This has been one of those years!! Our team has gone through allot...started with coaching staff and getting our MS stipends pulled and we had to pull double duty with MS program and HS. Then our numbers shrunk down to 18 kids...and trying to figure out practice organization. The 18 kids we got are hard workers but they haven't played the game and don't know the game very well.
The last4 weeks have been CRAZY!!! The first of that week we beat a team 43-21...Could have been 50-7 pretty easily. We then lost to weaker team 14-7...then bounced back and played the #1 team in our district-but lost to them by 7. We just played a team with a 30 game losing streak last night and lost to them by 14!!! What the heck is going on this season??
My question is that they say a team takes on the personility of its head coach. I know I have only been here for two years-but am I that skitsofrenic if my team is looking like that??

What does film tell you? Are you playing as well or better week to week or not? Scores and wins and loses are not always the best indicator of performance or improvement.

Yeah, I thought it may have been a clever name for the scout team or something before I read it. |

My question is that they say a team takes on the personility of its head coach. I know I have only been here for two years-but am I that skitsofrenic if my team is looking like that?? A team will take your lead; to a point. But, each unit has it's own unique chemistry and you have to really roll with it. I took over a struggling program this year and my emphasis was to work hard, play hard and have fun playing the game. We told them that the scoreboard would take care of itself if they did those things. But, I wasn't happy with the team that we became by our last game; the kids lost their competitive edge because we didn't find a happy medium between emphasizing having fun and being competitive. We played the top team in our conference the last game and our kids were talking like it was a youth league outing; I wasn't happy. But, on the flip side of things, we played our best games in terms of turnovers, penalities, etc, against the big dogs in the league. When it came to the teams we could beat (man-handle) we were terrible. If they didn't think they could win, they were relaxed and focused. If they thought they could win, the pressure got to them and we played like crap. |

coachcb-that is exactly what my team was like-they would play like crap when it was team that we should role on...but when it came down to the "big games" they played well.
Aj-we have gotten better from week to week with fundamentals...we all know that is where it starts.
Spellcheck guys-sorry, was not an english major and I wish it did have to do with my scout team!
