It's hard, or you wouldn't like it. A lot of coaches really don't like what they're doing.

I've had hard coaches all my life.

I'm used to being coached. Something I learned long ago is that a coach is trying to make you better and to be the best version of yourself.

I learned a long time ago how to be coachable.

Coaching is the great passion of my life, and the job to me has always been an opportunity to work with our student athletes and help them discover what they want.

I think I have some ideas on coaching, but listen, coaches work harder than players. The hours they put in, the headaches that they have. That's the one thing I've never liked about coaching. They have all the emotion, passion and preparation without actually getting to be able to dictate what happens.

All I can say is that I'm going to try to coach the way I've coached in the past. And if it ends up not being good enough, then so be it.

I think I'm pretty coachable. I do what coaches ask of me.

I think the most rewarding part of the job, and I think most coaches would say it, is practice. If you have it, a very good practice in which you have 12 guys participate, and they can really get something out of it, lose themselves in practice.
