VIII QUESTIONNAIRE:

Please respond honestly and thoroughly to the following questions. Include separate pages if necessary.

1.  Describe your coaching philosophy.

2.  Describe a “normal” practice and include in your answer your practice philosophy – if applicable.

3.  Describe how you would handle the following situation:

A disgruntled parent approaches you regarding his/her son’s playing time on the varsity team. The student in question played for you the previous year and performed well within a more prominent role as a starter and statistical leader. This season he has been asked to accept a role that brings much less recognition and playing time. It is obvious that this parent has an “agenda.”

4.  What are your long-term goals / aspirations?

5.  Why should we hire you? How will you make the Doherty Athletic Department better?
