This headline is all too common in our close-knit coaching circles. There are times the coaches were placed on leave for valid reasons.
But after reading plenty of articles with the words: “alleged verbal abuse and mistreatment of players”, most recent case on January 21st (read here). You will find examples of mistreatment outlined by players, including:
- Running a player(s) as punishment
- Splitting up the team due to travel restrictions
- Taking phones during road trips
- Not praising a player for doing something right
The coaches that ‘survive’ either have an athletic director that put their job on the line to support the coach or have DOCUMENTED their coaching successes and player issues.
We can’t change your Athletic Director, but we can help you document. It’s easy, affordable, and it will give you peace of mind.
