Im sorry if you misunderstood what I was saying. No Im not the almighty one when it comes to football. Im just stating that there are some things that coaches dont do when it comes to the off season. Sure they do the weight training and the running. What about diet plans, technique instruction, camps, film studies, footwork drills, hand eye coordination drills, breathing techniques, situational techniques, and most importantly knowledge of the game. During the off season?
Alot of Coaches usually come into camp around August and have the kids run and lift weights then practice around end of camp.
I would NEVER trust a kids coach or coaches to Set-up or Establish a kids future regardless of where he plays. Whether Huntingdon, USJ, North Side, or one of the nations top rated high schools.
As a parent or relative of ANY player you try to provide the kids with the best. Thats the bottom line. Whether you decide to help the development of a kid especially if he was your own is up to you. But when you know the system and know that coaches only want that win...... just to keep jobs, and schools only want those wins to make money... you start to understand that sports have become stables for our educational systems. Herd them in and then reap the profits, and then they are sent to pasture.
ONLY THE THOROUGHBREDS win the races! and the better conditioned, most knowledgeable, biggest, and fastest win the derby.
Just trying to develop a thoroughbred, the best in his class both mentally and physically. Nothing wrong with that. If the other kids are left behind because "THE COACHES FAILED THEM" thats the parents fault for giving them the trust that should have been elsewhere.... In their own hands!
So Criticize me...... Ok Ill accept that. Thats your right
But Ill tell you this, and this is from my heart and Ill die feeling this way.
Chris Donald WILL NOT be one of those Sent to pasture because someone didnt help him get to where he needed to be!!
