Need some good professional advice on this situation.
I have been a HC and Coordinator before at the varsity level. Took a job for one of my old coaches. He placed me as the middle school head coach. It is a private school situation and I knew that this may happen. Have a ton of respect for the coach so I did what was needed. Still want to advance and be a Coordinator or HC someday.
Here is my question.
Will being a Middle School coach hurt my chances of advancing in the future on the Varsity level. I know that feeder programs are important but I was wondering what some experienced coaches out there think.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It will hurt you if you're not any good at coaching. But if you show success with your team, within reason, at your age, you should eventually be offered another position. Some people say, "Bloom where you're planted." I coached middle school for a number of years when my kids were small because of the time issue. You know, Varsity HC usually don't have a life. Than, went back to varsity coaching after a few years. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't, you can't. That simple. Don't be impatient, your time will come. OJW
