I have talked to quite a few coaches around the state, and quitting seems to be on the rise this year. Our guys want to come up with a top ten list, based upon excuses that have been used this year....among those:
My mom made me quit.
My mom wants me to sing.
My dad caught me with dip.
I like to wrestle, but I don't want to practice.
I'm too good for JV.
I'm burned out.
I just want to chill.
I'm D1 material in football.
I'm going to study more.
My Dad wants me to wrestle, and I'm mad at my Dad.
I need to work to save money for
a) college,
b) insurance,
c) a car,
d) a speeding ticket
The coach is an !&^#@%&
Can anyone add to the list with REAL statements that were used?
