Held exit meetings with my players and asked each of them to rate their individual season on a scale from 1-10. One player rated his season a 10. When I asked why, his response was, “Because I had fun.” For kids it’s often that simple. It’s we adults who complicate it…

I’ve had a few refs say that to me and I can’t do anything but respect them when they do.
How come refs can’t admit they missed a call? I’ve never heard a ref say ‘ Coach, my fault, I missed that one.’ It would go a long way. Plus it shows maturity and confidence.

At an AAU game I had a dude come tell me I need to move my son cause it’s hard to “make it” out of McDonough. Clearly he didn’t realize who I was. The way the southside is painted is sad. Folks just straight lie to these kids and parents.
Kids live 5 miles from Creekside but would rather Uber 45 mins to the north side. They didnt take the time to learn abt our AVID program being one of the best in the Nation, or our Agricultural program breaking barriers. We don’t just play football & March in the band
