915 Athletic Directors Responded to the survey sent by Coaches Insider

It is interesting to see that email and phone/ text make up 49% of how coaches are communicating with their with student-athletes.
It seems from these statistics that coaches still feel more comfortable communicating via email / phone / text. |

Remember, these statistics are from 4 weeks ago. Since this school year has been cancelled and most states are on a stay-at-home restriction, coaches are probably communicating more with their student-athletes .

It would seem that guest speakers would be part of an overall plan to help excite the players and/or provide educational role models and mentors. In addition student-athletes could write letters, deliver groceries, and make ZOOM calls to hospitals, senior community centers and/or any demographic that is at high risk and unable to leave their homes.

I have trained these athletes prior to COVID-19. Now they are on Zoom meetings on Friday and Sunday: FUN with co-host Jentry Allen, who is a senior going to college this fall. 15 guest speakers were invited to share their experiences they include Olympians, Performance Trainer, Yoga Trainer, former Collegiate coaches, former collegiate athletes and current professional athletes. Each 40-minute session includes the guest speaker who provides their expertise and ends with a Q & A. Each session player displays their virtual background that includes their quote and what it means to them. They end with a 30-second video of their high school or club workout . Our current monthly challenge is the highest number of double unders as well as highest number single jumps in 1 minute.
