  1. 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.
  2. Hoping Antioch will win tonight and be region Champions.
  3. I am 73 years old and coached 47 years and always educating myself. Thanks for the article.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. Just educating, hope you are reading . Sad you did not grow up during this time
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

  11. https://www.williamsonherald.com/sports/commentary-melton-s-exit-not-entirely-his-own-making-at-franklin/article_28edc59c-6384-11ee-94d4-279fd6bb02ef.html
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. Not an excuse ,just the true facts. Talent trumps coaching everyday at every level of play. This coach is not saying the talent is down and probably coaching hard to help his kids win. Coaches most times will take the blame because they are loyal to the players. This young man is not the first coach to be coaching in a tough job. I respect the coaches that are coaching in what is some no win situations but they are coaching kids in a lot more than just football. I would dare say that no one in admin has seen a practice or even know if improvement is being made. You are forgetting that Williamson County is one of the toughest regions in football. I would bet that zoning has a big impact on talent at franklin.
  15. That is your opinion. If your opponent has better players it will not matter. Be interesting to see how many Franklin players would be starting at the other schools they are playing.. If not many then they won't win against them. And the Franklin players are better in 3 years but the other schools are getting better also.
  16. Then there are a lot of not great coaches. Not a lot of great chefs without all the right ingredients
  17. Genetics equals not very talented. If they were they would be winning. Nothing wrong with not having a lot of talent. Most every school has experienced up and down talent. Just most admin today do not know enough about that and make decisions for the wrong reasons. Zoning can be a big factor.

  19. Any chance meeting you at the game?
  20. I am looking forward to Mount Juliet at Antioch football game . It will be neat seeing my son coach on the same field I coached. I may even see MJGOLDENBEARS at the game.
