Wow, tough 3rd practice. As I look at the schedule, I see we have 4 practices before our official kickoff classic scrimmage, and 6 before our first game. We have so much to do.
It was pouring rain last night, but no lightning. I handled all the calls from the mom contingent saying, "are you kidding?", to which I responded, "This is football weather, we are practicing!"
The kids seemed to like it, but when we got started, they were anywhere but practice mentally. Our form tackle drill was just atrocious. I spend a huge amount of time molly coddling our guys. Maybe too much. Eventually, after we showed them technique for about the 10th time, and it became obvious that they just didn't feel like doing, not that they couldn't, I ran them. Suddenly, they changed attitude.
Now, I should note, about 8 of my guys are solid, give effort at all times. The other 8 just became zombies on me.
