Here are some notes from when Illinois State head coach and former Tennessee and NC State assistant coach Stephanie Glance spoke in Chicago during the Assistant Coaches Symposium on May 1st. Coach Glance has great insight from being a lifelong assistant coach to now sitting in the role of head coach.
Spent 22 years as an assistant coach.
She thanked all of the coaches in attendance and said it shows that you care about your profession.
Don’t miss all of the opportunities you have as an assistant.
No such thing as over organization.
Over organize your head coach.
