Thanks Coaches

[FBEmeritus]

Just as there are 32 teams who have been successful enough in each region to advance in the play-offs, there are 32 teams handing in equipment this week. To the teams of men who have not advanced to the play-offs your hard work and dedication is noted by those who really understand the game of football and the game of life, and which of the two that are the most important. Coaches and parents must capitalize on the impressionable years of childhood by instilling in their players and sons the honorable task of building character, integrity and honesty. There is little time to transform boys from immature and flighty youngsters into honest, caring citizens, who will be respectful of authority, women, loyal and faithful in marriage and service to community, keepers of commitments, to be decisive leaders, hard workers, and secure in their manhood. Coaches assist parents through athletics and football to contribute to the growth of their young men. The dedication of coaches, paid and volunteer is greatly appreciated by society. Maybe your team did not win a game or maybe only a few, none the less you contribution to the development of young men is greatly appreciated.

 

For you seniors who will never suit up and play the game of football again, take away the best parts of your experience and do not dwell upon the negativities, you are successful for having been a part of your schools team and are apart of the majority. Further success was not meant to be. Good luck and know you will be a better citizen for having been a high school football player, the last level of football that is the most pure currently.

 

For you coaches thanks for all your hard work and seemly thankless endeavors concerning the sport you have dedicated yourself to. Despite the criticism that you get most of us know we could not do your job and want to wish you future success. You have helped shape the futures of young men, your success in this is paramount above all else. Thank you and good luck in the future from a father and dad.

Great post. You are right that many criticize...I know that most of it is just wanting your team to do well. I wish people would think about things they say before they say them. Everyone loves a winner and most are happy as long as the victories are there. But whether a team is 0-10 or 10-0, I would be willing to bet the majority of the coaches have spent countless hours not only with your children on the field but in doing countless other things noone knows about...i.e. getting up at 6am on Sat. morning to go back to the school to do laundry, driving 4 hours in the middle of the night to get a game film, countless hours of watching film and preparing for the upcoming game, checking with teachers to make sure the boys are doing what they are supposed to be doing and on and on.

 

As a coach's wife, I have tried over the last 18 years to avoid or disregard the negative comments. Sometimes I am successful and sometimes not. I know it comes with the territory but that does not make it easy. The next time you want to criticize the coach, think twice before you speak. Think hard about all the time he is giving to your kids...time that he is missing with his own kids at home.
