Times have you guys missed practice as a coach?
I never have in my career. But we have a rook who misses and like to bail out right after practice pisses me off.

High school wise, never, missed school , but not practice Junior high wise, just did this last Friday and Monday for my grandmothers funeral in Texas, and for all the crazy professional development / new teacher induction classes that you have to take In this district in now.

Never, ever. I've never even missed an athletic period. Took days off from class but never from athletics. Missed a Sunday meeting once for a funeral but got back in time for the end of it. From what I've seen, guys that miss practices (for reasons other than funerals, family emergencies) don't stick with the profession very long. We catch alot of crap from teachers but their arses aren't up there on the weekends or after school. Nope, they're beating the buses out of the parking lot. But, that's a whole different thread that can be started.

You are right. Guys that dont have a passion to get to their jobs, won't be around in the long run. One way or another, their lack of passion will bring about their career's demise. No matter what career it is.

Had a coach miss one time because he slept with his contacts in and his eyes hurt. Had a slap miss one time because he didn't want to miss the cable guy coming to his house... he also slept with a student.

On a slightly different, yet related note, how many of y'all have issues with kids showing up for practice? I've been at a myriad of schools and have never had an issue of kids (girls) not showing up. The only conflict is in the spring when Academic UIL, stock show, track, tennis, softball, and golf are going on and we have multiple events going on on the same day, which is completely understandable, and even welcome.
Those that have coached girls, have y'all had as many problems with them as with the boys? Literally everywhere I have been, there has never been a big issue with absenteeism on the girls side.

Same here, I've coached girls track the last 3 years and whatever time I tell them to be there, they are there early and very seldom does anyone ever miss. It was very nice! Boys on the other hand in track I would always have to worry about who was over sleeping or who was going to be late for the bus!

Right. Is it the overall late blooming maturity-wise? I've always wondered...

I have missed two practices in 12 years. The first was the birth of my son, my HC told me that if i showed up to practice and did not stay with my wife he was going to kick my a$$. The other time was for my son, he had to have a brain scan and would not do it without daddy with him. I felt guilty for but they were both on a Thursday.

If my husband left me in the delivery room, or after birth, for practice I would kick his arse!!!

Oh yeah, it's GREAT! It's kinda like when guys all get together for bro nights. A coach I work with now has a similar sense of humor as me and our defacto girls AD does not....it gets quite funny.
