@CoachRock73 Some Lysol and some of the kids came by sticking their butts out for me to spray them. I didn’t actually spray the kids but I spritzed a little bit out behind them. A parent called my principal saying I told her daughter she stank and sprayed her with Lysol.

@CoachRock73 We’ve always had some sensitive parents. I started teaching elementary PE in 2008 with an average of 60-70 kids in my classes. One day one of them farted and it was potent. Another kid threw up a little bit creating a less than ideal environment. I got it cleaned up and sprayed

Everyone's looking for a lone bullet of why people aren't going into teaching. There isn't one. The teaching profession is suffering death by 1,000 cuts. Pay, student behavior, parents, curriculum requirements, mindless training commitments, ineffective leadership. (cont'd)

After 24 years, a teacher says the biggest change isn’t the job… it’s parents, students, and accountability. More pushback. More debate. Less alignment. Teachers: Is this accurate?

All these coaches telling you not to run Wing T/ Option schemes have never been a head coach and their mortgage never depended on winning! They just talk for clout!

@FixingEducation I saw this in one district I worked in. Every time a central office person retired, two were hired.

@jenteach13 I have found there to be a direct correlation between the number of central office personnel, and the amount of micromanagement teachers had to deal with
English

Your child's school has an assistant superintendent for curriculum, an assistant superintendent for instruction, a director of teaching and learning, and a coordinator of academic services. Your child's teacher has thirty-two kids and no copy paper. This is not a funding problem. It is a priority problem.

@JAKEHEINRICH1 @pntrack Small schools often struggle to get people to coach so it often falls on football coaches to take on the 2nd sport whether they have the skills or not. And, admittedly some of them, don’t make enough effort to learn their own 2nd (or 3rd) sport.
English

@pntrack Unfortunately small school track coaches can be the worst offenders because they’re often just “old school” football guys picking up a 2nd sport stipend. I’ve been to these meets and seen open handoffs in the 4x1, no blocks in the open 2, day 1 things that are done horribly wrong

I hesitate to share this but maybe it needs to be shared. When coaches fail kids, someone should speak up.
Twice in the past two weeks, 4 girls, all freshmen & sophomores, made nearly a 3- hour round trip to train with me in the parking lot of Dryden Elementary, across from my house.
The girls run at a small school. They are talented. Their MPHs (Dashr Silver): 18.9, 18.7, 18.6, and 17.9. Their verticals (OVR): 25, 24, 22, 19. Solid athletes!
After the first session, parents said the workout was the first positive experience of the season. The girls wanted to do it again.
Problem #1: track practice should not be consistently miserable. 🥴
The girls told me that their meet warmup was to run two laps as a team. I showed them how sprinters warm up. When they asked their coach if they could try a new warmup, the coach made them run a mile. 🥴
They think their best chance to qualify for state is the 4x1. (Remember, they are all underclassmen.)
I had them practice handoffs. They had been taught some crazy things:
1) Run in middle of lane (no inside-outside lane ownership) 🥴
2) Baton stayed in right hand (no R-L-R-L). 🥴
3) One “go mark” at only “5 short steps” (measured to be 12’) 🥴
4) They had never been videoed doing an exchange 🥴
I taught them how to do it right, hoping their coach wouldn’t find out and punish them with a two mile run. Our go mark was 16’ with a bang step (first step down at mark). I videoed every exchange. I maintained their upsweep technique. They looked GREAT. ⚡️
The girls were free to train yesterday because they didn’t have practice on the Monday of Sectional… because the boys team had a meet. 🥴
For Sectional tomorrow, I wish they weren’t all required to do 4 events. Wish they could concentrate on 4x1 and 4x4 (they have a chance in both). One girl is entered in 4x1, 4x2, 300h, and 4x4. Never have I entered a boy in those 4 events, let alone at a Sectional. Another has to run 200 and 4x4 back-to-back. 🥴
It’s sometimes hard to support the work of other coaches.
Kids get one chance to do high school sports.

@_ToddBeane @landondonovan @RobStoneONFOX @TaylorTwellman What is the paradigm and what should it be changed to?
English

Youth ⚽️ 🇺🇸
🗣️ If we are to maximize the potential of every footballer, then we must change not so much the governance as the governing paradigm upon which our entire training is based.
Vamos! 👏

@coach_Mahler @CoachStokowski Especially these last couple of days.

When you’re on the track testing fly times for 3 straight classes you gotta make an upgrade @CoachStokowski

I would go full 80's belly jersey and shimmer- as God intended.
