I remember someone on here mentioning this documentary, and how shocking it was to see the behavior of both the star player and coaches. I did a search and couldn't find another place to post this, but I found a good 10 minute clip of the movie...
BEWARE: VULGAR AND EXPLICIT LANGUAGE
How would this behavior be taken in your area?

Unreal. and that coach was not fired and arrested for fighting a player on the field because? The more I see of these clips the more it starts to resemble evidence in a trial against those coaches for gross negilance of duties.

this title is ALMOST an accurate reflection of what it should be called...
"Year of the Bull Crap"

Understand fellas, that I am not condoning anything the coaches did or said. For those of us that have coached in an inner city school, you understand. For those of you who have not had the pleasure, it is a complete different world. There are things done and said in inner city schools that simply do not happen in rural areas. I have a ton of stories from my one year spent in the inner city. I loved it. It was the most rewarding year I have had in my 14 years. I would have stayed there but gas prices got out of hand. Travelled 121 miles one-way. I did not like the physical nature, but I do remember a few times where we had to be that way. It is the only means of communication some of our kids knew. I will tell you this. Even though, the coach attacked the kid, That same kid will fight to the death for his coach. There is a term LOYALTY that our kids had for those they loved and loved them unconditionally.

It is the only means of communication some of our kids knew. Which is exactly why people shouldn't respond that way to them. I used to be at a much larger school with some kids who had that same sort of upbringing. We didn't put up with that crap, because they needed real discipline. If we participate in those activities we single these kids out as different, or as lesser people. In a roundabout way we make these kids out to be animals, because they aren't capable of being any better. That is bull. They are just as capable as anyone else and they need to realize that. That is really a fundamental flaw we have in the Civil Rights movement. We still portray people as someone who can't be something else and that is ridiculous. BTW, I am not ripping on you, jatwood. I am really venting my frustration from some arguments I have had with others on this very thing. |

But at the same time, when we came in we had to conform to them to a certain degree. We came in from a white-flight community with a lot of money. if we had come in with and treated our new kids the same way, we would not have survived very long. We became very successfull, and continued to win.

I think Tony Dungy, Lovie Smith, Herman Edwards, Eddie Robinson and a few others might have a diffrent take on it though. I still dont see where a coach gets off swearing at his players and letting that prima donna crud go on like that and then calls themselves a TEAM? get real. |

They need to see someone different who is successful and respects them. |

Not youth level, but check this out for some cheeky english football coaching, some half time gold!
The manager I think went on to have a break down on the way back from a game once, as I understand the team bus pulled over, he got out into a field and started shouting at some cows!
