Hello. I have been asked to AC a HS team for this year. HC of 5 years is very open to ideas/suggestions. She has made real improvements over time. Current AC's are young and energetic, and they need another.
The challenge as I see it is to take a program with a long history of losing and turning it into a winner. I could elaborate but I want to be positive. Now, let's say that real turnarounds don't happen overnight. I understand that. Seeds were planted years ago in the feeders, and the talent is actually pretty strong at this school currently. The talent hasn't broken the tradition yet though, and players just don't EXPECT to win until they go play with their travel teams. We need a turn around year in the worst way at this school! Thoughts?
