I think people who love the sport get burnt out from the sport when others dictate their involvement in it. cael and David are creative in some/many ways and they can’t be as creative in some environments. David has mentioned his high school training being great but not as mentally stimulating due to the repetition. Cael seems to be extremely innovative end you can’t innovate as much as you want when you aren’t in charge of a program. The tough part of coaching and parenting is that the primary goal is to foster great habits that stay with the child for a lifetime. Everyone often shortcuts this goal by lighting fires under kids that burn brightly but are extinguished as soon as the parent/coach’s bellow stops feeding the flames. as a coach you have to dictate others involvement in many ways, so there will always be places of push back or burn out or abandonment from athletes who aren’t taking every opportunity to improve. This is natural, but it is the art of coaching a high school closed community team.
