We all grew up and determined where our next step would be into adulthood. Some of us decided sooner than others.

Countless young boys and girls decide that sports is in their future; and many more than one would think actually enter into the field.

But because everyone’s high school star isn’t on ScoreCenter, people look past the functions and fundamentals that are all in place thanks to people who’s profession is sports.

And while there are obvious occupations like the professional athletes, their coaches, the front offices that hire them and the media that covers it all.

But it’s also the public middle school girls basketball coach because that’s all about love.

There’s no one that believes that the next step from that is anything but the junior varsity coach…because it is.

And the JV coach usually sits on the varsity bench, so the obvious next step would be to coach a varsity team, either taking over when the current varsity coach leaves for another job or retires or another school has an opening.

And if you’re doing all that, then you’re doing the thing you love as your profession.
