Anyone Coach in their Spare Time?
Just thought I'd see if there was any interest in discussion coaching youth or high school ball.
This is my first season back in legit coaching since I was just out of highschool. I'm coaching the Cumberland Panthers in the Ontario Provincial Football League. Bantam varsity so it's 13-14 year olds. I'm the OL coach (god help those poor kids).
Anyone else into this?
It's a cool experience for me becuase even though it's mostly Canadian rules it's actually 4 downs which is fun. 12 guys on the field with 4 downs gets interesting.
MOD's - if this gets no traction you can just toss er in "Ye Olde Trash Heap""Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic.”

Re: Anyone Coach in their Spare Time?
I coached my step sons baseketball team 6 seasons. HIs baseball team 2 seasons, his football team 1 season. His soccer team 1 season
my daughters soccer team 1 season, my sons baseball team 1 season.
I just don't have the time to coach anymore. I just declined to coach my sons basketball team. I used to love it, still do but I work 60-70 hrs a week I just don't have the time. When I had 1 child it was easy. Now MY daughter is in Dance 30+ hours a week. My youngest only gets 1 sport lately
Its fun. But sometimes the parents are complete morons to have to deal with

Never have but I was considering getting into the scouting academy. Being a football scout would be my dream job but im skeptical as to how likely that would be.
They don't accept the Gi bill so that's a downer.

Re: Anyone Coach in their Spare Time?
Coached my kids for years. It’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. Much like Saw I just don’t have time now. Parents are the worst part. Up here in Harford every parent thinks little Blake is the second coming of Jim Brown and Johnny U wrapped into one. I had one dad try and tell me his 185lb 13yr old needed to play QB. Um no Sir your big ass kid is gonna be my center or he’s not on my team. Lol. Enjoy the experience Brother.

Re: Anyone Coach in their Spare Time?
I coached 5 years for the Baltimore Terps in West Baltimore, took the season off last year so I could enjoy watching my son coming into his own as a player and I'm back at it this coming fall. Some of the most rewarding experiences of my life involved coaching those kids. If you have the time and the will to do it, I recommend doing it especially if you love the game.
