Thanks to an older post by Jerry Weinberg I realized another similarity between coaching lacrosse and teaching testing.

The Weinberg Target is as follows: After exposure to my work, does the audience care less about the subject than they did before? If the answer is Yes, I’ve failed.

This is very similar to what we were told in the introductory coaching clinic: The measure of whether you were a success as a coach is not the number in the win coloumn, but the number of kids from this year’s team that register to play next year.
