Watch as Coach Andre Cook explains that if you want to pursue a career in coaching, you will need to make sacrifices. He discusses how the only people who truly understand the sacrifices you make are those who are also in the profession and their families. Being away from family and friends due to the time and effort required by coaching does indeed necessitate sacrifice. He recommends being fully present when at home with your family: put away phone calls, texts, and thoughts about the game, and focus on the present moment.
