…there were thousands of coaches that yearly covered the Hotel Lobby floor at the AFCA convention, with a pocket full of business cards, a drink in their left hand, and their right hand poised… ready to shake the hand of the next coach they were introducing themselves to.
Networking… the old fashioned way.
This will all begin anew next week in Indianapolis as the nations coaches descend upon the Indiana Convention Center.
If you have not ever had the opportunity to attend the national convention of the American Football Coaches Association, I would put it on your bucket list.
You Can Do More… your brain is lying to you…. Don’t Believe It!

Well said. Got to work the lobby!
Reblogged this on You Can Do More! and commented:
Louisville, Kentucky is the site of the 2015 AFCA National Convention, which takes place this week.
I was fortunate to be in Louisville this weekend and witnessed the annual excitement of ball coaches from all over the country arriving, checking in to hotels, getting the skinny on the local nightlife, and most of all, networking… the old fashioned way.
I have written several posts referencing the AFCA Convention, and will be re-running them this week. Most were from quite a while ago, so they have been buried with 200+ more recent posts and can be difficult to find. All are still relevant.
If you are at the convention, enjoy and do me a favor. If you read my blog, and like the content… share it (youcandomore.net) with a colleague in the lobby!
