    Since we're educating:  Why don't you read this article entitled, "Why We Believe Things Are Getting Worse When They Aren’t".

     

    It's a great read.  I think you'd benefit from it.

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

    It’s not only about winning, but we don’t compete to lose. I know where you’re going with this and I don’t disagree. However, we compete to win. In the classroom, on the field, and in life. We should never settle for mediocrity and to teach our kids that’s acceptable is also wrong. 

    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.

    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. (MHS

    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.

    and you've never seen the less talented team win?

    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.

    haha i guess if this is a true, a coach always has an excuse.

    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.

    in three seasons, a great coach could at least develop a few players to get a couple wins...

    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.

    Not sure what that means, I was thinking more along the lines of lack of quality players, players who are just lazy and don't put much into it, lack of assistant coaching support, lack of parental/community support, stuff like that.          Not saying any of the preceeding list is true, just some possibilities.

    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.

    Antioch has their chance this week, MJ is a far cry from what they were against Cane Ridge. The offense is clicking and the defense is playing near lights out. With that being said MJ will not take Antioch lightly, we will be ready for battle.

    Any chance meeting you at the game?
