Chapter 297 Using a Coach as an Assistant 3 (1/2)
Listening to Tiffany talk about someone who didn't care about training his own athletes, the first thing Jake thought was that this coach had no integrity and could be a fake pretending to be.
”I know what you must be thinking, it's not a scam or someone with no integrity, the situation is that this coach has some people issues that make him really need a job.”
”He is not a famous coach and tried to train some athletes who out of luck eventually failed and he needs a higher salary than a university or school can afford for him, so he must have been included in this list that I asked to do by mistake.”
So Jake understood what Tiffany was thinking, a coach usually dedicated to coaching an athlete to win multiple competitions beyond a salary he can receive depending on whether a player is affiliated with a professional team or even the state.
Even if a coach ended up working at a very good university he would receive an average of $ 45,000 a year, it would be different if he coached an American football team or an NCAA team.
If he needs a bigger salary than that he would need a lot of luck and could probably make some exceptions even if he was a very good coaching person, Jake was one who could, of course, pay far more than a university paid.
”So you're saying if I pay him well may not care even if I don't do my training?”
”Yes, that's what I think, besides, you miss some training because your circumstances are unique and everyone knows that you are an elite athlete even doing it for years, so paying well I think this coach can accept training you even without the commitment of other athletes.”
”It's great news really if I meet someone like that I won't have to worry about my training being ineffective, you can talk with that coach, Tiffany.”
”So as soon as I get back to Miami I'll call him to come here to talk to you.”
After that they talked a lot more and celebrated talking about how all things worked out at Clara's companies, Tiffany even said that she was quite happy to have someone like Jake partner with the company.
She also said how life was full of unexpected things, because of Matthew's recommendation that she herself had been against in the beginning she and Clara ended up meeting someone like Jake who had helped them so much.
After the conversation, Tiffany returned to Miami to settle the affairs of the company, just as she had said she had gone to college more to celebrate and talk to him because the subject she had could be said over the phone.
It was really good news she gave Jake, after all, he was starting to give up his idea of having a coach, after all, he knew well that his future days would be increasingly complicated and only for a few months in the year could he have more freedom.
So Jake thought it would be hard to find a qualified coach who would agree to work with him just because of a better salary, of course, he would still have to know that coach to know if he was really qualified.
Of course, he trusted the information that Tiffany was right, so he just had to wait for this coach to come to know what he really was like, so Jake decided to forget about it for now and focus on his training.
The Tar Heels team had 16 games this season in which they won 14 and lost only 2 games, at the ACC conference they lost only one and had 5 wins and came from a 5 win streak.
In this good season, the Tar Heels team was very strong and already considered one of the favorites to win the ACC tournament, after all, there were still a few months left to think about the NCAA tournament.
After a few more days they get ready for the next game, after a day more rest and having a home game the team Tar Heels was in high spirits for that game, after a few hours both teams were ready for the game.
The opponent of this game was the team Clemson Tigers that had been having a good season this year and had a strong team, they had a strategy of attack in the internal area as the team Tar Heels.
Even though they had good players there was no player who could unbalance in this game, so the Tar Heels team was confident in stopping the attack of the opposing team, Jake also preferred to score players who attacked inside than players who made three-point plays.
That's because it was easier for him to be able to defend and even get a steal against a player who made three-point plays, it was much easier to end up foul while in defense.
Just as Jake thought the Clemson Tigers team attacked more with in-house plays and thus made it easier for Tar Heels to make the save, in attack they had the advantage in individual confrontations and had Jake to make the three-point plays.
