This is a huge rant of mine—kids who are being punished because of low GPAs in schools and can't play basketball. If kids are simply not completing the work, exhibit poor behavior, and cause issues- then, by all means, they should be dealt with sternly. However, many students learn differently to have an arbitrary GPA dictating whether they can participate in sports. If coaches are unwilling to find out why their students are struggling, stop coaching or get rid of a GPA system.

End your training sessions and practices with a WIN! Planning too much "stuff" in one practice is a sure way to eliminate wins.

Being on your toes is wrong! We have to stop telling players to get off their heels and way up on the balls of their feet.

I will make many people mad, especially in the Physical Education World, but the Beep Test needs to go! It teaches horrible running form, tells us what we already know- kids are not in shape.
