re: Player development question

I was on a team with a coach who hired a trainer to take care of our practices typically while he was the one making in game coaching decisions and the trainer rarely watched us play.

This would be the arrangement at the second club, only the trainer(club president) does attend games and watch from a distance. He would take over practice every other week(trade weeks with the mgr/coach) to teach both the players and the coach.

The first club coach wouldn't hire a separate trainer… not necessarily a raging douche, but probably has ego. The great trainer is president of competing club so it's against the rules anyway.

None of the coaches or trainers anywhere near here teach the game like this trainer does. It's pretty pathetic for a state with a lot of players. I have looked around at various clubs looking for a good trainer/coach and have been severely disappointed.
