Have any of you either personally told an official that he got a call wrong that ultimately was to your disadvantage or had an opposing coach do something similar with his own team? If so, was it in garbage time or could it potentially have affected the outcome of the game? E.g. as your RB jets down the sideline and scores he barely touches the sideline but the official doesn't see it. You tell the official no TD and point out where he went OB. no way they screw up too often against us for me to tell them when they screw up in our favor it's hunger games season #GrindMode #MayTheOffsBeEverInYourFavor #IfTheRefDidntSeeItThenItDidntHappen

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. from what i observe it isnt so much "us coaches" that have started and spread this trend, it is those who are around football players but not actually their HS coaches gurus, camps guys, private trainers, all star teams, training companies etc.

I coach in a state that doesn't allow for Spring Football. I wanted to know, for you guys that do have it, how do you manage to do it with your multi-sport athletes? What time frame (what month or months) does it cover? We have just about the whole month of May, to decide when we want to do 10 days of spring ball we typically push it as late as we can i dont like to do things on fridays so we usually go Mon-Thurs 4 practices Mon-Thurs 4 practices Memorial day... then tues and wed that week to make 10 total We usually get the baseball guys back out that second full week the weaker track kids after memorial day and the better track kids who keep qualifying try to come out and practice a little at the end of their track practice last year we had a great 4x100 team and they all quit on the track coach (no one could stand him) other years he had let football kids come out and participate in spring ball as long as they did their track stuff first (they barely practiced... 3 days a week max, and super short practices) last year he decided he would forbid them from coming to spring ball they called his bluff and said bye i got called in to principals office, was told i cant let those specific boys practice until their season was over i said ok, i explained it to the boys, they sat out 1 more practice qualifying meet was the next day, they didnt show up so they didnt qualify and they practiced football the next day ugly situation and not ideal, not a fan of quitting but i didnt like the way their old coach handled it they werent missing track to do football, he wanted them to just sit there...oh also, they werent allowed to go to tutoring or study hall after school or make up school work

our AD used to do an awful one
found a company called gameday media
they do all the work i send in headshots, thats it
they print them up we distribute them
they cut us a check for 2500
they make money off of it, but it is an easy form of passive income and requires about an hour of total work on my part

prove it I even kept some of it generic with the last paragraph "other things I have been uncomfortable with" because I was focusing mostly on how the academic standards as a whole are severely lacking not just in our program, but in the school in general. When the principal pulled me in to speak with me, I pointed out all the other stuff that I didn't put into my letter. www.dropbox.com/s/uoi4l1fnq4kmp1h/Copy%20of%20LOR.pdf?dl=0Bravo I just read this and almost shed a tear I truly want to fly out there and start punching people in your school

Please tell me... Why on earth is it an expectation for high school football players to "take a knee" when another player is injured? Now, I can understand this when there is a serious injury, but I'm talking about a typical, run of the mill football injury. Take note... neither college nor professional players do this and it doesn't seem to be universal in any other sport, so why high school football? Does it stem from youth soccer or from cheerleading camps or what? This whole practice (taking a knee) just burns me up! And, no, I do not see it as a sign of disrespect when another team fails to take a knee for one of my players! Please don't say that teams that don't take a knee are disrespectful. Respectfully, I don't buy that... it is so stupid and i hate it drives me crazy when people say take a knee

something i have been thinking about more and more going to essentially score everything and have a winner and loser for everything So how would you do that? What examples can you come up with? Scoring Drills cant do this for skill acquisition by skill acquisition i mean learning new skills or fine tuning previously learned ones... this would be done at a slower pace... often with no opponent at all, or a controlled opponent... you are still doing so much teaching now when your player has the chance to DEMONSTRATE knowledge/skill that is when you can make a drill competitive and then keep score i coach OL, so with that example... working Steps i wouldnt score it if i add a defender and control the defender... wouldnt score it if i add a defender, and want the defender to go live now i can score it Drills done at full speed against a defender can be scored... they are applying it under game like situations inside run... scored winner or loser 1on1 or group pass pro... scored winner and loser you can make up whatever criteria you want for what constitutes a win for the O or a win for the D

a lot of our school clubs do that here..chick-fil does it and other types of restaurants do it too yes some of our clubs and other sports have done similar ones but it's usually always 20% this being 50% was the highest i have ever seen for this type of fundraiser

I Love Chipotle... I eat there on average 2x per week There is one about a mile from the school and i go there all the time. All the workers know i coach football. About a month ago manager says she wants to talk to me... tells me they just started doing fundraisers...
you know... one day, people come in and show their flyer... they give you a little % of the money
I was already thinking of how i was going to say NO THANKS and then she told me it is a 50% SPLIT
so I decided to set it up. I gave her my email that night, i got an email form corporate Chipotle the next day to set it up... i entered basic school and contact info into the website and entered our school's tax ID
literally 2 minutes worth of work
They emailed the flyers to use, we put it all over social media leading up to our Fundraiser Day I emailed our whole staff about it I put the flyers around school.
I can not stress how little work i had to do. Our "Chipotle Day" was this past Tuesday... Good amount of support, and i am pretty sure the workers were hitting the "fundraiser button" on the register a few extra times... but we made $2,500 in 1 day
If you have a chipotle near you, go in and ask a manager about doing this fundraiser
-Super Simple -Chipotle is really popular -10 minutes of total work on your end -Nice little fundraiser for us
Way better than any other restaurant fundraiser any organization at this school has ever done
I will do another one later this year when we get closer to the season if they let me

in 11 years coaching at over 50 stadiums i have only observed 2 stadiums in person that run roughly East/West the rest all run roughly North/South I, on thee other hand, have coached for 36 years and I have no idea which direction any of them faced. i never thought of it, until a few years ago when a friend and i were reminiscing about our HS and how bad the stadium was planned, the home stands/sideline faced right into the Sun... so frosh, JV, and early season var games you were staring right at the sun as it set in the West once that got brought up we started thinking about some stadiums and tried picturing in our heads every stadium we could think of in the area a few we checked out on google maps to verify them

it is illegal in CA ed code to charge a kid to play and punish them for not paying
my alma mater (shortly after graduating) was in the first district in our area to institute a "pay to play" type of policy first it was labeled to "sports fee" then they realized they cant do that
then they labeled it a "transportation fee" then they realized they cant do that
they finally called it a "transportation donation" they had us tracking kids and who paid/didnt pay
the super met with all of us coaches and hinted to not give playing time to the kids who didnt pay, since we couldnt just kick them off we pretty much all gave him the finger and moved on...
At my current school we have a "transportation donation" Found out 2 years ago it is technically illegal for us to keep record of who has and has not paid we are just to encourage our kids to donate the money... a few do, most dont... the majority of our school is on free/reduced lunch in one of the poorest areas in Northern CA
The best we had going was a few years ago before our CA drought, i would do 3 car washes a summer (one for each level) and the kids used the money from the tickets they sold individually for their "transportation donation" We averaged between 2500-3000 brought in per car wash
A few kids would pay the entire 150 goal, but everybody was at least chipping something in AD loved us because we were bringing in BY FAR the most money of any sport
Droughts killed that the last 2 years but we are currently experiencing the wettest winter of my life here in NorCal and literally have too much water at the moment so I am hoping the water ration thing gets lifted do we can do our car washes again
We actually found out, that technically if a kid says he cant afford a spirit pack (or PE clothes) that we HAVE to give it to them.. this isnt something we publicize otherwise no one would ever buy a spirit pack again They claim no money but their parents drive nicer cars than i do and they come to school with new jordans everyday

Teachers that are die-hard about flipped classrooms essentially add fifteen to twenty minutes onto instruction time by having the kids watch video clip lectures that take them hours upon hours to put together and upload.. Their "hope" is that the kids will come into the next day having a firm grasp on the material before they start teaching it. I've seen a few teachers do it and it was a train wreck for them because (durrppp) the kids didn't want the lectures the night before. As @mariner pointed out, send the kids home with a HUDL assignment and call it good. It helps our main PE 1 teacher because she does one video a week that's under 10 minutes and teaches a skill they will use later that week. For the kids who are already capable (athletes), it's easily ignored; for the kids who can't but want to (anxious/non active kids) it's a great chance to become more competent in a low pressure situation; for the disinterested, whatever. It helps kids teach other kids and come to class more confident, which is obviously great. If I was still teaching English, doubt I would make much use of it. Not too many videos on how to master the parts of speech. Video 1: "Hello class, welcome to our 9th grade English video tutorial. Today we will be learning how to keep it lit."

I have a standing complaint that every presenter has an overly ambitious topic, gets behind, and blows through the last third of his talk. And I feel like all 425 guys just assume you were born in their system, molded by their terminology. Great bane reference

our HC bought some sort of concentrated cleaning liquid from the guy who reconditions our helmets it is what they use to clean shoulder pads, we just do it ourselves because it saves money on our total reconditioning
We use big rubbermaid tubs filled with water and the "soap" (or whatever chemical it is)
We dunk them, give a little scrub, then we toss them to the side (huge blacktop area outside of our equipment room)
we then hose them off to rinse them and let them air dry

CA JCs do not they are in their own entity/organization
I believe other states (there's some national group they all belong to except CA) they can give scholarships I believe they are allowed so many total, so many from in state kids, and so many out of state kids.

I hate the term "Grinding" when referring to this usually the ones doing crossfit style workouts that may be hard, but not actually get kids stronger Grinding is not something i want to do to my body, bones, or joints Grinding is meant for Pretty Ricky-esque dancing in music videos Grinding is now just a fancy word for working hard. I would rather work hard than grind. Also people who "grind" always think they are outworking their opponent when in reality they are just taking 5 steps to do one thing and working harder not smarter. on top of a bosu ball, on one leg, and resistance bands, while someone punches them in the stomach while simultaneously using an agility ladder (suspended above hurdles)

The coach who posts photos on Facebook or Twitter of his players in the weight room "doing work." Like they're the only ones who ever lift weights. The term "doing work/putting in work" is my pet peeve. I hate the term "Grinding" when referring to this usually the ones doing crossfit style workouts that may be hard, but not actually get kids stronger Grinding is not something i want to do to my body, bones, or joints Grinding is meant for Pretty Ricky-esque dancing in music videos
