Yeah so... I get that some of you guys are jaded and that's cool. But I enjoy what I do for a living and nothing will break my optimism. I just don't believe in that. If I am going to do something, do it right and give 110% everyday. I want to be able to put my head on my pillow and know I am not short changing anyone and that I am doing the best I can do. I think kids pick up on the enthusiasm. maybe i'm jaded....or maybe i just realized very few other people took what stud did as seriously as stud did.... Stud you and I would get along on a staff. I get that there are a bunch of slaps that shouldnt be in this business. |

As an old guy who's been around a long, long time, I still work hard, and give everything I can to the kids and to this job. However, I have learned the following...
1. Johnny's and Joe's win games in high school, not X's and O's
2. If you think you have more effect on a kid's character than his parents do (or should, anyway), you are bad wrong.
3. The kids you teach/coach are important. But they are NOT nearly as important as your own kids are.

so oklahoma is allowed to bring kids in on a sunday? that 5pm lift, eating at 6:30 and film is for the birds....stud's got better shlt to do from 5-10 on a sunday..... Totally agree. Not many bring them in on Sunday nights that I've ever heard of. We come in 8-noon on Saturdays. (Kids lift and run at 10). All we do is make sure all break down is done and we are out by noon at the latest. Sunday's we come in at 9 or so, and guys that attend church come in around noon. We game plan until we are done. We are usually out no later than 4pm. |

We don't have the kids show up during the weekends. Mostly because most live 20 miles out...but also because weekends are family time, even for them. We don't need to see them until Monday.

that's cute....mrs stud feels the same way....truth is you might change .08% of the paths that kids are on....for mrs stud that .08% change is worth the rest of the bs she has to deal with.....for stud, not so much.... I'm with stud on this one. I believe we can enhance good qualities that many kids already possess, we can modify behavior for students by holding athletics over their heads, and we can instill a sense of discipline that many kids will adhere to regardless of the coach. Sometimes I wonder how much change we actually make. I've been burned by a lot of kids that I've spent a lot of time, effort, and energy trying to change. I can think of many kids that I can say I changed their behavior but in reality I think they would have acted right regardless of the situation. I go into it knowing I could get burned. I cannot and will not let that fact stop me because at the end of the day they are kids and wont realize their being arsehole$$ till they are much older. I didnt. If I fix one out of ten then I did ok. |

We do everything we can to make them productive citizens and better young men, but at the end of the day, that's still the job of the parents first and foremost.
