Reply to "How to Let Coach Know You're Working On Your Own?"

I can only give my perspective as a HS Coach. If a young man came to me and said that he is working, I would appreciate the communication knowing that that the truth about that work will display itself in tryouts. IOWs if the young man were lying to me, they won't be able to measure up to the players I know were working. I'd also understand that this would benefit my program if the young man was working out. For me, I have never subscribed to the notion that my off season workouts are code for mandatory workouts. I never take roll and I let the team workout without me intervening. I do let the seniors run things and I sit in a chair.

(Caveat, I now am coaching HS softball but I did the same with baseball when I was he HC in Baseball.)
