Coaches are the reason some schools have a more educationally based program than others. Coaches make the difference between a program of excesses and a program of education. Coaches are the critical link in the educational process of athletics, they are the critical link in the sportsmanship at contests, and they are the critical link in the traditions of success which some schools enjoy. It has always been so, and it always will be so. No one higher up or lower down the organizational chart has more impact on athletes than do coaches.
Coaches are the delivery system of educational athletics, and they deliver well .
You make the difference. Coach, this is educational athletics. It is more important that you see yourself as the teacher of students more than the coach of a sport.
