  2. Resume- Your current role is the optimal application for your next position. Treat it as the premier job that you’ve ever had to be the best assistant coach.

  3. Loyalty- Faithfulness is not a gray issue. You must adapt to the head position and support the decisions. Of course communication is key, but the buck stops with the boss.
