There’s a thread for this in the saloon ….
If a coach allows that kinda crap to go on, whether knowing and supporting or blissfully ignorant, sooner or later it’s going to get out of the capsule. When it does, he no longer has total control of his future. If a team wants to have the student athletes take corrective responsibility, set up a leadership counsel under supervision and run it that way. Glorifying what’s tantamount to a prison hierarchy isn’t the way.
No. I think they should have been men and solved their own damn problems. Noone hazes you unless you let them.
I’d agree on the level of the NFL. Not college athletics.
It went on for 100+ years of sports without any issues.
Sometimes acceptance trumps self confidence
I don’t believe that extreme has been or is what’s normal. Would you let a bunch of “teammates” hold you down and dry hump you or willingly put your hands on another guy’s junk or have him put it on yours? I’m telling you there’s a better way to develop a team bond. If it’s a survival of the fittest, the coaches should be perfectly capable of setting up man-to-man or team competitions to make those determinations. Urban Meyer was great in this aspect despite whatever may be thought of him personally. This secret society bull schit has been over-glorified. I’ll finish by saying that successful teams need some thugs, but they can’t be the rulers nor can that mindset prevail.
Sounds like an opportunity to develop more self confidence.
Let them? Hell, I'd instigate.
Brother, as a player and later as a coach, I had all the opportunities I needed to develop self-confidence during spring and summer workouts, two-a-days, fall practice, games, and off-season workouts. The guy I played for wasn’t f’n around and he knew how to pair us or team us up to create competition. You learned to win these battles and develop that pride and self-confidence and it often started by getting beat and then deciding whether to go again and bring more with you next time or find an easier sport. The culture he developed didn’t include a bunch of naked gay schit glorified as “Spartan” or some other heraldic nonsense.
Ox was one of the guys nude dry humping freshman during his senior year
Sometimes Trump's self confidence inhibits acceptance. Whoops, wrong thread.
Believe me, there”s no thread for this.
