In my mind baseball is my primary sport. But that's not the world we live and coach in, so my second sport is baseball.

Head JH track. Best part about it is the season only lasts about 6 weeks. Bad part is we have about 175 little turds to deal with.

I chose not to look at any sport as my second sport. I put in the work no matter what season it is. If they are gonna pay us, we better show passion for whatever sport during whatever season we are in.

Expect the most out of your kids all the time. That's the difference between good and great programs, IMO. Preview

h3ll that's what we all do. Track is my second sport, and always will be. I'll tell anyone that too. That doesn't mean I'm going to give any less effort than I do in my primary sport.

It's baseball for me at the moment, which I'm none too pleased with. late practices and a million games... stupid daddy coach parents... my favorite 2nd sport I've ever had was wrestling, but then again I was the head coach and did what I wanted and got paid 4 stipends to do it.

I was hired to be a football coach. Track came along later. My job in track is more of an organizational job than anything. Teaching track can quickly become secondary to getting all the little jokers headed the same way at the same time. Very much like herding cats.

Speaking of track, do you think someone can be an expert at every event in track?

It's not what we all do. I guarantee you know somebody that doesn't work as hard in their second sport. I bring a chair to track meets. It holds my backpack till lunch break. Then me. Then my backpack till we are done again. If you are giving your all, then you are basically doing what I mean.

Yes they can. Just go to 3A and below track meet and you can watch about 30 of them running around like crazy. Stride, reach, get more hip action, drive, get out quick. Experts everywhere.

I know it all but the jumps. Fast kids that can hand off a stick are easy to coach. I used to be a bad track coach when I had slow kids. I finally started doing something right, because my kids are fast now.

I guess for me, since I coach year round, is I see how they all fit together. I try to push all 3 programs to strengthen the overall athletics of my school. My football kids will get to keep tackling by shooting double legs in the winter. My wrestlers will keep their endurance by running in the spring. My linemen will have better feet by throwing in the spring or leverage by wrestling in the winter. They are all an extension of the other.
