The switch has been flipped - son's football


Oct 25, 2019, 9:33 AM

This week was the last week of practice for my son's pop warner team. They play on Saturday against the Fort Jackson Falcons for the Midlands Pop Warner Championship.

He's been doing pretty good this year, mostly on the o-line, but I haven't been able to get him to play with intensity or "get mad". Not sure what happened this week, but he has been killing people at practice. The moved him to defensive end and he's been wrecking people. After school this week, he's been playing Madden instead of Fartnight and asking me tons of football related questions. He's been wearing his game jersey to school most of the week. Little dude is dialed in now.

He's big kid for his age. The coaches have been saying all year, "if we could just get him to play with a chip on his shoulder, he'd be killing people out there... he's strong as a mule... he's just too well-mannered of a kid and worried about hurting somebody."

TLDR: Proud father brag.

I blame YOU for it taking so long.

If you'd used him for alligator bait and tied a rope around his leg and thrown him in the swamp, you'd have made him mean as a snake. Jerry Reed said so.

Sounds kinda like LilSlac#2, 'cept he plays futbol


Oct 25, 2019, 10:06 AM

instead of football. He's always been about a head taller than most kids his age and bulkier, not like Fat Albert bulky, but not beanpole lookin' like most kids. So he looks like a giant on the pitch, and what nobody's expects is that he's the fastest kid on the field, too. One day during training for his travel squad an asst. coach, this German kid, got all up in his ### about being lazy on the field. Just lit into him, chased him around through drills yelling at him and made him mad as h3ll. They go to scrimmage for the last 30 minutes, coach puts him up top, and he scores 3 goals in the first 10. Moved him to center back afterwards until he destroyed the ball hog kid that was playing forward for the other side. Then they made him sit out. He came off with a big goofy grin on his face, head coach made him run laps for what would've been a red card, but he kept the goofy grin the whole time.

It's like flippin' a switch, he'll fall back into lazy during a match til another player makes him mad or a coach gets after him. After that, it's game on.

Get him some real men's cleats, and not some Euro-crap.

It's time to become ryanpony.

WAY TO GO, DAD!!!!!!!!!!!

"He's been wearing his game jersey to school most of the week."

Give the kid some foooking clothes to wear so he doesn't have to wear the same thing every day. Do you even get him clean underwear?

Is your son 6'6?


Oct 25, 2019, 10:43 AM

Had our 6'6 bench warmer finally flip the switch this week and start playing pissed off. This was hard to do since he's home schooled.

Put our starting 6'6 tackle (who can't stand each other) in the dirt. He's now starting.

Good for him.

I'm thinking he found out that cheerleaders go for the star.
