A coach tells me today that our starting QB (going to be a senior) is more than likely quitting. So, I ask, "Uh... why?!" and the response is, "His girlfriend doesn't want him to play because it takes too much time away from the relationship..." This has to be the first time that one has been used (and for all of our sakes, hopefully the last).
Enjoy.

i'd have an aneurysm. thats insane.
If youre married tell him how much time you spend away from your wife. And how youre relationship is fine.
And if a girl expects you to make that much time for her and demands that much attention then shes not a keeper...
kids.

I once heard a coach say,
"A HS Football coach's biggest problem is teenage PUS$Y"

You should definitely have a talk with your QB, and try and set things straight. He might just need someone to wake him up and give him the necessary encouragement to tell his girlfriend "no" on this one.

Had the same thing happen 15 years ago to a kid I played with in high school. Returning all conference right tackle quit half way through our senior year to spend time with his freshman girl friend. Couldn't look him in the eye after that

I had a feeling this post would bring out some great quotes. I just got caught laughing at my desk.

Which sounds better to a high school boy: Scenario A: After school go into a big room with a bunch of other sweaty guys, get yelled at by your coaches for an hour or two, and walk out sore and exhausted.
Scenario B: After school take your gf home before your parents get there, get her to yell for an hour or two, and walk out sore and exhausted but satisified
Its a bytch but I am just glad more of our guys have not figured out the Scenario B is a hell of a lot more fun than Scenario A.

ohio- I have a feeling it's just an excuse. He had a hard season and his best friends on the team are graduating. So he'll be there "alone" in his mind. I have no idea what grade she's in, I try to avoid that part of their personal lives with the way things turn out these days.

Unfortunately... I have had this one said to me. Pat you know where I was at before GW! Also had a kid tell me he quit because he was playing too much. Didn't want to be a 2-way starter.
I'm telling ya... harder to find kids that can handle football these days. MENTALLY SOFT

If he's using that as an excuse, he probably doesn't really love the game anyway.

My starting All-Conference Center, also a senior and two year starter, did the same thing last season. All you can do is shake your head (not his) and remind yourself their still kids.

Had this happen a few times in my 30 years of coaching. If you can get the guys past this first girl, they almost always become obsessed with keeping other players from the same problem. Easier said than done, though. I'm usually very blunt with them even if it involves asking them about sex, which is almost always the case.

Sit him down! Explain to him that life is full of experiences. Got a good story that you can tell him that will make the potential problem clear to his 17 year old eyes! PM me!

high school girl are much more convincing then high school coaches. Had a kid penciled in as the starting tackle, stops showing up, we talk to him gives us a million reasons so I say ok man but this is your only chance to play football, if you change your mind come talk to us...see him at our first game as a cheerleader...a CHEERLEADER. Without harassing him I ask what the deal is "Coach, I'll be honest, my girlfriend is a cheerleader and I wanted to spend more time with her."
Real reason, he outkicked his coverage and is protecting it with his life!

I have a high school aged son. I told him there are two times a year he doesn't need a girlfriend, football season and Christmas. One, because she's a distraction and two, because I am cheap.

"you know, i like girls, too. i like, uh, ya know, uh doin stuff with 'em, too. i'm 40, guess what i can do when i'm 40 ... i can, uh, do stuff with girls. guess what i can't do when i'm 40? i can't play football anymore. but, when i was 17, i could play football AND do stuff with girls, cus, you know, there are a lot of 'em around that would be willing to do stuff."

Solid point. Don't ruin the present for something that is going to be there in the future

It safe to say that 99% of these relationships are over quicker then they realize. Letting them know there will others and if she can't handle your commitment to football then she isn't worth keeping.
I had 2 potential starters quit this summer for females. Asked them to come talk to me and pulled the no call no show. I sometimes wonder where the parents are these days. Talking some sense into young boys minds about the opposite sex is really important. Not having discussion has them googly-eyed chasing tail when as stated above they just need to have balance.

She probably doesn't want him to play in the first place.

There is plenty of time before next season...this could very possibly work itself out by then
Girls in our high school use to beg to wear opposite color jerseys on Fridays can't imagine a HS girl that wouldn't want to be rolling with team's stud.

Couldn't look him in the eye after that Now a lineman, I could see that. He may not do any better at least while he's in high school anyway. No offense to the former lineman coaches on the board . But a QB? Come on now. He could probably get any girl he wants with that credential. On a more serious note, this kid needs to get talked to because he's making the biggest mistake of his young life. Hopefully a heart to heart will work, talking to the girlfriend, and communicating with the parents. Get his teammates on him also. As many angles that this situation could be attacked from is absolutely necessary because like others have said, it's hilarious but true, since the beginning of football, "pu$$y is undefeated."

Tell him that you overheard his girlfriend talking about how she was really into Lil Johnny, the CB from ____ Rival High down the road because he's such a stud football player. They'll either break up and he'll come back out for football or he'll go get into a fight with Lil Johnny and then come back out for football.
