Also as a coach , you can explain to parents about not playing their kids with you don’t want them to get hurt . They are a lower string for a reason such as slow development, not knowing plays , or they just don’t m work as hard as the first stringers . You never want to risk a kid getting hurt just because parents get angry that their kid isn’t getting playing time and that’s what they need to understand .
I had a year where I was a starting guard and back up d lineman I had a game where I had 3 special team tackles and I got the start for the rest of the season
Also when parents yell at a ref for a bad call on they're kid. If they're kid is a receiver and there's a late hit on him, let the coaches and refs deal with it. One game, one of our receivers got a late hit by a corner and a parent yelled that the ref is an idiot cause he didn't call it and that gave us a penalty and moved us back 10 yards. its bad!
Partially agree with the last one but if you have a head ache (fairly painful/ consistent over 4+ hours) you do not need to be in the field no matter how good you are, your brain is nothing to play with some "little headache" could turn into a life altering injury and then you won't be on the field for the rest of your life
@@Jaedennm passion of the game is what that is its obviously not intelligent to play through any head ailment whether a concussion or not. However I dont blame you I love football aswell
My nephew was baisically forced to play with a concusion after he got an illegal hit to the side of his head . I was pissed because during week of school he was having head aches and my sister had to pick him up early from school because he was not feeling well but thank God it didnt got any sirious.
So true. My mom was the only one at my game in my family. And I was on the sideline and my mom after the game she said to my defense coach and said put him on the line.
So I have problems w my wrist & I usually tape it up. So my mom didn’t notice & I jammed my finger on the last play of a drive so as I was coming off my mom came running onto the field to ask if I was okay because she saw the tape. 🙂
I have to discipline myself to not scream, act a fool or bother my son while on the side line. I try to remember always how easily I was embarrassed at his age by my parents.
Parents shouldn’t say when their kids shouldn’t be playing? WTF?!?! A parent is the person that can’t be told wether their kid is gonna play! Even if it’s for a dumb reason the parents need to be respected and ultimately what they say goes in terms of if their kid is being benched
So I'm a referee for my cities league, and I can't tell you enough. Parents need to stop trying to be coaches from the sideline. In our league, we have ropes between the sideline and the benches. If you don't have a coaching badge, are holding chains, or are just a player, please just stop coming in front of the ropes just because you want to congratulate your kid or aomething. I get it that he is doing good but you have to know your bounderies. That's one thing he didn't mention. Parents please know your bounderies. Don't try and challenge our judgement on the field just because we called a penalty on your kid. We have bad enough days sometimes as it is. We don't need people like you making it worse. Thank you.
One more thing, when it comes halftime, and the chains are moved, just go to the sideline. I don't want to have to warn you that you need to get back. KNOW YOUR BOUNDARIES
Not gonna lie, that boasting one is a lil bs. They're proud, and the kid earned the position. If the parent wants to boast a little, let them because it's all part of the game. Players do it, coaches do it, so what makes the parents any different? Just because one kid works harder than the other to get the position, doesn't mean we should shush and/or shame that. The parents put in a lot of time, and some parents even help their children outside of practice to get better, so they feel like they want to tell people, which is completely fair. This whole "saving people's feelings, and everyone gets a trophy" bullshit is dumb and doesn't work. I'm an athlete, and it didn't work that way for me when I played. The winners got the trophy and got to boast, and the losers got to think about how to win it next year. This applies to the parents as well, not just the kids/team.
