I’D LIKE TO THANK SCOTT CROSS WHO IS THE HEAD COACH FOR THE GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA IN THE ACC IN NCAA DI FOR SHARING ADVICE FOR YOUNG COACHES WITH THE CANNON NETWORK. HE SHARED, “MY ADVICE FOR YOUNG COACHES IS TO BECOME A RESOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR COLLEGES THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN WORKING FOR ONE DAY. SEND THE STAFF INFORMATION AND EVALUATIONS FOR THE TOP RECRUITS THAT YOU THINK WOULD MAKE A GOOD FIT FOR THEM. LEARN HOW TO USE SYNERGY AND HUDL SPORTSCODE VIDEO SOFTWARE AND SEND THEM VIDEO BREAKDOWNS OF THEIR TEAM OR AN UPCOMING OPPONENT. SEND THOSE STAFFS SCOUTING REPORTS FOR UPCOMING OPPONENTS. BECOME AN EXPERT AT CREATING ADOBE PHOTOSHOP GRAPHICS AND SEND THE STAFF EXAMPLES OF YOUR WORK. STUDY THE GAME. BECOME SO VALUABLE TO A STAFF THAT WHEN THEY HAVE AN OPENING, THEY WILL KNOW THAT THEY NEED TO HIRE YOU!”
