never will

Just to inform that MJGOLDENBEARS does not represent Mount Juliet football. He represents himself only. I have asked him a few times to meet only to be denied. For all I know I have seen him at games. I am at every game and a true fan of Mount Juliet football.

Hoping Antioch will win tonight and be region Champions.

I am 73 years old and coached 47 years and always educating myself. Thanks for the article.

The thing I like about coacht is the different opinions . I don't agree with all of them but is does let you see what people are thinking and often times allows you to understand why things are the way they are.

I understand what you are saying, but to me winning has trumped everything. When you read the thing I posted about interscholastic sports winning is never mentioned ,just implied as a result not the main goal. Not the only reason as today. This mindset took years to evolve and a lot of things in our society has changed not for the good. it is a Me society now and I am not a fan.

When everything was not about winning at any cost. I just grew up in a different time when that wasn't the only thing sports was about

Just educating, hope you are reading . Sad you did not grow up during this time

What is the purpose of interscholastic sports? The goals of interscholastic sports include helping adolescents enhance sport skills, physical fitness, self-discipline, sportsmanship, teamwork, time management skills, self-confidence, and mental toughness while promoting life skills and lessons and enhancing academic performance.

High school athletics were to teach values and were just an extension of the school day, Today it is all about winning at any cost. Only way a coach was fired was for unethical behavior. Coaches were men of character and great leaders of young people. Sad how times have changed.

Interscholastic athletics are not courses offered by schools but are tools used by schools to reach and motivate students and to rally support within the community for schools’ academic and activity programs. (MHSAA) l In order to justify school sponsorship, inter- scholastic athletics must be compatible with the academic mission of schools, giving priority deference to the academic schedule and requiring proper decorum at athletic events. (MHSAA) l Interscholastic athletics are secondary to the academic program of schools and are partners with schools’ non-athletic activities in providing students opportunities to develop loyalty and school spirit, to practice teamwork, hard work, discipline, sacrifice, leadership and sportsmanship and to gain lifetime appreciation for the arts, sports and healthy lifestyle. (MIAA) l Athletics provide a great educational experience because they can teach important values for dealing with the circumstances of life. The values taught through interscholastic athletics include teamwork, sportsmanship and citizenship, respect for self and others, caring, dedication, commitment, trustworthiness, loyalty, responsibility, integrity, fairness, and doing ones’ best regardless of the outcome. These values are often called “intrinsic” because they may not be included in the lesson plans coaches prepare, but they are very much a part of what a successful coach teaches. (IHSAA) l When kept in proper perspective, inter- scholastic athletics allow kids to be kids. Young people grow by learning the values of healthy competition, teamwork, goal setting, respect and hard work. The educational experiences of all participants are enhanced through these values, as everyone strives to be their best as individuals, students, teammates, and members of the community, rather than just as athletes.

very very seldom. look at the teams records of franklins opponents They played well at time but not good enough to beat the teams they have played. Summit was the most equal game they played. Summit was in finals for 2 straight years. Did their coach forget how to coach all of a sudden.

Do not know him, but I know football and coaching very well. I have watched many games and can tell who has the most talent on the field

yes because they play teams less talented
