Interesting point made by Bruce, the school as a whole has many important things to concern itself with. But there is an athletic director whose job it is specifically to pay attention to matters concerning athletics. Looks like the A.D. did a pretty good job with the soccer coach hiring. Training, uniting, building team work, instilling goal setting, devotes a lot of time to the kids. I saw quite a bit in the News Sun about football, soccer, baseball, basketball, etc running summer clinics for the middle and grade school age groups.
Canât say if a coach that doesnât do these things needs to be replaced, motivated? Maybe there is a pay scale difference, other incentives, or personal matters involved. Or maybe these coaches that do the extras for their programs are just really committed to the sport and players. What I can say though is that Snoopy has a valid question in asking if weâre getting what weâre paying for. Are we? Seems like a question that we all should be asking about the programs we pay for. Did the parents of the soccer players ask that same question a couple years ago? Does anyone have history on how the change came about in that program or why the new coach was brought in?
