Sounds like someone who's a hard worker & dedicated to his craft...
Which is avoiding accountability & not working hard at all.

Imagine using someone’s poor character as something to flex on….

Yeah, I've seen this too. He has been getting by on talent alone and at some level it stops and you have to put in the work. He probably doesn't love the game/grind. My daughter was something like this, She was a great soccer player, was going to be the next great thing, went to Man U soccer academy, played above her level, played on a German boys team same age and was the leading scorer in the league, had the US coaches come out and see her when she was 13, and was in the German soccer pool starting since 6. Everyone wanted her to be great but like the team psychologist told us "she is going to quit by 16 because she doesn't love the game. she gets by on talent and right now that's enough but you need to love the game and the work to get to the next level." Sure enough, she quit by 16.I'm not a hater at all, so call me crazy, but I hope he gets his **** together.
Seen this so many times, it isn't even funny and it usually doesn't work out. Kid is talented at whatever age, balls out on talent alone, everyone from parents to friends and even parents juice him up. Kid thinks he's the best ever doesn't have to work, study, and will absolutely make it. Through their environment, they're never held accountable for anything and make their own rules sort of.
Well, eventually you can't just get by on talent. Even if you could, you're not going to put up with some coach telling you what to do, everyone's told you how great you are, etc
Everyone has failed him to this point. If someone doesn't get through to him and he in turn humbles himself while working harder than he ever has, we know how the story goes.
I won't lose any sleep either way. As I said, I've seen it. He's gotta be awake now, he wasn't before, and it's on him at this point. I just hate talent going to waste and don't wish failure on anyone. No should've or could've, just do it and be about it.
So definitely not BF then.When I was in high school, one could qualify for the lowest level of Bright Futures (which was probably piddly) with a 970 SAT. 970.
**** Bright Futures and **** UF.

Is this good or bad for us?![]()
None of those bums “left for promotions”. Maybe you could count Steele’s one year simpathy gig at Alabama a promotion but that’s questionable. Mario was professional enough to tell them all “hey you’re fired but I’m going to let you take other jobs to save face”. Well, except for Gattis who they eventually had to fire for cause. Everyone who left took a step down from their position here. Nobody was promoted to a better job.The coaches that left did so for promotions not on some **** show tour. It is what should be happening at a good University. The whole dichotomy of the situation is up for debate.
I’m with you that Mario was already discussing replacing them but Both coaches last year left for “promotions” technically.None of those bums “left for promotions”.

Hopefully she found that one thing she loves then. Good read and what a fun ride to the point she quit. Youth soccer is far more intense and one **** of a grind than most sports, including American football. I'm in it with my 10 year old and with the way his travel is working out this spring (rescheduled games along with 3 days of practice) we'll literally have 3 (maybe 4, it's a daze) of no soccer days this month. He would practice daily, so we'll see if he keeps that going forward.
The closest thing to us is practice, 40 to 45 minutes away. I love the drive as that's time that I would lose to friends and games online with his friends as his Dad isn't as cool as he once was. Miss those days where he wanted to go to every store with me. Good seeing him grow though, even if I miss all those moments. Toss on baseball and football for our giant 13 year old, it's safe to say it's work and sports all the time for is.
TrumpyCane wants you to learn about youth tennis and the crazy that goes around in that

Cormani isn't seeing the field against us.
