Your athletes ask you for advice.
Your athletes improve their PRs every year you coach them (barring injury).

Re: Signs you are doing a good job as a coach
I guess this is as good a thread as any to say that I missed the forum a lot. I used to be on here quite a bit while I was actively coaching but after leaving for military service I've had to take a hiatus from the vault and from coaching. Signs you are (in my case was) doing a good job as a coach: when your old athletes and parents call you to try and see you when you are home from deployment. 
What is nice about this sport is that I am responsible for most everything.
