What are the right reasons?
I am a varsity crew chief / white hat.
I work HS football as a challenge - to improve, do a good job, get better year after year. To develop my crew and get us better as a team.
I work youth football for the dinero.
They get a full effort from me (cause I wouldn't let anyone see me give less than my all), but I derive little actual enjoyment from it with the exception of getting my check at the end of the day.
For youth football to be a good development ground, there needs to be at least one official on the field who can lead and mentor others. Or one watching and providing leadership. Most times, I see youth games run by a crew who have nobody who can lead or mentor. Or guys who have one year of experience 30 times who wouldn't listen to even the best of advice.
