I am a big "what if" guy and as I am setting out my five year Coaching goals the number one thing that I have on there is to win a State Championship. I am not at a school that is big enough to ever be considered for the National Championship, so here is my problem that I would like some help with: What happens if/when I win my State Championship? I know that logically I should think, "start planning to win it again the next season" but, for those who have won it more than once, is the second time as good? Do you try to get a job at the next level, whether it is at a larger high school or possibly college? I've always been a person who is not content. I want to be a better Christian, father, husband, and football coach but I don't know what is going to happen after I achieve my top coaching goal. In my priority list, Coaching is the only thing where success can be measured (although I completely agree that you can be very successful as a coach but not have the numbers in the Win column and believe in the saying that "some of my best coaching was done when my team did the worst"). Obviously I am aware that I should consider myself incredibly lucky should I be able to bring home a Championship but I believe that it will be a goal that will be achieved. I am also aware that I shouldn't get that worked up about a second Championship when I really need to focus on getting that first one (the "live in the now" argument), which I would say I am living in the now but I am also preparing for tomorrow. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks, thanks for your time.
