Personally - I also continued my education while I was coaching, attending night school and summer school, taking correspondence courses, etc.
LaVell EdwardsEarly in my career I determined that I would not bring the problems of my work home with me. For the most part, I have been able to do that.
LaVell EdwardsOne day I was complaining to Bill Coltrin about what I thought was an unfair article about our team. I was going to call the writer and complain to him. Bill told me, "If you plan to stay in this business (coaching), you need to realize a couple of things about the press. One, whatever is written, it will probably be forgotten in two or three days by the public; and two, if you complain or make an enemy of the writer, just remember you may have your 'day in the sun,' but he/she is going to press 365 days a year." I have never forgotten that.
