Coaches,

I have an opportunity to coach for an excellent head coach. The only problem is he needs me in 3 weeks. They will only pay substitue pay for the rest of they year and will not pay me at all in the summer. The job is 13 hours from where I live. I will be living in the field house. I have a wife and two small children (3 yrs and 4 months) and they will not be able to join me until september. My question is what would you do? Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated.

Of course talk to your wife and then you will find the proper answer. Each family is different.

Coach,

I would stay where you are at right now. There will be other opportunities. Breaking up the family for such a long period of time is a tough thing to do, especially if your wife wants to go back to school. Plus, when you would be there you would be missing your wife and kids an awful lot. My wife and I had twins just before the playoffs started for us this past season. I missed both playoff games because my kids were a little premature and were in the hospital, and I don't regret for a second putting my family first. Choose what is best for the family.

Coach if its the right opportunity in your heart then go for it. I lived the first 6 months in the field house when I took the Head Coaching job in Victoria. Had to get the house sold before I could buy mine here. Go for it if this coach can help you further your career and it won't cause any family problems down the road. Coach CAmpbell

As a young coach myself, I would take the job. It would be extremely difficult to leave my wife, I don't have kids yet, for that long of a period of time. But, if it helps your career in the long run, go for it. Don't think about just the immeadiate affects. Think long term. Will this help you in the grand scheme of your career? From the sounds of it, yes. And you have to think about that. That's something I've had to learn in the past few years. Stop thinking short term and look at the ultimate goal. Work towards that. Your wife will understand, especially if you've talked about your career with her previous to this situation. Good luck.

Coach,
I would say don't do it. There would have to be an awful lot of good reasons for me to take that offer because ther are at least four good reasons not to. 1) leaving your wife. 2) leaving your kids. 3) leaving your wife alone with two young kids. 4) leaving your current job. People like to say "go for it" in these situations because they can always say they had a hand in it if turns out well... and they have nothing to lose.
Not to be trivial with a major decision... but there comes a time to punt, or take a safety...I would try for better field position and be ready to score next time, trust me, there will be more scoring opportunitites.
