In this episode Coach Darryl and RD parent Rick Spence dive into the relationship between a trainer and young basketball player.  Some parents think multiple trainers are needed to develop a basketball player. Allowing the specialty of each trainer to be developed within that athlete. However some trainers find this to be detrimental, because their job evolves from beginning to end. Trainers are in it for the long haul, so that makes being interchangeable impossible.

In a perfect world, a council of trainers would be they key to map out the young athletes entire career.  But we're not in a perfect world, so what do you do? As a parent, you've put in the work to find the right trainer who understands what your needs and goals are, so let your trainer create their masterpiece. The success of the child is their priority.
