The coaching role

The coaches at the college work at the highest level and expect themselves to be a support for the individual player at all times. This means that they are constantly working to further develop their competencies in all areas. Thus, the coaches also act as mentors for the individual player. Players learn to rely on more than one coach, however, there will be a primary coach associated with each player.
