by | Oct 22, 2014 | Weekly Blog

There are many poor coaches, many good ones, and just a few excellent ones. How do you tell the difference?

This would bring welcome advantages to the coach, not least with regard to status, pay, working conditions, and employment protection. However, it would also impose regulation, structure, accountability, and responsibility. As a result many coaches may consider the disadvantages outweigh these advantages.
