Our theme this year is Dont back down.
Obviously this song fits perfectly, but I have gotten some interesting responses when I said I was using it. Please give me any thoughts or insights you have!
Thanks in advance.

Are your kids into this? I coached with a guy who always wanted to play AC/DC, but the kids could care less them, he was playing it more for himself to get fired up

I don't know depends on what your kids are into. Was shocked coming back to my school after coaching a few years in the inner city. Weight room pre game practices was all acdc metallica and crue. I tease the kids about this stuff being old when I was in school I mean listen to your own stuff. I put on lamb of god in a pre practice said if I was looking to kick some ass id listen to this. Hc killed it in about 2 mins. But coaching in the suburbs inner city and farm country I'm at the point where I don't care what the Kidds listen 2 as long as it'd not too vulgar. Its there time not mine.

that was a hype song?  leave it up to your players. They will surprise you (especially if YOU ask them, they will be extra careful about what they select). Ultimately, it is THEIR team for that one season - let them own it. |

Our kids came out to reggae about 5 years back. I was a bit floored, but they dug it and it relaxed them, so...
Like everyone else has said, put it up to them. Even give the stipulation that you want the song to match your theme for the season, they'll find SOMETHING.

If the kids dig it, go for it... But the teams I have been around have a little different taste

I agree with what the others have said. The kids tastes should dictate your motivational music. Last year we had the seniors make the pregame playlist, it was all rap. Which I don't have a problem with except we were the whitest team in the league and would have never guessed that if I picked the music.

I would probably only play this if your jerseys are Flannel
