I'll give the scenario and would like comments on how you would react to this.
I've applied for a rep level coach. I've applied as co-coach with another woman and we're quite happy with that arrangement. Both of us have our coaching level 1. I've been coaching since I was 15 (so around 13 years) at a U12 age group. I'm applying for an under 13 team. However I live in a different state to where I grow up. I currently assistant coach on the weekend, and have for the past two years as a result of work committments. I can't be there every Saturday, so I do it with a friend who can.
I did the interview, which barely had any questions. Just going over my coaching history. Today, in front of the girls, it was advised they were all in the squad and that me and the other woman would be assisted by other 'senior coaches' who would be teaching us at the same time. I didn't apply for that. I applied for coach. I don't NEED to be taught how to coach girls of this age. I've been doing it since I was a teenager!
Would anyone else find this insulting? Should I suck it up for the year, try and learn some more things (even though most of the people who I know they will bring down have lower levels than I do) and hope next year I'll be 'trusted' to coach by myself? I'm on the verge of handing in my resignation.
