My general outlook at being a coach is to help guide athletes not only in athletics, but academically as well. To me being a great coach is not measured in wins or losses, but in how you made an impact on your students life. As a coach at the high schoool level, I believe it's important to press the importance of academics, and encourage them to continue into college using both these skills. Being a leader is not measured by how many times you can blow a whistle, but how you conduct yourself on and off the field. Many kids look up to coaches as role models, so you always have to remember how your actions look to them.
