The precursor to this chat was stemmed from two articles, namely Why Your Kid’s Coach Suck, and Why You Should Change and How to Pick a Good Sprint Coach (by Eric Dixon).

Last August’s Freelap Friday Five has an excellent interview with Dennis W. Mitchell from The University of Akron.

So in this installment, I ask the obvious question, How to Get a Job in Coaching as Derek is the Head Strength and Conditioning coach at a NCAA Division II school.
