Speaking from personal experience, athletes from any discipline will have something to complain about displeasure in the coach’s leadership style or training philosophies. Regardless of a coach’s effectiveness to perform their duties, sometimes all it takes is one person with a toxic personality, a narcissist, to really ruin a group of people’s perspective of a coach. Nowadays there’s overcompensation for catering to the needs of students, regardless if they provide ungrounded claims to admin.
I can’t wrap my brain around why people here can’t understand and support other coaches knowing that the job involves battling all kinds of sh** from multiple fronts - lack of support from admin, budgetary constraints, team drama, etc.
