Teaching players during practices was what coaching was all about to me.

If you're a coach, you're a teacher.

I think training of better Youth Coaches is essential.

I got an old school coach who's more of a teacher than a coach.

What is a coach? We are teachers. Educators. We have the same obligations as all teachers, except we probably have more influence over young people than anybody but their families. And, in a lot of cases, more than their families.

I definitely believe our coaches are now leading more and learning more. They are hungry in terms of getting the athletes to improve. I believe it's now more mental than anything else, and I'd like to assist in that area.

I learned a long time ago how to be coachable.

I think players changing coaches is normal.

I do think coaches need to get away from the game more, though. It's good for them.

We need to educate our elite coaches more and have a better approach to teaching the athletes about how to be healthy rather than berate them, humiliate them, use tactics that could scar them for life.
