Getting paid more than below a dollar per hour would be great

[Florida Coaches Coalition @PayFLCoaches]

Some coaches have already called their Superintendents and demanded districts allow booster pay.

Some coaches have already banded together across their districts and pushed for higher supplements.

The legislation is working exactly the way it was intended to work and it was signed less than a week ago.

Stop being the coach who runs to social media complaining about not having a booster club. Start being the coach who builds relationships with parents and the community to create one.

Stop saying your district would “never” increase supplements if you have not even scheduled a meeting with your Superintendent to hear it directly from them.

You have 2 choices:
Fight for your worth or sit there and accept what you are given.

In the stands, a H.S. parent complains to anyone who will listen that his kid isn't playing much.

Another parent: "Team is 15-2, Top 5 in the state, winning the league."

Response: "I don't care about that."

And there you have it.

For some parents, it's never about the team.

Mid major coaches will never keep jobs or build programs consistently anymore. If a kid has any success they dip to something bigger and better

The most rewarding aspect of our work as coaches, leaders, and mentors is witnessing the success of others - big or small.

@coachjoshblount Lookin good!! That’s awesome. Refraining from making any slick comments on social media 🤣🤣🤣

[Skylar Davis @CoachDavis94]

@JustinBarneyTV @PayFLCoaches I appreciate your clarification!

[Skylar Davis @CoachDavis94]

@coachaschmitz Agreed, I really appreciate the group advocating for coaches, but my pay will never go up I promise lol.

[Skylar Davis @CoachDavis94]

@JustinBarneyTV @PayFLCoaches I gotcha. I knew some schools did that’s why I didn’t know it was illegal. Just depends on who you know I guess!

[News4JAX @wjxt4]

The law to help raise pay for extracurricular high school leaders, like coaches, goes into effect on July 1 in Florida. The big question now for area school districts is how to pull it off. https://t.co/S2kFC16eZh

@coachej6 Tough!!!!

Tommy Watkins: A man of the people🗣️

[Skylar Davis @CoachDavis94]

This is how I felt with our guys this year lol. They could absolutely swing it and made me look like a way better coach than I am!!

"We've had our struggles, even if that means we're only scoring 6, instead of 12." 🤣

That's how good Georgia Tech's offense is.

[Tommy Reamon Jr. @tommyreamon]

High school football is a crazy place right now.

Some kids care more about the graphic announcing their transfer than the actual team they’re transferring to.

[Skylar Davis @CoachDavis94]

lol this is so dumb. We all buy our kids food and give them rides but I don’t have 15k to do it. This basically says, “you can spend more than what you make on your players.” Gee thanks

[Rivals High School @RivalsHS]

NEW: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed Senate Bill 178 (Teddy Bridgewater Act) into law.

Allowing middle and high school coaches to use up to $15k of their own funds to support student-athletes with food, transportation and recovery services.
