I’D LIKE TO THANK ROB HOYT WHO IS THE HEAD COACH FOR THE COLUMBIA COLLEGE CLAIM JUMPERS IN SONORA, CALIFORNIA IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY CONFERENCE IN THE CCCAA IN JUCO BASKETBALL FOR SHARING ADVICE FOR YOUNG COACHES WITH THE CANNON NETWORK. HE SHARED, 2 PIECES OF ADVICE FOR YOUNG COACHES: 1: “SEEK MENTORSHIP, WHETHER THAT BE THROUGH AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON OR A SPECIFIC PROGRAM AT THE LEVEL THAT INTERESTS YOU THE MOST. MAKE SURE THE PEOPLE AND PROGRAMS YOU SEEK OUT ARE SUCCESSFUL. HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING THAT COACHING IS AN ENDLESS PURSUIT OF MASTERY THAT WILL NEVER BE ACHIEVED. READ BOOKS, LISTEN TO PODCASTS, CALL PROFESSIONALS, AND TAKE NOTES EVERY WEEK. 2: “SAFE TO SAY IN ANY LINE OF WORK, HOWEVER, THE GREATEST INVESTMENT IN COACHING IS WHO YOU DECIDE TO MARRY AND/OR SHARE THIS LIFE WITH.”
