Coaches "wife"/Relationships

My girlfriend comes to all the games (the only exceptions are blowouts to be in poor weather conditions). She goes to the post-game gatherings. She actually likes going to games (college/pro), but hates watching them on TV.

She's had brothers who taught her the basics, and she's starting to pick up on some of the more detailed stuff (defensive positionss, names of each running back/receiver spot). She even knows all our coverages (which is better than a couple of coaches on staff.....).

I have the greatest coaches wife, in my opinion. We don't have kids, but she still takes care of everthing (except for cooking dinner, which is probably a good thing). She even put oil in her car the other day! She comes to every game, home and away. She was an athletic trainer, so she loves sports and loves being around athletes. She has a pretty good basic understanding of the game, and tries to learn new things from me all the time.

Its been an incredibly rough season for me. I don't care for the other members of the staff I am on, and our players are terrible, to put it nicely. She has been there for me every night after practice to vent. She knows that I need it when I get home and that when I get everything off my chest I can move on and enjoy what little bit of the evening is left. She tries to get to know at least my players. I think she loves being a coaches wife. She knows that I am going to working long hours during the season, and longer hours during the offseason. She knows that I am going to be on the road recruiting for all of December and January. She may not like it, but she knows that this is what I do and tries to support me in everyway she can.

There are a million other little things that she does that make her an awesome wife. I am sure that there are a ton of little things that she does that I am not even aware of. You can try to convince me, but I don't think that there is a better wife in coaching.

My wife is big in sports. She reminds me about her all-state rings, which I have none....

She is also our team doctor so she is on the sidelines with me... Which is not good when we are playing bad because she is giving me hell. (I am the DC) Great to have her there though because she is good about if nothing major wrong she will tell the kids to suck it up and get back in.


We have 3 girls (2,4,6) who love to go to Daddy's games. And they go to alot of practices too, when not cold or rainy. I am not around them much as I like but, our staff is great about family.

More of the realtionships part:

I dont have kids. My little sister is 16 years younger then me. While little girls her age were going to dance class and playing barbie, she was going to football camp/basketball camp. At 11 now, shes a warrior on the basketball floor.

I'll always remember her coming to elementry school basketball camp, being the only girl at camp and flat ballin' against boys in her class. Thats the stuff you remember most.

My wife is very supportive. We have a 6 month old son I work graveyard fulltime, go to school full time and coach almost full time(miss 2 days of practice for school). I make sure that if I don't have any studying to do that I clean the house, do the dishes, wash clothes while she's at work. Im in the middle of the semester and have test after test after test so sometimes I don't get to clean and she does it all. I need to tell her more often how GREAT she is. She attends all home games with our son. She to was a cheerleader in hs and doesnt understand the game that well but she tries.

My wife was an all-american athlete so she understands the time commitment, even if she doesn't always love it. Doesn't get to games as bed time for our son conflicts with kick-offs. She is usually ok with a vent session but every so often she will tell me to can it. Coaching one sport instead of the two I used to has earned me huge husband points. She knows in 2 weeks it will all be over.

My wife HATES football season. I think she went to 3 games this year, all home games. Which is fine because it is a chore to go to games with our two girls (4 months and almost 3 years old). Every year at the beginning of the season it seems like a struggle because of the time, by the end of the year she seems to get used to it.

Most of our issues with time is that I coach baseball and it runs directly into football season. Baseball in Iowa is a summer sport, and if you get to the state tournament you might get 3 days off before camp starts.

I guess I am one of the guys who has the perfect coaches wife. She was a cheerleader in high school but their school didn't have football. I started taking her to college football games when I was still in school and she loved the atmosphere.

She still doesn't know much about football, and hates the hours that it requires during the season. But during the summer she enjoys coming to the weight room to see the kids and bring them snacks. She attempts to learn every kids name so that she can "hollar" for them when we play.

Also during season and summer she always makes extra food for the just in case a player comes home with coach scenario. Also have kids who will stop by once a week just to eat supper with us and watch game film.

We just had our third kid(3 weeks old), first son, (two daughters 3 and 7) and she was not able to any games, so she appreciated me bringing home game film for her to watch this year. She still doesn't know much about the game, but enjoys watching the big plays and good hits. The look on her face when she knows the kid who is getting hit....priceless.

My biggest problem right now is that she would rather live in a bigger town. We have to drive almost an hour to get to a walmart. Where she grew up there were 2 in the same town.

I have always heard that behind every good man there is a great woman, I am so glad I found mine.

Behind every good coach is a good wife. I also feel that as a head coach you need to make sure your assonants wife's stay happy. I always get the wife and assistants wifes something at the end of the season. I thank them for sharing there husbands with me and the players. Also have dinners with the coaches and there wifes and family. I wish we made enough money to take them on a cruise or something like that. No love at home it will effect your coaching.

I consider myself to be blessed with one of the all-time great coach's wives. In 27 seasons, including 2 before we were married, she has missed two games, bringing our two girls to games from the time they were babies. Over the last 8 years she has done all of the work on our website, keeping it constantly updated. She has always been an active Booster Club member, and having the coach's wife there certainly helps to defuse any potential negativity. She really understands the time commitment that is necessary to be successful, and really picks up my slack from August to November. Of course, it's not always perfect - we always joke that the later in the season the "big blow-up" occurs, the stronger our marriage is!

I see we all have supportive wives and I do too but I need to b!tch about my dog..he doesn't even get his lazy a$$ off the sofa to greet me when I get home..man's best friend..my a$$

My wife really turned into a coach's wife this year. This is my second year coaching, but it took a heck of a lot more this year as I moved up to coaching 7th and 8th graders. She comes to most of my games and even makes an occasional appearance at practice, which always makes me smile. She is older than me and lived by herself before we met, so she is very self reliant and independent, so if something needs done around the house and I'm not around she'll do it. She likes football, had season tickets to the Uof I with her dad as a kid, but she doesn't know a lot and doesn't want to know a lot. Last year the time I put in bothered her a lot, but this year she finally got that this is what I want to do with my life. I have two great loves in my life and that is my wife and coaching, and she doesn't have an issue with that. I couldn't live without her and the fact that she accepts my other love is icing on the cake.

I have a great coaches wife. We have four children, three boys ages 13, 8 and 6 and a girl 12. She comes to every game, weather permitting, because the little boys just love it.

When I began dating her I was coaching college football and she actually went to the library and checked out books on football. It bugged her to not know what the split-back veer, and a 50 defense was. This was in the early 90's by the way.

Her father was the team doctor for TC Williams high school, "Remember the Titans", and she spent time on the sidelines back then.

She watches games on TV and supports me in every way. I think she would miss the relationship with the other wives if I ever got out because they all teach and are very close.

I do have it good.

My girlfriend loves football,and loves going to the games. She is very vocal about how bad we are this year,and lets it be known in the stands I have been told,as our defense is horrible. I guess she sat behind our HC father,mother,and wife,and she was ripping him a new one because our defense couldn't stop water going downhill.
I guess once our HC figured out who she was he was embaressed to tell me. When he did I told her,and her response was tell him to get his ship together because the defense he runs sucks doggy doo.
No I did not tell him that but when we were down 56-00 at halftime last week. We had four TD's called back on offese. I guess she said the HC should be fired. Hey it's her life,and she does have her 1st amendment and she can say what she wants.
