In my 14 years my groups have absolutely dominated at what they did. And I say that not to toot my own horn (pun definitely intended there) but to give my kids the credit. I have found in my 14 years that I am not the greatest “coach”. But what makes my kids so successful is that they know I care. I don’t just make it about wins and losses. I invest in them morally and they know that I would do anything for them. Because of that they have complete trust in me and work unbelievable hard for me. They would eat nails for me if I told them it would make them better. I agree with you that I’m todays society it is about wins and losses. And if a coach wants to stick around they better understand that. But in my opinion the truly great coaches invest in the kids to achieve the wins. On the field and off. Again, no argument from me. I'm not downplaying the importance of what you do as a coach from a mentoring and influence standpoint. Just saying that society and expectations have changed and expect wins over everything else and much of it is about exposure that kids and programs get now.

Society expects the wins over everything else. But what society doesn’t understand is that it takes the everything else to get the most wins.
