A lot of these "funnies" are coaches attempts to coach effort. I always tell my guys that effort is something that must be a constant and it is on them. I will hold them to the standard but they are the ones that controls it and must reach the expectation.
When players don't give you all they have it can be very annoying and depressing. That is when you see a grown man walk into a room of kids and look befuddled and yell "Just be better."
Scheme is great in this game, but if you have impeccable technique and great effort, you can overcome a lot of the things that keeps us from reaching success.

RE: coachwilcox There was no lack of effort from us, believe me. This HC knew nothing about scheme or technique. And it wasnt the only time he gave us such great pearls of wisdom.
We needed to know how we were to be better not just a statement saying be better. We needed to know What we were doing wrong/could improve on and what the coaches were going to do scheme wise to improve our chances of winning the second half.
There is no reason for a HC to walk into a room and utter those words. He lost my respect at that moment.
On effort I think it isnt always a constant with kids/players. Some have issues that distract them, some get "up" for a big game and play better than they do in training. Effort definatly flucuats, but gineric coaching statements have never helped me go" you know what? i'm onloy giving 75% here, and because he asked so nicely im now gong to give 100!"

Had a tagged blitz for my Jack (WOLB) so I made a hand signal in the shape of what I thought was a J. I was teaching the signal during a walkthrough and my friend who was the girl's soccer coach looks horrified then busts out laughing. She explained what it looked like and boiled down to doing something crude to a giant as she put it.
