1. “It’s your job to get me recruited, so why aren’t you helping me?” This one is hard, we are "amateur" football players and we will help out in anyway we can! But its your responsibility to get film and make the plays to get yourself noticed! We will do our job to push this team as high as we can, BUT we can't do it alone! we need the players to stand tall as well! 2. “ I want more playing time” Coaches know that everyone on the team wants to play every minute of every game. However, it’s just not possible. So, work harder and show that you deserve more playing time. But, don’t forget that there are other student-athletes on the team who also deserve a chance 3. Tell your coach how to run the team Your coach has been around the sport a lot longer than you have, so give him the credit and respect he deserves. However, your coach can’t see everything, especially if you play a large team sport. So, communicate with him, let him know what you’re observing and make suggestions. Just don’t assume you know more than your coach! 4. Excuses Telling your coach that something is too hard or that you can’t run one more lap is inexcusable. The best athletes push for one more rep, one more minute, one more lap to gain one more moment of glory. Take after the best and just make it happen…no excuses! 5. “$&*!” You wouldn’t swear in front of you grandma, so show your coach and your teammates the same respect. Making it a habit not to swear during practices will make it easier to keep it clean during competitions in which college coaches might be in the stands observing you. 6. Blame your teammates Take responsibility for your faults. Even if an error was someone else’s fault, don’t point the finger. Coaches like to see players who are leaders and are respectful to their teammates. 7. “I’m sorry for being late” Instead, don’t be late! Simple right?

Future Spartan players this team isn't for everyone. If your page is full of negativity then you must be also; that is NOT the kind of player we're looking for. We are looking for hungry ball players. Now to be fair, you don't have to be hungry, it would be bad of me to decline talent for not believing, but you must respect that we want those type & you must be coachable. But as for the aforementioned, we won't tolerate it. It's better to just not even try. Cause you would be cut. We understand slip ups, but if all that we see, hear, or feel is negativity you'll be gone.... WE WILL NOT BE ANY OTHER TEAM OUT THERE.. WE WILL STAND ALONE & ON TOP! The awesome coaching staff that we're going to have WILL PRODUCE AMAZING, RAW TALENT BY THE COACHABLE PLAYERS THAT WE'LL GET. We will be a VERY STRONG CONTENDER. People will notice and people will respect us! - Coach Finch
