Making Good Coaches, Great Teachers!

Heat-related illness and death are on the rise. Heat stroke, a severe form of heat-related illness, is one of the three leading causes of death in athletes and is most likely the leading cause among athletes in July and August. And yet, heat illness is largely preventable.

| Co-Head Coaches in Youth Football? |
|
 Written by Dave on August 9th, 2010
In a handful of youth football programs, instead of having a Head Coach the head of the organization assigns co-head coaches. While it can work, in most cases it is going to be a disaster. Assigning co-head coaches is usually the result of the commissioner not being able to make a decision, or some type of last minute politics.
