Coaches Survival System - 4 Proven Frameworks to Save 10+ Hours/Week, Build Credibility Fast & Leave Work at Work

🥎 Stop Working 70+ Hour Weeks and Start Coaching Like You Have a Life

The 4-System Framework That Helps Coaches Reclaim 10-20 Hours Per Week Without Sacrificing Team Performance

👋 Let me guess...

You became a coach because you love the game and you love developing athletes.

But somewhere along the way, coaching became… everything.

✉️ You’re answering emails at 10pm 📅 You haven’t had an uninterrupted family dinner in months 😴 You’re the first one in and the last one out 😰 You feel guilty every time you try to set a boundary

Sound familiar?

Here’s what nobody tells you when you take a coaching job:

❌ You’ll spend more time on admin work than actual coaching ❌ Your AD will expect you to be available 24/7 ❌ Parents will text you at 9pm about playing time ❌ You’ll delegate tasks and then redo them yourself because “it’s faster” ❌ You’ll start wondering if this career is even worth it

And the worst part? You’ll start to believe this is just what coaching is.

Spoiler alert: It’s not.

💔 The Breaking Point

I know this because I lived it.

In my 25 years as a head coach, I’ve worked the 70-hour weeks. I’ve answered emails on Christmas. I’ve said yes to every committee, every meeting, every request—because I thought that’s what “commitment” looked like.

And you know what happened?

I burned out. Hard.

And I wasn’t a better coach for it—I was a resentful, exhausted shell of the leader my athletes deserved.

Here’s what I learned the hard way:

Working more hours doesn’t make you a better coach. It makes you a tired coach.

The coaches who thrive for 20+ years aren’t working harder. They’re working smarter.

They’ve built systems that protect their time, their energy, and their sanity—so they can show up fully present when it matters most.

And that’s exactly what I’m going to teach you.

📖 Introducing: THE COACHES SURVIVAL SYSTEM

The 4-Pillar System That Helps You Reclaim Your Time, Set Boundaries Without Guilt, and Coach at Your Best—Without Burning Out

This isn’t theory. This isn’t fluff.

This is a proven, step-by-step system built on 25 years of coaching experience—tested in the real world, in the chaos of game days, recruiting trips, and budget meetings.

Inside this 40+ page guide, you’ll discover:

🥎 The Priority Pyramid – How to identify your “Big 3” priorities and protect them ruthlessly (so you stop drowning in busywork)

🥎 The Delegation Highway – A simple framework for delegating without guilt, micromanaging, or redoing everything yourself

🥎 The Boss Relationship Blueprint – How to manage up so your AD trusts you, supports you, and leaves you alone to do your job

🥎 The Boundary Framework – How to say no without feeling selfish, protect your personal time, and silence the guilt that comes with it

📚 What's Inside The Guide:

🎯 PILLAR 1: THE PRIORITY PYRAMID Stop drowning in the 80% of tasks that don’t move the needle.

You’ll learn:

• The 80/20 Audit (track your week and identify which tasks are actually worth your time) • How to identify YOUR Big 3 priorities (the only things that matter for wins, development, and job security) • The calendar blocking strategy that protects your most important work • How to overcome “But I can do it faster myself” syndrome • The dopamine hack that trains your brain to crave Big 3 work

💡 Real Talk: Most coaches spend 15 hours/week on tasks that could be delegated. This pillar helps you get those hours back.

🤝 PILLAR 2: THE DELEGATION HIGHWAY Delegate without guilt, micromanaging, or redoing it all yourself.

You’ll learn:

• The Delegation Decision Matrix (what to delegate, to whom, and when) • The exact scripts to use when handing off tasks (copy-paste ready) • How to train student managers and team captains to own responsibilities • The 5-step delegation conversation • Why “training takes time” is the best investment you’ll make

💡 Real Talk: Delegation isn’t dumping work on others. It’s developing leaders while protecting your capacity to do what only YOU can do.

👔 PILLAR 3: THE BOSS RELATIONSHIP BLUEPRINT Build trust with your AD so they support you, advocate for you, and get out of your way.

You’ll learn:

• The 3-1-1 Formula for weekly check-ins (15 minutes that build trust all year) • How to deliver bad news without losing your AD’s confidence • The “no surprises” communication strategy that prevents micromanaging

💡 Real Talk: Your relationship with your AD can make or break your job satisfaction. This pillar helps you manage up like a pro.

🛡️ PILLAR 4: THE BOUNDARY FRAMEWORK Set boundaries without guilt, protect your personal time, and stop apologizing for having a life.

You’ll learn:

• How to set boundaries with athletes, parents, and your AD • The exact language to use when saying no (without sounding selfish) • How to handle “You’re not committed enough” accusations • Why boundaries make you a BETTER coach (not a worse one) • How to protect your day off, your evenings, and your family time • The emergency contact protocol (so you’re available when it matters, unavailable when it doesn’t)

💡 Real Talk: Boundaries aren’t selfish. They’re sustainable. This pillar helps you silence the guilt and reclaim your life.

✅ Who This Is For:

🥎 First-year coaches who feel like they’re drowning and don’t know where to start 🥎 Early-career coaches (Years 1-5) who want to build sustainable habits before burnout hits 🥎 Burnt-out coaches who are working 70+ hour weeks and wondering if it’s worth it 🥎 Coaches transitioning to head coach roles who need to learn how to lead, delegate, and manage up 🥎 Any coach who’s tired of feeling guilty for wanting work-life balance

❌ This Guide Is NOT For:

If you believe 80-hour weeks are a badge of honor, this isn’t for you. If you think boundaries = weakness, this isn’t for you. If you’re not willing to delegate or change your habits, this isn’t for you.

But if you’re ready to work smarter (not harder) and reclaim your life? Keep reading.

🎁 What You'll Walk Away With:

After reading The Coaches Survival Guide, you’ll be able to:

✔️ Identify your Big 3 priorities and protect them ruthlessly ✔️ Delegate tasks without guilt, micromanaging, or redoing them yourself ✔️ Build trust with your AD through consistent, proactive communication ✔️ Set boundaries with athletes, parents, and your boss—without apologizing ✔️ Reclaim 10-20 hours per week to spend on what matters most (coaching, family, yourself) ✔️ Feel confident that working smarter (not harder) makes you a BETTER coach

Most importantly: You’ll stop feeling like you have to choose between being a great coach and having a life.

You can have both.

💬 What Coaches Are Saying:

“This guide gave me permission to set boundaries I’ve been afraid to set for 3 years. My AD actually THANKED me for being more proactive about communication.” — Sarah M., Softball Coach

“I saved 8 hours in my first week by using the delegation scripts. My assistant coaches are happier, my captains are more engaged, and I’m actually leaving work at 6pm now.” — Jennifer K., Volleyball Coach

“I wish I’d had this on Day 1. It would have saved me from burning out in Year 2. This is required reading for every new coach.” — Amanda R., Soccer Coach

Here’s the deal.

I could charge $97 for this guide. That’s what a single hour of 1-on-1 coaching costs, and this system took me 25 years to figure out.

But I didn’t write this to make a fortune. I wrote it because I’m tired of watching talented coaches burn out and quit because they think this is just “how coaching is.”

So here’s what I’m asking:

🥎 Just $27.

That’s it. $27 for the complete 4-pillar system that will save you 10-20 hours per week for the rest of your coaching career.

Do the math: • If you reclaim just 10 hours/week, that’s 520 hours/year • 520 hours = 13 full weeks of your life • For $27, you’re getting your LIFE back

Less than the cost of dinner out. A one-time payment. Instant access. No subscription.

Here’s my promise to you:

Read the guide. Implement the strategies. If after 30 days you don’t feel like you’ve reclaimed at least 5 hours per week, just email me and I’ll refund every penny.

No questions asked. No hoops to jump through.

I take all the risk. You take none.

Why am I so confident?

Because this system works. I’ve used it for years. I got my life back. I'm happier, more fulfilled, and my players love my newfound energy and positivity because I'm not stuck in the office or working non-stop. I’ve taught it to dozens of coaches. And I’ve watched them reclaim their time, their sanity, and their love for coaching.

It’ll work for you too.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this just for first-year coaches? A: Nope! While first-year coaches will find this invaluable, this system works for coaches at ANY stage. I’ve had veteran coaches tell me they wish they’d learned this 10 years ago. If you’re working too many hours and feeling burnt out, this is for you.

Q: I coach [sport]. Will this work for me? A: Yes! While I’m a softball coach, the 4-pillar system applies to ANY coaching role—softball, baseball, basketball, soccer, volleyball, track, you name it. The principles of priority management, delegation, managing up, and boundaries are universal.

Q: Is this a physical book or digital? A: It’s a digital PDF (40+ pages) that you’ll get instant access to after purchase. You can read it on your phone, tablet, computer, or print it out if you prefer hard copies.

Q: What if I don’t have assistant coaches to delegate to? A: Great question! The guide includes strategies for delegating to student managers, team captains, admin staff, and even volunteers. You don’t need a big staff to implement this system.

Q: Will this actually save me time, or is it just more work? A: Fair concern. Here’s the truth: Implementing these systems takes a small upfront time investment (maybe 2-3 hours total). But once they’re in place, you’ll save 10-20 hours EVERY WEEK. It’s the best return on investment you’ll ever make.

Q: What if my AD expects me to work 24/7? A: The Boss Relationship Blueprint (Pillar 3) addresses this head-on. You’ll learn how to set expectations, communicate proactively, and manage up in a way that builds trust WITHOUT sacrificing your boundaries. Many coaches find their ADs actually PREFER this approach once they try it.

Q: Do I need to implement all 4 pillars at once? A: Nope! The guide is designed so you can implement one pillar at a time. Most coaches start with Pillar 1 (Priority Pyramid) or Pillar 4 (Boundaries) and build from there. Go at your own pace.

Q: What’s your refund policy? A: 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If you read the guide and don’t feel like it’s helped you reclaim at least 5 hours/week, just email me and I’ll refund every penny.

⚡ The Bottom Line:

You have two options.

Option 1: Keep doing what you’re doing.

Work 70-hour weeks. Answer emails at 10pm. Feel guilty every time you set a boundary. Watch your relationships suffer. Wonder if coaching is even worth it anymore.

Eventually, you’ll burn out. Maybe you’ll quit. Maybe you’ll stick around but become a shell of the coach you wanted to be.

Option 2: Invest $27 and learn the 4-pillar system that helps you work smarter, not harder.

Reclaim 10-20 hours per week. Delegate without guilt. Build trust with your AD. Set boundaries that protect your sanity. Show up fully present for your athletes, your family, and yourself.

Become the coach you’ve always wanted to be—without sacrificing your life to do it.

The choice is yours.

But if you’re reading this, you already know which option you want.

🥎 One Last Thing...

I didn’t write this guide to get rich.

I wrote it because I’ve watched too many talented, passionate coaches burn out and quit—not because they weren’t good enough, but because they didn’t have a roadmap for sustainability.

You don’t have to be one of them.

For less than the cost of a tank of gas, you can get the system that will change your coaching career—and your life.

Don’t wait until you’re burnt out to invest in yourself.

Your athletes need you at your best. Your family needs you present. And you deserve a life outside of coaching.

Let’s make it happen.
