The Player Coach Exchange of The Day

It take you back to uniform/equipment day and give you this actual exchange between a player and myself yesterday before practice.

Player: Coach I need a tailbone pad.
Me: Where's yours?
Player: I never got one.
Me: Why didn't you get one on Friday?
Player: I didn't think I needed one.

Remember "patience and understanding." It has been a lot of fun getting back into it. Kids, at the core, really haven't changed too much through the years. They do seem to bring a bit more baggage though, which isn't their fault.
We're reaching the point where some kids are getting it and really starting to fly around the field and there's the other group that isn't sure of themselves. The unsure of themselves group have some who have that "this isn't football in the backyard" look on their faces. I hope they stick it out.
