Coach Differences

The Best of Both Worlds Do you ever wonder if your coach or your child’s coach was a good athlete and that’s why they coach so well? In most cases that’s not true. “It's rare to find a great coach that was a great player.” One of the hardest transitions in the “athletic world” is transitioning between player and coach.
