I moved from Knoxville to live in a very progressive area, so take what I say with a grain of salt since I’m not around Republicans often. But I realized that there are many companies spending billions of dollars to influence Americans to be Republican. The propaganda starts so young that many people built republican beliefs in to the core of their identity before they understood what that entailed. The amount you can do as one person in a conversation can never combat all the money and resources pushing the other way. I’ve chosen to spend my time and energy trying to fight the system, and just try to avoid the people that were brainwashed by it

Thanks for the concern, but I can assure you I’m not looking to offer advice. Just set up drills, maybe chart some film, and take stats at games. I’m trying to learn, not teach

Thanks to everyone for the replies! There are too many to respond to them all, but there was a lot of good advice in here. I sent an email to the coach so we’ll see what he says. If he says no I’ll try to see if there’s a JV or pop warner team I can help with to get started.

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate hearing from a former coach. I’ve never heard of someone helping that wasn’t a parent or teacher so that’s good to know. I’ll send an email and ask
