    Post: Does experience = great coach?

    Posted by Michael on 7/27/08

    Hello everyone.

    I am a second year assistant high school football coach.
    Last year (my first coaching) was a great experience, and
    now I feel like I have the BEST job in the world.....being a
    teacher (business courses) and a coach! I am a lateral entry
    coach (two years in the teaching and coaching field after
    abandoning corporate America). I coached a Jr. Pee Wee Pop
    Warner team 3 years ago, and that really drove me to become
    a teacher, and later, a coach.

    However, I do feel inadequate because of my past. I played
    sparingly in my 9th and 10th grade year of school 24 years
    ago before a hip injury sidelined me permanently. I have
    always considered myself a student of the game and I feel
    like I do make a competent coach (I am always researching).
    We have coaches that played more in high school and college,
    so I do feel like I really missed out.

    Are there any of you here on this board who feel like it is
    a handicap not to have played the game you coach extensively
    to be a good coach? I would like some of your opinions on
    this. Are there alot out there like me, or am I an exception
    to the rule?

    Thank you all so much!
