The Head Coach’s Duty to the Staff

My responsibility to our staff is to set the standard for the program and hold us all to that standard in everything we do, no matter what.  I will do that through mentorship and accountability every day. I want to help prepare each coach to become the best versions of themselves in whatever ideal they are seeking.
