You need to become a manager for the men's or women's team then. What are you currently doing to reach that goal?
yeah I'm anticipating this but then again I come from the same type of background/upbringing your talking about so really I'm just going to take what I was taught that helped me and others like me the most when I was their age and put my own spin on it... I have a lot of experience working with at risk youth & loud elementary kids. I've become immune to a lot of the bull kaka and as for the parents just have to laugh it off and be professional from what I know and have seen.Originally Posted by DCAllAmerican
Come back and tell me how much you like it when you have
A. Big fat kids thinking they are God's gift to athletics.
B. Know it all parents
C. PArents threatening you because their kid isn't getting tick
D. Losing damn near all of your games.
Won't be fun then. But when a kid comes up to you and says, "Coach ___ I never knew half of the stuff you taught me before this season" then it all feels so good.
Inner city coaching is a different beast man. Remember most of these dudes never get instruction from a male so they don't usually know how to take it. No fathers, no male teachers (other than PE), so you are the devil to many of them. It is tough man, the athlete of today is tough to deal with. But someone taught me so we have to teach the young ins
But, that takes patience and sacrifice to go that Grad Assistant route. My cousin is on his second D1 football assistant coaching job and he was telling me the Grad Assistants put in a ton of work just to work your way up the ladder. He even had to take a paycut when he first got into coaching by coaching at his alma mater (HS). So for anybody who wants to go that route, be prepared for long nights putting film together and other "non-glamorous" tasks.Originally Posted by raptors29
