How do I manage…

• who watches my children while I am gone recruiting/traveling for games on weekends and nights when the daycare is closed? How can I pay for childcare?
• my role as a parent and as a coach? How do I balance giving my time to my children versus giving my time to my players?
• attending as many of my children’s activities as possible but still be effective as a coach?
• absences from my children’s activities due to coaching responsibilities?

How will I…

• incorporate my children into the program? Will their presence within the program become problematic?
• garner support within the program to assist in childcare? Are there members within the program who are connected with my children’s schools/activities?
• continue to make sure my spouse is supported during the season?
• continue to support my children in their interests outside my sport and program?
• continue to nurture my relationship with my spouse?
