Double spinoff: most useful thing you've been told by a coach

"Son, I may not know much about women these days, but from the way some of the boys are talking about that girl, you better leave it alone. She may be fun for awhile, but herpes is forever."

"I always felt my greatest asset was not my physical ability, it was my mental ability"

- Bruce Jenner

"All of those parents and coaches that tell you winning isn't everything were losers. Of course winning is everything, it's the reason you play the game."

"That isn't an excuse, just a reason to work harder."

Tell myself that all the time

"The shower is this way"

We were playing in a championship game for Bantam Football. WR was running plays in.

First play of the game WR comes in calls I Right 40 Wham
We run it and get a big gain
Next Play WR comes in calls I Right Wham
We run for another big game
Next play WR comes in, coach said run that play till they stop us for less under 3 yards.
They never stop us we score
Go to the sideline, coach tells us.... "if aint broke we aint fixin it"

We ended up beating them pretty bad and basically ran a dive play up the middle the entire game.

"If you play every play like it's your last play then when the time comes for your last play you will not regret it."

Turned out to be complete BS in my case, though I doubt my coach accounted for the possibility of a crack cut block combo from a split TE and charging FB on a quick sweep would cause a broken tibia, torn ACL/MCL/PCL and broken clavicle.

Well T-baw, if you gonna be dumb you better be tough

Our coach said this all the time on Fridays
"Remember, no matter where you go, no matter what you do, somebody is always watching you"

was watching a little league game while waiting for our 12 year old son's game to start.

coach tells a kid that hasn't taken the bat off his shoulder all game "hey Timmy, give me that bat, you don't need it, just go stand up there empty handed"

lil Timmy says" but coach, my girlfriend is watching, i don't want to look like an idiot just standing there without a bat?"

coach looks at him and says "do you you really think you don't look like a dumbass just staring at 3 straight lollipops floating in cock high?"

kid hit a double on the first pitch of that at bat.
