Leslie Slovak explains what she looks for in hiring coaches. It is very important to her that candidates have a love for kids. Her favorite question to ask head coach candidates is what their greatest success story is and what their hardest and most challenging moment as a coach was. She looks for answers about relationships and the impact coaches have on the kids. Her role is to help coaches grow, and if that doesn't work out, then they must go. She stresses the importance of winning in the right way, by following all of the rules and not working in gray areas.
