Whats worse is I know some coaches who use these all the time. Tell the kids them, sprinkle them throughout scouting reports, send them out with their hourly remind text. Heck, I worked a youth camp once where the head of the league was talking to 8 yr olds about loving the grind.
Its bad enough to be a 16 year old and buy into this crap, but you cannot be a grown man and communicate like this (let alone use hashtags and emoticons).

Had a kid that would always say, "I'm MexiCAN, not MexiCAN't". In reality, he couldn't.

Or when the current leader of your state's land grant university gets paid $4 mil a year and sounds like a walking hashtag. If I have to listen to that dumbass past this upcoming season I'm finding something else to do in the fall.

Land grant university? I don't get granted anything. It's all work, baby. Hard Knocks University. Stay hungry. Four course meal of grinding. #weeatin

IDK how many of you have experienced this but every year I always have 2-3 of my laziest, non working don't know where the weight room is type of kids who always wear some kind of athletic apparel w/ an inspirational/$hit talking quote on their shirt like "I train for your pain" or "Football is Life" or some other crap they wear but I haven't seen them break a sweat in year.
A couple of months ago I saw one of my laziest wear a shirt that said "Can't stop Won't stop" at his lunch table. I pulled a d!ck move in front of his buddies and said "Can't stop won't stop? When did you start dude?"
It wasn't appreciated but I enjoyed it.
Had another kid come tell me that one of his teammates who never puts in an ounce of work sent him a screen shot of someone that got lit up in the Super Bowl and the lazy kid posted on the screen shot #weight room. Then sent it to a bunch of team mates.
To their credit one of my guys responded "You mean the place you never go?" Was met w/ a bunch of profanities. We all had a good chuckle. I guess my sarcastic nature is rubbing off. Their not all snow flakes. Still some toughness out their.

The more I think about it, the more I realize this is our fault (and by our I mean coaches). We are the ones who come up with these pseudo motivational catchphrases, repeat them endlessly, hang them on the weight walls, etc. Kids have just put their own trendy twist on them with the hashtag emoticon idiocy.

I think you give us TOO MUCH credit. I'm not convinced kids listen to us as much as you think they do. Kids have been more into perception than reality for years. I can't tell you how many kids I have walking the halls pretending to be billy bad a$$es then make the MISTAKE of coming out for the FB team to prove it only to get lit up. True story....had a fat, sloppy lazy kid come out for our team after not doing anything for 3 years. Liked to act like a tough guy all the time. When he signed up for FB I asked him why he wanted to suddenly play FB. His response, no embellishment.."I have a lot of pent up anger and I want to unleash my demons on somebody". I turned away to avoid laughing in his face. So....again completely true....first day in the chutes he got driven about 10 yards and pancaked so badly that he farted so loud the entire team heard it. He literally got the $hit knocked out of him. Of course he quit about 2 days later but still walked the halls his senior year trying to look like a bad a$$. I refuse credit for the # buffoonery.

Nothing I have ever said has appeared on a shirt, head band, shooting sleeve (yes, I've had FB players attempt to wear shooting sleeves) wrist band, eye black, etc.

The term grind didn't always have a negative connotation. I've used it several times and now I try to stop using it because of social media.

And my least favorite shirt is the one Nike came up with that says "Lazy But Talented." This is the exact thing every coach hates.

I don't think that it has a negative connotation at all--in a vacuum. I also think it is a fairly accurate description of what it takes to be successful in most any endeavor. That said, what you are referring to seems to be the times it is often either misused, or glorified in situations where it is not necessary or not applicable. Quite frankly, if you are an NCAA Div 1 athlete, your life really is a grind. Even if you are the #2 seed Tennis Player, your life (particularly when compared to the average student) is a grind.

I must be out of the loop because I've never seen a kid do any of this crap. Coaches, a little, but not really in hashtag form.
One particular guy I know- good guy and good coach- is constantly tweeting about what time he gets up to lift every morning. Like, 1. Who cares and 2. Does it really show you're more devoted if you lift at 345 am or if I do it at 330 pm?

You know the old saying. Why you sleep someone is out working you. Paintsville Tigers are putting the Mountains on notice. t.co/bb9hhyUOzqThis is later on that Dave and Darryl twitter page in response to some kid cleaning at 718 am. I guess I just don't get it. Like, if you're lifting, wtf does it matter what time it is?

Like, if you're lifting, wtf does it matter what time it is? I run 3-4 miles 4-5 days a week right now but I do it at 3pm. Is it not hard because it isn't early? Will it be hard once I get my distance back up or no?
