What is coaching about? Championships or People?
Former Georgia Football Coach Mark Richt believes it's about people

"Leadership isn’t singular. No one leads alone"

At your preseason meeting give parents a chance to write you a private note on the following questions:
1 – Does your son/daughter have a learning style that I need to be aware of?
2 – Is there anything going on in your son/daughters life that would be helpful for me to know?
3 – What life lessons are you currently teaching them in your family that I can support?
50% PLAY RULE:
AS ALWAYS the 50% rule is in effect: Players (unless injured/sick) are required to play at least 50% of the game. If you have a player that isn’t feeling well PRE-GAME or DURING THE GAME, this must be brought to the attention of the referee in charge.
