Some ppl on this social network have absolutely no concept of what it’s like to be a teacher in a mainstream classroom of 30+ students where a significant proportion have no interest in behaving well.

Parents,
If your child is on a team and you go to practice and see;
-coaches throwing slow, lazy passes to shooters or in drills
-coaches stopping practice to talk excessively and not Teach skills and actions
-wearing slides, flip flops or @HeyDudeShoes
- on the phone
MOVE ON

High School students should never have to pay to enter a home game at their own school. That’s what the whole experience is about… pack the stands and create a great environment. #allaboutthekids

This is why certified athletic trainers are NOT negotiable. High school sideline or NFL sideline. – at North Dakota, USA

Football and S&C have been very good to me. So I I want to pay that foward. Click the link to gain access to an entire year of our lifting. The only cost I will ever ask of you, is a retweet and to find a way to pay it foward to someone else today.

Football coaches for the most part have agreed that HS athletes are asked to do too much, and almost across the board have dialed back on summer demands. Now if the same parents that complain their kids are burned out would pull them from travel ball games, we might get somewhere

I asked a school principal, a football coach and business leader when their team became a powerful team. They all said when we served each other instead of ourselves. We before me!

Excessive focus on maxing out weight in a Power Clean can be counterproductive. Below are data from two sets. Athlete successfully completed all 6 reps but the heavier weight slowed the lift so much that power went down in the heavier set. Don’t assume that max weight=max power.

Athletics: the “window” to a high school. The public never sees what goes on in a math class.
Athletics: ONE PERCENT of a high school’s budget, 99% of a high school’s reputation.

I recently saw someone complain how about how schools spend all this money on athletics.
I think that people forget or are unaware that athletics and activities are the most effective at-risk program that a school implements.

No one really appreciates how exhausting it is to be a HS or college head coach on non game days. You're never not in charge. Never off the clock.
As intense as they may look on the sideline, in a lot of ways the game is the most stress free time a HC will experience all week.
