The goals of a coach vary, depending on where you are coaching.
If you?re in the pros, you just win, and in the college ranks, you just win, while simultaneously promoting academics and responsible representation of the institution.
Coaching high school is different; it?s not just about winning ? it?s about protecting the love of the game and protecting the student-athlete?s health, both mentally and physically.
There are a variety of examples and stories of this, but one that hits close to home is the story of Bonneville soccer coach Mike Hickman and Laker senior Hayden White, who has Type I diabetes.
