Without the Horses You Can't Win The Race! Part 11 5/3/2016 11:54:37 AM
Coaches hesitant to reply to blog thesis. The original thesis:
"I start this blog with a few questions: what constitutes winning when coaching an athletic team? What distinguishes the top teams from the average or bottom teams in term of their league/seasonal records? Are coaches only praised when their team records indicate a winning season? Does a poor record mean a bad job of coaching? And, the ultimate question becomes, what defines good coaching? I hope in these blog entries, to try to answer these and other questions through research including interviews of local,district and national coaches players and parents. Stay tuned, I'm not sure where this endeavor."
Having contacted coaches of various high school sport teams, I am coming to the conclusion that this may be a futile effort!
I'm thinking that either time is an issue or there is a hesitancy to respond on account of not wanting to hurt the feelings of past and present players, even though it has been said that all response would be anonymous.
I will send out additional invitations to these same coaches and a new grouping as well.
