That’s why as a coach I place the mental health & wellbeing of players as my top priority. I always build up & encourage players. I also ask each player what I can do as their coach to help them be their best. I partner with players to create solutions that help themselves & the team as a whole. What I have seen is that most AD’s are still hyper focused on hiring coaches based on wins. I never hear of AD’s also placing a priority on how the coach treated former players or asking about how they prioritize the mental health & wellbeing of players during interviews. Not sure this will change anytime soon. It’s very unfortunate. I find this unfortunate and concerning. Coaches aren't mental health experts and are rarely trained in any way to provide the care or focus you are suggesting. This is not, nor should it be a coaches job. I think many coaches have gotten in trouble thinking that they can provide these services and gotten in over their heads. If this is the focus of an AD then they should be hiring counselors and not sport specialists for head coaching positions. Athletic programs are an extracurricular activity focused around competition and can cause stress, believe it or not that is ok. There is stress in academics, personal relationships, post-grad life and virtually every facet of your life. Sports in past generations has prepared student-athletes to be successful post-grad through these challenges, but now we are telling them that they should feel special all the time and stress is bad. I think we are doing an extreme disservice to our youth in telling them that they should not be stressed or tested at any time. As long as there is no mistreatment there is no problem in pushing athletes to be better without coddling them constantly. I don’t think they’re talking about stress in the normal sense. They’re talking about debilitating conditions. Stress can be very formative, yes, but not at the extremes. |

This article only scratches the surface. If people only knew. Tell us. Preferably in the thread about the article, and not here in the jobs thread. But that article was weak with very few specifics about “mistreatment”. |

He couldn’t take one winter in the Midwest. Based on some context clues, I think maybe they deleted and reposted the original tweet that Vball Freak shared? |

http://instagr.am/p/Coclx86s2Th This opens up the assistant coach position at Pitt. Wonder if Akeo will get it or if they’ll be looking for an external candidate. Either way, Pitt has an opening; assistant coach or DOVO |

Lindsey going to OSU opened an assistant position likely for a female candidate and that’s it. |

Lindsey going to OSU opened an assistant position likely for a female candidate and that’s it. I've heard Akeo is going to be moving back to coaching (was the Volunteer before becoming DOVO). Maybe Fisher will bring Lexis and Kamalani's sister in (recently left Syracuse) as the DOVO and complete the trifecta  |

Lee College (JuCo, Texas) has posted again on NCAA page. This is second, maybe third, posting ...
Are they having problems due to wanting someone with Masters to teach Kinesiology classes, or is it something else?

Maybe that person had other ideas? |
