If I came in to recruit your son, I would tell you, your wife, and your son, that I will be the most demanding coach your son can play for.

It's definitely harder being a dad than a coach.

I coached against Dave the last couple of years, and I was very proud to be the first time a father ever coached against his son. He beat me for 30 minutes the first time and 59 and a half minutes the second time.

Welcome to the world we live in as coaches. You've got to figure out what you can do best and better to get these kids a chance to be successful. I think that comes through a lot of things - confidence, improvement, recruiting.

It's hard when your father's the coach. Sometimes you don't know where one leaves off and the other begins.

The one thing coaches cannot tolerate... is the individual who grows arrogant because he excelled at a lower level and believes he has nothing else to learn.

You want the best for your kid, but everybody's career is completely different in this industry.

As soon as I had a child, he became the priority. Now, I fit my training around him. I've changed as an athlete.

As a parent, you have to be good coach and bad coach, and I think in the college-application process, I didn't want to be bad coach. 'This is amazing! I'm so proud of you!' That's the role I wanted with my kids.

Success in training the boy depends largely on the Scoutmaster's own personal example.
