There has been a long-standing debate/disagreement about the club coach’s presence in the athlete’s life once that athlete begins participating in school sports, whether it is track & field, baseball, basketball or tennis. The club coach has played an integral part in the athlete’s life, probably since a very young age. Therefore, when it comes time for the athlete to participate on their high school team, put on a different uniform, it is sometimes hard to stand back and let someone else take over all they have built.
