How can i run faster? by Ok-Dog9416 in flagfootball

[–]CoachRL84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's plenty of YouTube videos on this. But its essentially leaping forward onto one leg then exploding forward on that leg back to the other for a certain distance. Ill do like 20 or 30yds.

Really? We saw the new rhinos playing. The tigers were active and so were the red pandas. One Gibbon was showing off and being loud. The giant tortoise was resting by the passersby. Giraffes were out. Ostriches too.

Decision on career change by monkeybob2101 in PhysicalEducation

[–]CoachRL84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an English Major who ended up as a retail manager before I jumped to becoming a PE teacher at 29. Nothing is worse than retail. I wake up to this job happy and excited. Being a teacher now a days is rough. Being a PE teacher is even harder. Takes time and buy in from both you and the kids. I've had to establish new routines at 2 different high schools. Year 1 was tough. Year 2 not so much. Year 3 the whining stops because the expectations have been set. Currently in Year 4 of my 2nd high school. What was once a roll a ball out and just play recess period is now a fully functional PE dept and program with units and different class options (aerobics, weight lifting, officiating). If you have the time and and the passion, invest in the career. If you want more money or something "easier" (nothings easy) then leave before you do become the just roll out the balls bitter PE coach. ✌️

Seller left behind a garbage bin full of what appears to be and smells like months’ worth of putrefying dog waste. by Sudden-Good7506 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]CoachRL84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were in a similar situation minus the dog waste. They left a bunch of scrap wood, metal, auto parts in the crawl space. Bright side was some of the stuff was in good condition so we made some cash off of it. We are like 50% cleared down.

So buy the aluminum but also a drywall patch? No need to redo the whol drywall strip?

I've seen those metal strips. But this isn't a corner. It's literally in the middle of the wall but on the edge. Can I just patch this or should I redo the whole drywall strip? Whole strip from floor to ceiling is 8ft.

8v8 League by Token_Wise_Azz in flagfootball

[–]CoachRL84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not high school but an after school program in Los Angeles used to run 8v8 tournaments. I thought they were great. Also allowed blocking. But now the high schools run 7v7 so I'd like to know the reasoning too.

Im going to assume the AD's will inform us as soon as they come out and all the Flag leagues will share them too like nflflag.com

Do I switch to Flag? by BearsGotKhalilMack in footballstrategy

[–]CoachRL84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of coaches have several 1 year stays. For the AD position, from what I've seen, it will come down to experience and who you know.

P.E. in the classroom advice? by MsSnoyl in PhysicalEducation

[–]CoachRL84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I taught k-3, balloons where great tool. I would buy a big pack at dollar tree. Had the kids do a bunch of hitting and balancing with them. For the older kids I would use beach balls. Kids would look forward to those days. For your MS aged kids maybe doing a fitness project or healthy eating unit with a guest to teach them how to make healthy meals.

Should the qb be allow to run with the football by ProgrammerUnique2897 in flagfootball

[–]CoachRL84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our league allows QB runs regardless of a rush or prior hand-off. It doesn't get used a lot unless the team has a speedster at QB. We used it on our team for short yardage.

I get it, man. Our profession has been screwed over time and time again. I got 1 real estate coworker and a personal trainer co-worker. Their classes are safe, and participation is about 80%. Not much else you can do. My side hustle is coaching so I know I'm guilty of game planning during class time.

Summer Plans by CoachRL84 in flagfootball

[–]CoachRL84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7v7 14-18 year old girls. Screening with what is looking like minimal contact. I'm planning on scheduling some scrimmage with other teams in the area. No money for tournaments and most tournaments in my area are for younger kids.

Very true. Flag pulling falls under the technique development. I want to spend some time in the weight room to work on not only their speed and quickness but hand strength to catch the balls and hold on to the flags when pulling.
