How do you balance being a coach and a teacher? Do you feel that one takes more time or gets more attention than the other? What are techniques to creating that balance and having personal time for youself, but being a successful coach and teacher also? |

I think the most important part is not letting your coaching get in the way of your teaching, especially if you teach a core subject. When hired by a school, you are hired by a school as a teacher first, then as a coach (unless you're a head football coach in Texas). Regardless of the matter, coaching needs to be kept on the field/court, and not in the classroom. As far as managing your personal time goes...well you might be limited on that. Coaching sports, especially varsity athletics is a big responsibility and time commitment that you have to accept when you accept the coaching job. |
