[QUOTE="shorthairman, post: 227247, member: 6223"] First of all, I agree that this is absolutely unacceptable. However, this guy was not a coach. He was a trainer. Injured athletes were sent to him for treatment. Worm Wiggler- I respectfully disagree with your sports comment. Video games, internet, iPhones, etc are the dominating use of free time and wasters of money. I have been in education for nearly 20 years. Kids can and do learn valuable lessons from athletics. Yes they do cost money and they do require a time commitment. However, electronics are worse wasters of time and money plus they are adding to the ever growing obesity problem youth have as well as their lack of social skills, disattachment to reality, and many others. I’m not sure what it is like in other areas, but in the system I am in we are seeing less and less involvement in athletics.
