wrestlin4food Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 As a young head coach I haven't had any problems with refs. If anything I think they have gone out of there way before matches to talk to me and answer any questions. I think my biggest problem is numbers. I don't work at the school so it's hard for me to bring guys up. I visited every freshman gym class but had no luck. My problem this year is because of small numbers (and probably my young age) the kids think they can get away with more. I'm in a bind because I don't want to kick kids off the team but at the same time if someone misses a lot of practices it is setting a bad example. It doesn't help that the 2 kids giving me the most problems are seniors. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't help that the 2 kids giving me the most problems are seniors. Any advice? Start fresh. I have the same issue this year as I am in my first year as a head coach. I had a few seniors that decided not to come back out. At first it was hard and I really wanted them out on the team because of my low numbers. But as a few weeks past I was totally fine with it. I have guys on the team that do nothing but work hard for me and that's all I can ask for right now. I have no problem with giving up 3-4 forfeits right now, cause when we do pick up dual wins it makes it even better. You can't accomplish everything in your first year, it is just a stepping stone to what you will do with your program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachRyan_Delta Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Just for my own clarification, at what point do you stop being young? ;D When your knees give out! ;D If age is determined by your knees, that makes me about 75-80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
