New Head Coach to existing team

[holygrail]

First of all Congrats on the new role. It is a big, but very rewarding job. All of the other posts are excellent advice, but in the end, it all depends on how much you want to take on and the level of experience, expertise, and resources your team has.

I was in almost the exact same situation last year...New coach with a young inexperienced team. Thankfully the previous coach had done a great job helping me get set up for success. My advice, set reachable and attainable goals as a team. Don't bite off more than you can effectively organize and plan for, and do those things well. Delegate the stuff that you can to others. As for the paperwork, just get a good calendar and make sure to read the email blasts. It isn't as bad as you think.

I have a bunch of documents, tips and tricks I leaned the hard way last year that I would be happy to send your way. Just pm me.
