Coaches,

I may not have the opportunity to coach this fall due to my job situation

What are some things I could do to keep my coaching skills sharp.

I may volunteer to scout/break down game film for a local team.
What are some other things I could do, so that I don't get behind when I start coaching again?

One Coach's Prayers
God commands us to be glad

Reading books is always a great idea. Honestly, your coaching skills will always be sharp, its the knowledge you must update/refresh.
