sdff, It apprears to me that your issues are personal.
In reference to players going over the fence, I was at the game Friday night in the stands and I did not see that. I saw a few injured players in the stands at halftime. As a parent, If I saw my player over the fence during the game, well I would jerked a knot in their head. Perhaps the players that do not respect the coaches are listening to the garb being said at home. I have seen disrespect by some players and I have seen disrespect by some in the stands, You dont have to guess if the if they are the same..... They are.
I have observed for the last decade, there has been 4 different coaches, I havent seen Soddy support any of them.
We all think that our kid is gonna go to a big time college and play big time ball, right? Do you think that any college coach will put up with a bad attitude? Ask around they absolutely will not!!! Do you think that the college coaches will care if you or your player likes 5 am workouts? They wont. At the booster club meeting when it was announced that there would not be any 5 am workouts there was applause. I could not believe it when I heard that. I wonder if a powerhouse like Hoover HS would have responded like that. They are a powerhouse because of their respect,attitude, and work ethic, oh yea talent has a lot to do with it too. There is something to building quality young men as well as quality football players. If the first doesnt exist neither does the second. Soddy has a lot of quality young men and I am proud of them, They need encouragement, they need to hear us yelling for them in the stands not at them from the stands.
