HCHY List: 17 reasons why football is better than high school

[JEFF WELLS]

awesome comments...I like idea that coaches who are building character
do it quietly without needing recognition..."servant leaders". In
officiating a high school football game, it is always the goal of our
crew to leave the field having not been noticed during the game.

I
also really like the article "17 reasons..." I had not seen it. I
noticed it was written in 1998. I am excited that the high school I
work in has done alot of professional development to make our teaching
more like coaching...several of the 17 reasons are no longer being
violated in my working environment.

Continued good dialogue...

I feel most extracurricular activities are
quality programs offered by quality people =96 but the programs that do not
espouse character are the programs everyone hears about =96

There are a lot of great people doing lots
of great things =96 they are quiet about it and just go on about their day
without wanting or needing recognition =96 the BEST type of leaders are =93=
servant
leaders=94.

  Great article Richard
  -- thanks for sharing!  Extracurricular activities are meant to be
  engaging and have so much to offer our young people now and in the future.
  The problem is when extracurricular activities (sports or
  otherwise) do not have those qualities, which happens way too often
  unfortunately.  Colleen
