This episode comes straight from all of you, I’ve had many people ask me to talk about having alternates on the team. It’s a tricky situation, mentally and logistically but I didn’t feel like I could talk about this topic on my own. Instead, I interviewed 5 successful high school coaches to get their insights and perspectives on using alternates in their programs. As I hoped and expected, there are some themes running through the interviews, but also some unique ideas and different approaches. 

Here are some highlights:

[1m 58s] Kevin Mathis, Lake Central High School, Indiana

[12m 22s] Ta Fett, formerly Frazee High School, Minnesota

[23m 30s] Jennifer Cryder, Joliet West High School, Illinois

[38m 17s] Renee Buchholz, DC Everest, Wisconsin

[52m 46s] Jana Blue, formerly Denver East High School, Colorado

[1h 04m 28s] Chelsea’s summary
