What??? My reaction is not quite fit for print. Not only are sports the only thing that keep some kids in school, sports are often the only way some kids receive any positive feedback. It is often the only carrot we have to maintain any level of academic effort. There are many types of intelligence and team sports certainly address those intelligences. Similar to an artist, whose intelligences can’t be measured in concrete terms, an athlete often possesses skills that are difficult to measure. I am just as horrified at the thought of losing athletics as I would be of losing art programs.
Just in case anyone wonders, I am a parent of 3 boys, I sent them to a private school where sports are mandatory. They were already good students. The life lessons that are learned in team sports are irreplaceable. In fact, when my oldest son was interviewing for his current job (on wall street), he asked the recruiter what qualities they valued in an potential employee. The recruiter replied, first, we want at least a 3.0 average, second, we look for individuals who have participated in team activities. He further clarified by stating that team sports and other team activities teach individuals how to work together and balance responsibilities.
My vote..keep the sports, keep the eligibility rules, value the student!

When we realized that God was leading us away from Asheboro, we had no idea where. We seriously considered moving closer to my mom. We’re still 2 1/2 hours from her and 1:15 from Tammy’s parents, so we feel like this is a good middle spot for us. The need for stability for the boys kept us here when I resigned my last church.

I’ll keep my eye out for a job for you two. Would love the opportunity to work with you guys.

]]> Comment on Pregame Speeches – Give them or don’t give them? by Andy Huang https://davidhines.wordpress.com/2009/02/18/pregame-speeches-give-them-or-dont-give-them/#comment-25 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:10:12 +0000 https://davidhines.wordpress.com/?p=11#comment-25 I recently made a collection of both real life pre-game speeches and movie pre-game speeches. Most of them unsurprisingly came from football. I would say the purpose of them depends entirely on the coach. Some coaches prefer the rile them up, some prefer to instill confidence, and some prefer a combination of both. I personally like the ones that slowly build up to a big finish at the end.

Check these speeches out if you’re curious.

The head coach did not do a pre game speech. Most of the time was spent reviewing assignments. Now, this team had no natural leaders or motivators amongst them. They werent doing well the first four games. One of the assistant coaches stepped in and started delivering some fire & brimstone speeches and sure enough the team started winning. I’m convinced if it is done correctly and with passion, then it will help the team.

While there should definitely be clear and straightforward standards and rules about needing certain academic level to play, I think that those standards need to be realistic.

Setting benchmarks that need to be achieved is the easy way out as an administrator, but clear guidelines can ensure that extracurricular activities (sports, drama or otherwise) motivate a student to achieve, not get in the way of that.

I’d love to here what you think!

I can’t count the number times have I wanted to yank a kid off the Choir, Band or Drama trip that is taking place during the class day….a class that they are failing! Punishment should be fair and equal no matter the activity after school. Education is a must in today’s society; extra curricular are “EXTRA!”

]]> Comment on You Play How You Eat and Drink? by wcuCAT https://davidhines.wordpress.com/2009/02/22/you-play-how-you-eat/#comment-11 Wed, 04 Mar 2009 18:58:36 +0000 https://davidhines.wordpress.com/?p=18#comment-11 I agree. What our athletes drink is very important. One of the best ways for us to show them this is for us to set an example. I haven’t had a soft drink in 6 years now. I make sure my students know this. I always have 2 bottles of water on my desk for the studetns to see. I also only allow water in my classroom or gym. Absolutely no sodas or any other drink. I also go over the school lunch menu and talk about the healthier choices on the menu for the week. In the county I teach at we are about to get a nutrition board up with how many calories in each choice for everyday. We are getting these at the middle schools and high schools.
I beleieve our example is one of the most important, espcially for us young teachers. I also like for my students to see guys who just went off to college to play. High school kids love to hear from the guys a few years older than them and how they train and take care of their body.
