At Widener, we have been working on a concept that has drawn attention coast to coast and internationally, The Accelerator Technique.

In the Spring, the coaching carousel slows down and you can reflect upon the lessons learned from this turbulent time of the year when coaches are hired, fired and moving from place to place at an unprecedented pace. In speaking with an Athletic Director friend of mine, he made mention that he wondered if football coaches are ever really happy where they are…
