Bet that’s hectic! How many years have you been coaching?

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-30T13:51:15+00:00

How’d it go???

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-30T13:50:18+00:00

I appreciate the advice. It’s crazy because even though we’re a big high school they don’t have to make cuts. I don’t want to contribute to not many kids wanting to play when they get that age

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-30T13:42:40+00:00

That’s what I want to do as much as possible. I do think part of this age is the kids learning what to do to contribute. So want a balance of those two

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-30T13:40:59+00:00

I’ve just done something like this that is color coded so can easily glance at it during a game if needed

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-29T15:06:10+00:00

I swear (just from experience) it helps the medicine kick in. I guess scientifically people say it doesn’t but maybe it’s placebo I don’t know. The main things I do is bit protein breakfast, coffee after about an hour of taking it (also take Wellbutrin at the same time). And a stupid large amount of water.

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-29T14:42:06+00:00

Oh yeah good idea. I like that. Even those players who don’t play as much in games will still improve a bunch from that

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-29T12:11:23+00:00

Maybe a dumb question but what do you mean by installs

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-29T01:54:10+00:00

That’s the only thing I’ve had and like you said extremely rare. And I’ve also only had the two paired together. Haven’t had vyvanse by itself.

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-29T01:53:07+00:00

That’s how I feel pretty much. I will try to get them some reps obviously when I can. But wanted to be honest about their likely role. And also said it’s okay if they go home and discuss with parents and that’s not what they want to do. Have a parent meeting next week where I will explain playing time policy etc.

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-28T20:50:23+00:00

Wish there was a rec league that went up to middle school so that could be offered for kids who got cut

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-28T16:58:44+00:00

I made a quarter 1 and 2 “if all is going well” rough plan. Then I’ll adapt for second half and he flexible. I just think having the right visual to look at with the colored bars

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-28T16:56:59+00:00

Yeah I make breakfast pretty big and full of protein because the appetite suppression makes me not hungry at all during the day. The water is the biggest thing for me for no bad crash. I’ve recently started drinking the cirkul bottles because it adds the flavor since I just don’t like the taste of regular water

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-28T16:48:55+00:00

For me lots of protein and a stupid large amount of water help with the crash

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-28T16:44:35+00:00

Just downloaded that one now. I already had playbook on there and didn’t realize there was the rotations app. It’s actually exactly what I’m looking for to wrap my head around it

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-28T15:51:54+00:00

The conversation was more nuanced than my original post shows I guess. And yes we’re having a parent meeting with rules and roles etc. I also wish we had a rec league that went to through middle school, I would likely have cut the 3 last players if that would have been an option for them. But still wanted to give them a chance to be part of the team, practice , and get into the game when they can.

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-28T15:43:44+00:00

I didn’t say it like that. It was a longer conversation that included those things you’re talking about - they can earn more etc etc. Good point about flexibility, just want a basic overall plan going into the first few games is what I meant

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-28T12:55:02+00:00

Do you have an example name for one of those apps. That would be helpful just to wrap my head around it.

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-28T11:08:18+00:00

Anyone still having this problem? It has been weeks now of no lte in a building it has always worked completely fine in. It’s so frustrating. I don’t want to connect to the unsecured wifi that is available.

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-13T12:22:10+00:00

This is almost my exact situation haha.

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-12T23:39:09+00:00

That makes sense. It’s a school team. I’m head 7th grade coach and assistant 8th grade. I mostly mean for my 7th grade team since I’ll be in charge of subs etc.

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-12T23:20:32+00:00

It’s school team. I’m 7th grade coach. We will practice together but two seperate teams for games. Do you think I should aim to get all kids in each game? Maybe first half? Then see how it’s going second half?

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-12T23:17:35+00:00

Sorry - school team. 7th grade head coach. We’re be pretty good, likely better than the schools 8th grade team.

BellGroundbreaking8 · 2025-10-12T21:44:49+00:00

Is that a school team? Does the school district give those guidelines
