In this first of a two episode series, we take a look at coaching scholastic athletes in the United States which is very different from the college athletic programmes in Canada (& perhaps in your part of the world if you are not living in North America). Episode two as you might guess will switch the focus to Canada which includes a chat with a long time and very successful college coach in the person of Jim Waite and his granddaughter Sadie who established a highly successful scholastic soccer career as a Corn Husker which means she played at Nebraska but now plays professionally in Ottawa for the Northern Super League's Ottawa Rapid.
