Ronnie Plyler discusses the four key points he believes help ensure that his school's coaches are prepared to impact today's student-athletes.
- Know your constituents: survey kids and parents.
- Communicate and ensure that coaches do: as the AD, you must communicate with your coaches and they must communicate with the athletes and parents.
- Make professional development a priority: included in all coaching contracts.
- Be current: be involved in their lives and stay curious.
