Coaches inspire in a way that others do not. The intangibles (character traits, leadership skills, discipline, teamwork, etc.) taught by a coach can’t be defined in a curriculum nor measured in a standardized test, but in the lives of those you touch. Your lessons are often more valuable than anything else that could be learned by a student. Over and over we listen to stories from coaches that speak to amazing successes by students that might otherwise have been headed for a much more challenging life. Our mission in partnering with the Texas High School Coaches Association is to help all high school and middle school coaches in Texas plan for a rewarding career so that you can keep this valuable tradition alive.

It’s not the easiest job in the world.

You plan practices, watch film, fill out paperwork, sort out drama with kids and parents, run the concession stand and work with a booster club to raise money for the team - all after you’ve finished your job as a teacher for the day! The number one difficulty reported by high school and middle school coaches is balancing the demands of coaching and teaching. In Texas, hiring the best coach is a priority for schools, but fitting the perfect coaching candidate into the teaching needs at the school is a common challenge. Too often coaches are desperate to find a job and take the first one that comes without putting effort into evaluating all options. This is a recipe for a bad match that will probably have you looking again in another year or two.
