Coaching Ethics....

• Mortgagestar1

  Many coaches teach life's lessons from ethics to resposibility. Other coaches teach football. Growing up there was always this debate between Steubenville Catholic Central and the the public Big Red. The old timmers would say, " You wanna an education..go to Central. You wanna play ball go to Big Red." More recently its,
  " Central kids go to Penn State, Big Red's go to State Pen." Humor usually has truth behind it.

  If a kid misses a week of practice for a family vacation it is not his/her fault, i think the parents planned the vacation. "Keeping it real" if the kid is your starting quarterback I don't think he is losing his starting position. A coach is going to be pissed off but he is not going to run off a starter. If the kid is your fourth string waterboy then yeah, a coach is going to treat this kid differently. There will be some make up conditioning.

  If you are going to run a top program a top tier kid isnt going to miss because of vacation .. the kid will stay at home and go to practice ... I have seen kids miss alot of summer training when our legion baseball team won state and went to regionals ... that has happened a few times ... We have one of the best baseball towns in Ohio along with football ..

  There is only so much time to practice. If any team strives to be a top program, then they need kids that are dedicated to being at every practice.

  Yep they do

  Back in the 1970's it was NOT uncommon for a coach or teacher to slap a kid around. You know, before schools had shootings, rapes, class disruptions ect...
  We know of a former basketball coach in the OVAC who was having an affair with a student but his older brother is the football coach and nothing was done. Sports is bigger than ethics in some schools.

  If your kid plays for a serious program that regularly visits the playoffs then there is no family taking their kid on vacation in August. If they are then the kid suffers for it too bad. Mommy & daddy should know that since their kid has been in football for 3+ years now. Vacation from June through the middle of July. Can't we get away from "let's have different rules for each & every person because we are all so special". If you want that, play an individual sport like golf. Play golf with your dad on vacation in August because you are on the golf team.
  
  Part of football is being hit it is a violent sport, if you don't like getting hit then don't play football. I think a coach kicks a kid in the rear (not all his might), smack him in the head (helmet on), stiff JAB to the gut, no problem. If only one kid is going through this then it is a problem, if it is distributed throughout the team it is fine.
  
  A kid that isn't hustling, talking back, etc. is a cancer to the team. Don't discipline him, cut him, not worth the time.
