A multisport policy for high school athletes. Note the bottom portion that requires coaches to promote multisport athletes or risk being fired.
- Interview questions for a high school football job. What are your thoughts? Anything to add?
- Send me your crazy "You Can't Make This Up" stories from coaching! Here's an example sent to me. Had a JV QB tell me in the first half that his right hand hurt (he had taken a hit). Said he wanted it taped up...I told him tape wasn't going to ease the pain, that's not what it
- I spoke to AD in Florida this morning. "When I came to this county in 1992, the stipend for most coaches excluding football was $2,378. In 2022, that stipend is now $2400." Imagine if we all worked for the same salary as our job paid in 1992. @PayFLCoaches @FACACoach @FIAAANews
- For high school girls, the number one reason they quit is because it is no longer fun (38%). For high school boys, the number one reason they quit is because it is no longer fun (39%). There's a theme here (Kelley & Carchia, 2013).
- Female athletes who become coaches are 4 times more likely to stay in coaching if they have had a female head coach (Wasend & LaVoi, 2019).
- I don't think anyone knows how hard it is to be a head coach until they've been a head coach. #IYKYK
- I'm pretty sure every coach could write a book titled "You Can't Make This Up." Shout out to all us coaches who deal with the insanity of what comes with our job.
- Michael Jordan was once asked what his best skill was. "I was coachable." A lot could be learned from that.
- Excited to see @NBACoachGriffin officially confirmed as head coach of the @Bucks. Adrian is a member of our FSU COACH advisory board and a big support of coach education and development. Congratulations Adrian!
