Today we are joined by Candice Walls to discuss the transition from college to high school coaching. After a quick run down of how she got to the point to make the decision to move to Denver she dives into how the “coaching identity” was really hard to get over. She then shares with us how this transition is going, things she misses form her staff at U of L, and what she’s really excited about at this new position. There are unique challenges to every position, and Candice and I get to talk about many of those, and how there are pro and cons to working with younger athletes that have improved how both of us teach. We get into how communication has changes, especially in this COVID world, how quickly kids get “glassy eyed” and they “zoom out” when you’re going over things, and how being quick, to the point, and having them repeat it has been a great change.
