My High School Coach is LAZY‼️

I hear this a lot and quickly educate the parent this way:

Your HS coach has to coach Football, Track, plus Wrestling

Has 220 students and those parents to keep happy and take care of.

Papers to grade for 2 hours a night.

Early AM weight room duty (unpaid)

Plus, kids of his own at home that he hasn’t seen in 4 months and a wife who’s stressed to the max because she’s a single mom most of the year.

Lazy…I think not. The system isn’t set up for you to have a full-time non-stop hands on personal wrestling coach like the college men and women have.

It’s called HS athletics.

So go easy on them…they’re likely putting in a lot more hours a week than 95% of America is.

@grok What about the most famous person in sports?

[Jacob Pedersen @pedersen1985]

Hey @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn’t need to be a mutual, don’t tag them, just say who it was.

@PSchneider_IAS No doubt in my my you would have been successful!

[Jacob Pedersen @pedersen1985]

@PSchneider_IAS If you had a chance to do it all over again.. hockey or wrestling? Or would have made both work?

[Jacob Pedersen @pedersen1985]

@PSchneider_IAS I guess he will just prove it on the mat 🤷‍♂️

[Jacob Pedersen @pedersen1985]

@robbiekerr33 Still wasn’t a fair catch

NFV has only had a soccer program the last five years.

[Deron Durflinger @DeronDurflinger]

Congrats to Coach Waldron and the @vanmeterschools soccer team on an outstanding season. Runner up in year 4 of a program is impressive, but we just got outplayed today by @NFVtigerhawks. Hats off to NFV. #vanmeter #rolldawgs
