I somehow talked my 6 year old onto a 9U baseball team and made sure the coach knew I understand he's not gonna get in much, but just coach his ass during practice and I'm good with it. They got their first W today and he didn't see the field at all in 2 games. He comes out of

Had to cut ties with 2 of our football players today. Countless chances to fix their behavior and buy into being better people. Reached a point where they have declared they aren't even trying to do right things. Our program will not be one where active disobedience is allowed.

"They say team A won". Asked him what the front of his jersey said, "team A" he answered... see, you won!

Dear Internet,
I would like for my son to be coached and taught by people who demand more than the minimum and being "good enough" is not allowed or even allowed to be asked. My kids are too young for them to play for Izzo at MSU but I hope to raise kids who want to be coached.

We live in a world where we expect a full-grown man to apologize for hitting a ball over the fence against another full-grown man. If you wonder why we have so many issues, just let that one sink in. My kid is 7 and if he gives up 4 on a 3-0 count I'm telling him to pitch better!

First "practice" with a new team last night... taught how to huddle, taught how to behave in a huddle, how to call plays in the huddle, how to break the huddle and get to the LOS, our base formation rt/lt, and the basic snap count. Amazing how 90% of that is foreign to kids now.

Letting the other team score on purpose to let them go up by 1 with less than 2 min on the clock isn't as fun to call as the HC as when you watch on TV... but we went down and punched it in with 5 sec left to win. 1st time with 3 wins for this program in almost 10 years.

Anyone in SLC area with dress shirts and ties that they can part with, we are in need for my football players. Handed out 20 shirts/ties today to kids who don't own one so they can wear it on gamedays to school. Having extras will help so they don't wear same one every time.

My favorite are the teams that use wristbands and yell "110" and kids check their armbands, then run OZ... 2 plays later "110" and it's OZ again. Next time I hear "110" I'm yelling, "oz" and sending 4 off the edge.
Throw me in football jail I guess

maybe... just maybe, someone who majored in chemistry, has taught it for almost 2 decades, and is working with your child for hours each day to teach it to them might know better than you how good your kid is at chemistry. Teachers shouldn't have to put up with 90% of what we do

They are 1-3... message doesn't change. Self-awareness that you probably aren't the best player going in and not focusing on anything other than getting better and supporting the team win or lose is what matters. Winning is fun, losing isn't, but COMPETING is what it is all about

People are willing to use football as a way to a $500,000 scholarship are the ones complaining about the long term effects. If you want your kid to work at McDonalds for 50,000 hours instead, that's fine. But leave football for those who know it is the last team sport left

Here is a pic of our presnap shift system... depends on what you are trying to do. If you really want to go from one specific formation to another, build it into the gameplan or you have to give a formation, then say the "shift to" and then the final formation. It's wordy.

run off many of the adults in your child's life actually trying to teach them that an A- or B+ is very good, but there is still some room for improvement to be REALLY good at something. I am not the best teacher in the world, but I know that and am always trying to get better.
