Wild idea. You know how athletes go on recruiting visits and send out film to impress coaches? What if we flipped that? What if we consulted with kids to help them spot the signs of the best coach and program for them. We would work through the coach’s claims as the first step. Then we would review film on how the coach interacts with players at practice and behaves at games. And we would pay special attention to how those players with the least amount of playing time are treated. The player would receive packets on the coaches at all of the schools and programs that they’re interested in to help them make a more informed decision.
Because if you are a strong athlete looking to play collegiate or elite level sports, your coach is going to make or break your experience. What not evaluate them, too?
