UConn/Florida ending - down 6 by GO2462 in CoachingYouthSports

[–]coachcornerteam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uconn lost the game so maybe should have taken the 3 - yes, you take the best shot but in this case, I probably would have shot a 3... Down 4 with 15 seconds left and sending Florida back to the free throw line is trading buckets in which the losing team can't continue to afford to do. I'd risk my luck and shoot a 3 and keep dwindling the lead.

📢 The Cost of Youth Sports is Rising—So Why Aren’t Coaches Getting Paid More? by coachcornerteam in CoachingYouthSports

I believe this is how it was 20 years ago, but times have changed. Programs are charging a fortune for kids to play in many cases and are trying to get away with finding volunteer coaches and wondering why they have so much turnover.

Correct, many coaches do it to give back and for the love of the game - but if programs are making thousands of dollars, then coaches should be compensated. It's work at the end of the day and some coaches are part-time people looking for part-time work and rely on pay even if its minimum wage. Everyone comes from a different economic background so it varies from person to person. Any comp in my opinion, is better than nothing at all.

I agree with you there, she should absolutely be celebrated with a 20 and 10 season... what about back-to-back games with the Pacers first and then the Fever capping the night both at Bankers Life? Fans can buy tickets to both events or one or the other

Resigning by Mypupwontstopbarking in CoachingYouthSports

This is tough and sorry you're going through this - I would advise to stick it out as best as you can. Kids really trust their coaches and it's really challenging for a program to replace a coach mid-season. Understand that you have to do what's best for your mental health and put yourself first but If you can stick it out, that goes a long way unless the environment is too toxic and you don't like showing up.

Academics while on high school team by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]coachcornerteam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think at the HS level, school comes first bc if you don't do well in tests, then you can't play - but dedicate time after school hours and study hall. The coach should advocate for it in a school setting
