I know very little about what it takes to be a Coach. What preparations go into it. How involved you are for each side of the ball.
How much face to face time do you have with each player. How stressful the job is. Is politics involved.Do you get advice from other coaches from other teams.
How successful were you?
 
I have not.

I coached little league baseball for over 10 years and also coached my grandsons football teams before they went to high school. I don’t think coaching at the little league level in baseball or youth league football is anywhere close to what it is like coaching at the high school or higher levels of these sports.

At the youth league levels it is more about teaching the basics of the game than anything else. Yet even with my very limited experience as a coach, it has given me a greater appreciation for what it must take to reach the higher levels of the coaching profession.
 
No but I got to call my own plays in the city league as a teenager (middle school only had a flag football team I also played on, so I played in the city leagues growing up), so I felt like part coach lol

I hated playing QB because I was a much better WR than QB...but our line sucked and noone else could throw so id usually end up at QB running for my life.

A bit off topic but it brought back memories.

He got the cigarettes but then remembered you were out of milk.

He's on a journey to find the freshest, best tasting milk available because nothing is too good for Superfin. He said he won't show his face until he's found it.
 
I coached a local Christian high school basketball team to the state championship game 1 year while redshirting in college as a basketball player, also was a ncaa basketball referee, and majored in sports management. I had dreams of becoming a scout, but that's a good ole boy hookup that I wasn't privy too, so I Enlisted in the Navy in May 2000 when I realized my dreams wouldn't come to fruition.

I coached only rec league flag football, certainly nowhere to the level I
imaginie your question to be.

P.s. 😆🤣😂 years I coached in Madden and built incredible dynasties 😆🤣😂
 
I coached football for 15 years. In a well coached team, you have positional coaches, i.e. quarterback, runningback, ect; then your coordinators. Now, your positional coach can be 1 or 2 guys for either side of the ball, but they really have to follow the coordinator. The coordinators follow the Head Coach. Stress? Blah, I coached the kids as a coordinator and head coach this way: If you coach the fundamentals, you will win. I had some teams with less athletic ability then other teams, but we won because of fundamentals. Politics? Yea, that's why I stopped coaching, parents are the worst. I really didn't take advice from other coaches, most try to get an edge and are lying, lol. Success? We won Championships, I think we made the playoffs every year except 1 in those 15 years.

Best thing about coaching is watching your players grow up and become adults.

Worst thing is, parents.
