And he wasn’t eating sandwiches and riding a bus after the ring

I'm along the same line of thinking as the OP, kind of feel the same, but really what's the big deal? I've been on teams that got fitted for rings and we have several hot dog eaters that basically did nothing for the 4 years of their high school career other than do the dynamic warm up, our speed/agility circuit, and then stand on the sidelines and talk for 2 hours. Their rings said the same thing as the 3 year All State starter. Funny thing in fact about one of them. I had a coaching buddy who worked at another school nearby and one of the hot dog eaters went to his church. I saw the coach later on after the season was over and he asked, "Does Justin start for y'all?" And of course my reply was "Hades, no". Coach said, "Well Justin is telling every girl in his youth group that he not only starts, but is the anchor for the OL." Who knows maybe it got him a little playing time.... ERWs... 😆

Yeah, I have a couple times (such as life at times in small private schools). I was credentialed in Social Studies, but in my time as a teacher I have taught the following: History, Government/Economics, Bible, PE, English, Physics, and Earth Science. It can be work, but I enjoyed it. I am the type of person who has to build everything I up my own way (recreate the wheel some would call it), but I feel that allows me to do the job the best I possibly can. For classes I have taught more than a couple times, I don't even bother to look at the textbook, because I know the only time the kids will use it will be if I am out sick. As such, those classes that were new to me took a lot of time (me learning everything) and then coming up with quality methods to deliver that information. If that sounds like you, then be ready to put in some work, though not as much as your first year teaching, because you should be better with methodology. If you are happy with just falling in line with best practices, and doing whatever curriculum you are given, then I can't imagine it should be too much work though. I think it really comes down to how you are as a person. Textbooks? They still make those? 🤣

Can you be happy teaching in that field? If the problem is that you don't know much about it don't worry. You just need to stay one chapter ahead of the kids. If it's a field that you actively dislike and have no interest in I'd think long and hard about it. I echo these sentiments. I often see coaches here talk about getting certified in Math, Sciences, or SPED to "make themselves more marketable". I always reply "If you don't want to teach those things, education is a terrible way to make a living". Yep. Getting hired to be a SpEd teacher is going to be rough if you don't want to be a SpEd teacher. And if you get hired as a SpEd teacher, you will most likely always be a SpEd teacher. Don't fall for the "We'll hire you as a SpEd teacher but move you to PE next year" line... 😆

Look at it as a good thing. Everyone gets to be involved with your success and it can only help the program IMO. I see your point but I doubt the kids will care one way or the other. I think it is a pretty cool thing to do! The more people who feel that they are part of the success, the more support the program will have.

vicvinegarWhat are the school's facility like, especially the weight room? You can make a huge improvement in simply putting a stronger team on the field. However, if they don't have a decent weightroom and lack the capacity to upgrade, you are going to start with one tied behind your back.

I'm pretty sure all of our game-day crew (scoreboard operator, announcer, and chain gang) all get paid. I don't know how much. Maybe $50 each per game?
They even pay teachers to take tickets and manage parking. The teachers then donate the money into a scholarship that's given to a senior in the spring.

Co-sign the credit app if they need help financing their waterbeds. How about a gift certificate for Beef O'Brady's?

The last guy I worked for told parents, “practice time is playing time” and would show them practice drills and scout team where they got in as proof they played. We never had major issues with it though. This particular father was bringing in notes from a shrink to get his kid excused from practice and also brought in a disability lawyer...I don't think he was going to listen to reason. Lol.. I've never seen a situation like that before. The father and the psychiatrist were basically trying to give the kid a free pass not to practice. The kid had a long list of mental health issues as well as learning disabilities but it was getting ridiculous. It took him three and a half weeks to get enough practices in to play in a game. Did the dad have any legal ground at all to stand on?

Unless you use those things in a reckless manner, which is illegal, they only endanger the user. That's not true with an infectious disease. He distinctly said "allow people to endanger themselves". You should probably add that our governor weighs about 400lbs.

We had a local team here about 10 years ago that had like 15 "coaches". And this was a small-school program with about 40 total players 9-12. Of those 15 coaches, 10 of those guys were either Get-Back coaches, cheerleaders, or fans with a polo shirt. Remember when Mike Tyson used to enter the boxing arena with an entourage of 20 hype men? That's what this team reminded me of when they walked on to the field on Friday nights... You can bet that there weren't 15 at practice on Wednesday. Oh no. Most of those guys only "coached" on Friday evening. Some of them showed up on Thursday but were MIA Saturday - Wednesday.

Best shoes for OL coaches? Best does for WR coaches? Best shoes for DB coaches? Really? Just find some shoes that you like and wear them. No one knows your feet like you do. Everyone is different. Can we not even figure out our own shoe needs anymore? Wear flip flops, whatever. Just coach and stop all this nonsense. Looking at your recent posts, you are always negative. Why? Do you hate football or something? You act like people loving the sport and thinking through every detail is a bad thing. Im not neglecting my other duties or looking for fashion statement im looking to be able to get off practice and go home and play with my kid. I'm asking for suggestions because my feet hurt and I want shoes were Im not sliding around on our frequently wet field but my feet don't hurt either. You can't go to the store and try on turf shoes and you don't know if tennis shoes are going to grip enough until you tried them but then you can't return them covered in dirt. Chill out Darren! I'm a big guy. I swear by Sketchers with the memory foam. I have a pair for walking around, another pair that I keep in my PE office that I only wear at school, and a pair of Sketchers waterproof low-top hiking shoes I wear when we need to go outside and it is wet or muddy.

But if you do make sure to also wear a backpack, ear buds and neon shorts. Visor optional, but not really. Extra points for wearing a boonie hat with the blue urban camo pattern. An automatic win if you top off the ensemble with a $150 pair of sunglasses that you wear even if it is cloudy.

Three episodes in. Its refreshing that the head coach is not like Buddy Stephens or Jason Brown. Coach Beam seems like a genuinely good guy.

Sounds like a good way to get the Covid... 😆 Maybe it was like a Medieval siege? Maybe they were going to launch a diseased corpse into their midst in hopes they would all get the rona. Ha!

Kind of annoying, but I still chuckled... Good on ya'. Coach...what information do you want to communicate with your website? I simply have a Twitter account for our Strength and Conditioning Program. It works well for that.

Every school has a "Cool Kids Club". The people in that inner circle are pretty much bulletproof. If you aren't in the Cool Kids Club, you are easily expendable.
I'm not in the Cool Kids Club at my school. I know that when the day comes that my services are no longer valuable or unique, they won't hesitate in throwing me out with the trash.
