…The Boy had Monday off school and was bored and wanted to lift at home or something.
I was like, “whatever, do this sends txt but everything should be super easy and fast”.
–OHP: 85x5x5
–INVERTED ROWS: BW x 12 x 4
–PUSHUPS: x 20 x 4
–ONE ARM DB ROW: 60x8x4
HSFB CONSISTED OF:
-Watch game film.
-Then they went to lift weights, because somehow the head coach could not make practice for some reason.
The coach had the entire bag of footballs in his car still from Friday night’s game.
I guess the other 3-and-half-coaches decided this was an insurmountable stumbling block to overcome … so
they watched more film, and then told the kids to just lift.
The Boy texted me; I told him to simply tell the coaches he lifted already, and Sunday … and Saturday.
They were fine. He did some hang power cleans with 95# and then went outside and he threw the ball with Pete.
Sooooooo…liiiiiiike… WTF over?
We could hit, practice tackling, drills, sprint … lineman could do lineman shit (that doesn’t involve a god damned football).
The head coach’s wife has some bad medical issues going on now for 1 year, he’s fine…gets a total pass.
But the OC and DC and LineCoach and the other intern-school-kids-coach can’t throw together a practice without the head honcho?
In other news:
There are rumors coming from of the other kids (whose fathers are coaches at the school for different sports) that’s its likely
the school may not have enough players to form a football team next year. And I can see it. We are losing a lot of seniors.
We barely can form a team now: about 20-22 kids now; and about 10 of these are their first time ever playing tackle football.
The Boy literally said, “It’s my generation’s fault, kids my age are more interested in video games, social media, politics, using proper gender pronouns, etc …kids aren’t interested in sports”.
And keep in mind, our school really pushes sports and physical activity for an academic-focused-school.
If the team turnout is small, I guess they could quickly appeal to the AIA, and get moved down to the smallest conference.
I don’t know how in the hell we got bumped up from the smallest conference to the one up from there (this happened two years ago).
This is all something to think about going forward…
say if the wholesale deletion of football happens …
EDIT: IDK what we are going to do. You can’t be eligible for a public school team if the Charter doesn’t offer the sport.
The whole thing is depressing.
C10 caused:
End of 2020, the whole track season got shit canned.
2021, the track season started late, and was kind abbreviated.
Football 20’-'21 in 8th grade got severally truncated .
Now this shit, with Football.
==========================
10-26-2021 TUES
HS FB Practice
(20) 20 yard sprints with only a dozen or so seconds of rest in between.
==========================
In other news: I found another Youth Combine locally …its occurs in May
The results are impossible to find, as they market these things to put a “profile” together for kids to market themselves to recruiters.
This is all a big scam, as 95% of the kids won’t play college ball (based on the metrics I’m seeing) …and it costs money.
Point is, the info/results/data ain’t public.
BUT, they had a live stream (still up) on YT, in reviewing the video, the pause on the excel spreadsheet a bit … a sort of leaderboard.
You can see the most of the results for the WRs, RBs, an QBs.
It was actually a beam started beam finished 40 … only a few kids got down to 4.8 or 4.9. Which is normal. (hand timed would yield 4.6-4.7).
Here’s a whole thing on why 40 times are bullshit:

Add to that: people lie (coaches, kids, parents, etc).
