This is a post I made a couple weeks ago and I feel it's appropriate here. There is a huge difference between getting excited and celebrating with your teammates and trying to show up an opponent. There is too much of the "hey look at me, look what I did" attitude instead of the focus being on the success of the team. I know I'm "old school" and I am good with that. Gritty, not pretty. There are far too many people worrying about how cool they look and getting style points instead of getting gritty and doing whatever it takes to accomplish the task at hand without worrying one bit about what that looks like. We have people spending more time and energy practicing their new celebration dances and hand shakes instead of using that time and energy refining their craft. The best celebration and one of the best things about all of sports is turning and celebrating with the people you’ve put in the blood, sweat, and tears with. Once people figure out it’s not about YOU as an individual, it’s about US as a team, they just improved immensely at any sport and as a part of any team they are a part of. WE B4 ME! I hope everyone has a great day!

At Rochester, we have a drill we run called "Touchdown drill". Players get divided up into groups and each player starts 15 yards from the end zone and runs the ball in for a touchdown. The group has to then go and congratulate them and find a teammate to celebrate with. If you want kids to do it, you have to practice it. Like you said team success is the whole point, not tearing down the other team with a celebration. If you are that good of a team, let the scoreboard speak for itself.

I absolutely love this idea!

So ‘Nati +1. Got it.

I had this as a senior in high school. Was in the hospital about 4 days constantly receiving fluids and peeing about 20 times a day. They luckily caught in time and I didn't have any major issues besides extremely sore calves.

This Thursday at 9 PM EST, we will continue our free Virtual Clinic Series! Few things keep Defensive Coordinators on their heels, like Empty formations and a well-executed screen game. Coach Clevenger will talk about the Franklin Central Flashes Screen Game and the different variations that make it successful. Coach Wissing will then talk through the Empty Passing Concepts that the Merrillville Pirates have used to gain yards in the air against multiple coverages! This is a free virtual clinic, sign up at www.60secondclinic.com/bandb This will be a great clinic as we build up to the Air It Out Clinic coming Saturrday 1/28! The Air It Out Clinic will feature five of the top coaches in the Midwest talking about how they use the forward pass to attack defenses. See the full speaker list at www.60secondclinic.com/airitout

Yes, lets lower the bar because overpaid, entitled athletes do not know how to handle themselves. Play hard now, celebrate later.

Like celebrating with your teammates after kicking the other team’s ass!

My point is, teach them how to have fun the right way.

Perhaps because we’re trying to teach kids fundamentals … including the fundamentals of good sportsmanship and an attitude that focuses on team rather than individuals, since we know that likely none of those kids is ever going to make a living playing football.

Oh wait! - Yeah......Ivermectin (the old, non-patented, and inexpensive drug) does work after all........Well in Africa, but nowhere else apparently. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7968425/ https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.26.21254377v1 Conclusions The morbidity and mortality in the onchocerciasis endemic countries are lesser than those in the non-endemic ones. The community-directed onchocerciasis treatment with ivermectin is the most reasonable explanation for the decrease in morbidity and fatality rate in Africa. In areas where ivermectin is distributed to and used by the entire population, it leads to a significant reduction in mortality.

There is always one bozo who will show up at the board meeting and ask that question....then they will oppose a zero percent or a couple dollar increase to their property taxes then ask why we don't pay the teachers more with that money.....if only it worked that way.

Yes, I made it. The game was disappointing for the WildKats. Zionsville was controlling the first half, then young Mr. Bidunga left the game with about 5 minutes left in the 2nd quarter due to some kind of finger injury. That allowed Zionsville's big man to score like 5-6 additional points before the end of the half. I think Bidunga ended up with 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks. The Kats got to within 5 points about halfway thru the third quarter but then the Eagles started raining 3's and it was pretty much over. Zionsville won by 11.
