Unless he doesn’t win. Then it will be a big deal and he will get fired over it.
Texas football coach: Water breaks are "woke"
- Thread starter torbee
- Start date
Where in Texas did you live? I assume you speak from firsthand knowledge - correct?
It’s funny because both my brothers played HS football here in Jacksonville in the 60’s and there were no water breaks. My husband played for a legendary high school coach at Coral Gables and there were no water breaks in Miami either.
The common theory then was some wrongheaded fear of health issues if the kids drank water but thankfully it’s gone by the wayside nationally including in Texas. I taught high school in Texas in the late 90’s and the kids practiced at 6:30 AM and after 7 PM during two a days to minimize heat exposure and water breaks were standard.
The coach who wrote this memo was probably mad at some woke parents and I agree he didn’t do himself any favors with a poorly written commentary.
Assuming he isn't just being a gasbag and the kids get all the water they want ........
Unless all the kids are 18+, shouldn't this bring up some concerns with the local medical establishments and/or law enforcement about endangerment?
With such an erroneous statement like "nobody's ever died in the heat before", this guy isn't exactly a brainiac.

When I watch football games and there are multiple cases of players cramping, can’t I assume there’s a hydration issue?
Hahaha. Totally made up. Hence, the blacked out name of high school.
Looks like he got his 15 minutes of fame

This is a tale a little too tall for you to believe? It truly amazes what you believe and what you call BS on. Do you have to have some kind of brain damage? Crash a lot during BMX?
Ya, everyone's kid should grow up to be a pussy like Spencer..........
Yes. I moved to Texas my Jr year and went out for football. After I blacked out running burners at the end of the first practice (two a days) I was told that I owed him the last two sprints that afternoon. I blacked out because “ water was for varsity”.
Lol I always love the "I don't post much but...." social media posts.
NOTHING good or helpful ever comes from those posts. If you feel the need to state that before you say something, just don't say it because it's going to be incredibly stupid.

This is why water breaks are standard operating procedure and have been for years.
Not 15 every 45
I grew up in Minnesota…different era…different rules…but I can promise ya that in December I never had a practice last less than the max allowed by rules…was more physical than anything you can imagine… and was done at a dry 115 everyday
…then when it was over we as students stayed and worked out without coaches for another couple hours

I mean, he used the words “woke” and “pronouns” - its a very short straight line.
Lots of girls at theater camp. And some scenes require kissing them. Just saying.
To this day I still chuckle at the 8th grade studs that thought I was less than a man than them because I decided on Home Ec over Shop
As usual, just a dynamite addition to the discourse from you.
Harmless.

Korey Stringer's death, 20 years later: The lasting impact and how the NFL changed
During 2001 training camp, Vikings lineman Korey Stringer died at age 27 from exertional heatstroke. In the aftermath, new protocols and a psychological pivot changed football.
Coach Giesler in his first year at Clinton High in 1983 only let us have ice cubes and salt tablets during two a days.
No friggin clue where he came up with that.
The next year we got water.

You can, but it’s not necessarily the fault of the coach. The water they are getting at practice and games is expelled during the event. The water they actually need is what they drink at home, including vitamin intake and such.
Kids eat and drink like shit at home. Half the time we have a kid go down in the morning heat his first statement is “I didn’t eat anything this morning.”
I did the heatstroke in the middle east and I turned out good.
Imagine having such a small, withered, wrinkly dick and balls that it compels you to make such a pathetic and idiotic statement on social media for everyone to read and laugh at. I’m sure that coach thinks he’s quite the stud.
If only Corey had high schooled in Texas, where men are men…..,Harmless.

The precautions they take now are good - not only just water breaks but think about how they stop games now when there’s a rumble of thunder off in the distance. I bet that really chaps this dude.
There is actually a formula of how much to drink 2-3 hours prior to an event, an hour prior, how much during the game/practice and then how much after. Not that anyone really follows it, but there is data out there.
