Nice to see a good kid like Bryce Young have athletic & financial success. The kid was a talent, day one. What’s more impressive is that he has managed to stay grounded usually a trait of someone who has long term plans for his future.
Great article on the Monrovia head football coach. Wish the man lots of luck. Monrovia hired a person with a track record. What captured my attention from that article was his emphasis on “teaching.” Where have all the great youth and high school coaches gone?
Today we now have many coaches who can’t teach the game correctly;
court-jesters (social media odd-ball personalities) promising young people scholarships and fleeting fame (in today’s era of social media a college coach will find you); people coaching with questionable backgrounds and motives influencing youth and lack of proper financial compensation for great coaches (winning records, production and impact within a community) especially, at the public school level. I guess it’s safe to state SPORTS REFLECT SOCIETY.
Any news about the new Downey BB coach ?
