"Keys of success" she has used over the years and would recommend to other coaches As a High School Coach, it is important to remember that you are not just coaching a sport. You are creating athletes, role modals and future leaders. They are not just walking talking action figures, but young adults that need our guidance. Treat your athletes with respect and they will respect you. Stand behind them and set them up for success. While striving for excellence is important, it is the journey you take them on and the life lessons you teach your athletes that will stay with them forever.
