It’s been said that behind every good man is a good woman. Truer words have never been spoken. Behind every coach is an incredible woman. The wives of coaches are the unsung heroes in sports, and this week’s post is dedicated to them.
There are many difficult things about being married to a coach but the most difficult has to be being a single parent on many nights. During the basketball season it is not uncommon for a coach to be away for three or more nights during the week. This can be tiresome, especially if you have a rambunctious toddler and are pregnant with another child; as my wife is. Coaches’ wives work full days and then have to take the kids to the game or take care of them all night. It can be an exhausting role.
Being married to coach means you are in for many lonely nights. The head coach is normally not finished with duties until an hour or so after the game. Then you add in travel time home, and all of it is extended if it’s an away game.
