. We’re the ones that have changed.” -- Frank Martin
