Well, I certainly understand your point. But imo, most that coach do it because they enjoy coaching, even with all the negatives. They take the hit on pay because of that enjoyment. I certainly didn't enjoy the jobs I did for 50 years. Wish I would have. And there was plenty of stress. For those coaches that do the job, my hats off to them. And if you don't understand the pride, sense of accomplishment, at helping make people's lives better, and having those same folks remember you for your influence on them, that's something I can't explain to you. As with all our livelihoods, Coaching is not for everyone.
And thanks to those folks that do coach, you, me, and thousands of others, are getting ready to go see some great HS football. Hope your team wins (unless it's West Hardin lol).
