Called to Coach (Bay City Times)
May 30, 2012
Even for the best, coaching wouldn't be referred to as "easy" -- and many would argue that it's grown tougher as time commitment, financial need and parental influence all have increased.

Below are links to all three parts:
Part 1: Teaching young athletes is a high school coach's biggest reward
Part 2: High school coaches put in the time
Part 3: Support on the home front is crucial for a high school coach
