What are some things dealing with misconduct that you won't tolerate? I am one who tries to help kids out as much as I can but at what point do you cut them off and say enough is enough? Obviously I have a set of rules and I follow them, but I feel every situation is a little different so I don't think hard and fast rules work for 14-18 year old kids. I am looking for opinions and advice in situations like this.

If they don't do what I say then they are either gonna be really miserable or they are gonna be gone.

I try to give second (third?) chances in hopes that they eventually figure out whatever the misconduct or poor choice is. But at some point I firmly believe you do have to cut some players off to protect and further benefit more players. I'm dealing with a freshman now that just will not make any effort to improve his grades. He literally does nothing. Hands nothing in, makes no attempt to participate in class, except to cause trouble, and then has the guts to lie to my face. I've told him many times that I speak daily with most, if not all of his teachers and the only reports I get are negative. Long story short, I told him last week that he was done. He will be ineligible to start next season (players must pass all their 2nd semester courses the prior year to be eligible) and he will not be welcomed on the team when he regains eligibility. Not surprisingly, he did not appear to care. Addition by subtraction. |

If they know the rules are hard and fast, they will either obey them or not. If you're looser with the rules, they'll push those boundaries. I don't understand why people act like youth is an excuse for ignorance. These kids are more intelligent on pushing boundaries and rules than any generation of people I've been around. If anything, I think they need MORE hard and fast rules and less buddies who want to enable them by saying they're too young to know the difference between wrong and right. |
