Jim McClowry explains his onboarding musts regarding bringing new coaches up to speed, being organized, and saving time. He is email-ready, which prevents him from constantly needing to draft new emails to coaches. He has his coaching mentors ready to assist new coaches and a bank of free and purchased NFHS classes for the new coaches to utilize. He uses "hafta meets" to ensure new coaches meet everybody, specifically administrators and key personnel that will help the new coaches get off on the right foot. He has a follow-up/check-in process that involves a time frame for scheduled meetings and the topics that will be discussed.
