Kinda what I figured. It just amazes me how terminology varies from area to area.

It amazes me how much difference there is in terminology that is used across the country and how many words/ concepts/ movements are the same but called completely different. Someone industrious needs to start and online dictionary/thesaurus of football terms used across the country and across the ponds with search capability. Will have to be someone with ALOT of time!!
Maybe someone has started one??

Kid: "Have to watch my little step-sister after school." Dad shows up ten minutes into practice to watch and wonders where why he is not at practice. Dad: "He does not have a sister or step-sister. He is skipping to watch soap operas. He loves General Hospital!" Me: Still laughing!

What character/ leadership development tools or programs do you use for your players? Does anyone do focused classes for athletes on character/ leadership? Just have a desperate need to do more for the athletes. They need to know what it means to be a "real man". Why, out of all the adult contacts the players have, is this the job for a football coach, or any athletic coach? Why, out of all the kids, would only the players need this? Its not only the players that need exposure to these things. They all need it.

When growing up, I learned from my coaches. Not all of them because some of the were crappy people. I learned from men of character and discipline. With the said, I model what I expect from my kids. However, They see me for 2 or 3 hours a day. I want to spend more time with them and expose them to the why I became a coach and why I have principles, morals and values. Was just looking for some ideas that coaches use to share these with the kids. Really was kind of wondering if it was the new norm with good programs. Maybe, I should have asked if anyone does this and why or how.
Many of you have taken a negative approach to this post and it distresses me that many of you assume that these things are not being modeled in practice.

"Hit 'em. Just *#$%ing hit 'em" is the one that I hate the most. Had a guy on a staff that was all he said. Still a running joke in the coaches office.

"G#% D*!n it! I guess we ARE a soccer school!!" Could be appropriate after kicking a 50 yard FG to win!

Just looking for some suggestions. Most of our kids come from broken homes and have no male role models. I know that this is not unusual in society anymore, unfortunately. Everywhere that I have been the coaches talking about winning and wanting to win but they do nothing to develop kids of character or leaders. I believe that winning is a process and want to develop the kids from the inside out.
Looking for some programs, books or materials to use.
