“We are all here to have fun… and losing is no fun” - my little league coach

I remember the kids that didn't give 100% at practice having to run during the water break. Also our water was from a garden hose hooked up to a pvc pipe with holes drilled across it.

"kid can't catch a cold" had me dying

"Only reason he's on the team is cause I need someone to pick the cones up after practice" 🤣💕👍

Our coach was a former Army drill sergeant. Sometimes instead of wind sprints, he would sit in his car and make us push him around the parking lot. We hated/loved him!

Back in 1988, my drill sergeant like coach was aways drinking a beer. We won the ciry championship that year. One of the best coaches I've ever had.

The old school coach needs the “coach” shorts. Every coach had them back in the day

"You hear that? It's the I suck at football alarm and it's going on for you" every small towner knows the tornado alarm lol

“Lesson, keep your bones Inside your body”😂”Can you play on Friday”?🤣😂

Im so damn glad I had a “then” coach growing up, It sucked then, but looking back I would give anything to be back in it

Don’t worry, all football coaches I’ve had are “then” coaches and everyone fucking loved it

My favorite soccer coach (Dave Berman you were the best!) made us run 1 mile every practice (at 9 years old). We won every game easily simply by being 1000 times better conditioned than everyone else. That was the best season ever and a very important life lesson - hard work can beat natural ability all day long.

It was so nice coaching “then” and telling kids/parents the truth about their abilities. Thank you for making this. You’ve made us “old coaches” laugh 🤣🤣

Had a then coach in football, we were be practicing in the Sat am on a very foggy morning. All ran off in the fog just out of his view and stopped. He came running through the fog caught us standing. We spent the rest of the two hours doing suicides windsprints and running hills. Lost at least 5lbs from puking 🤮 but he made us better players. God I miss when coaches could be coaches

We need a PT 2 of them and now playing each other.

I loved my football coach. Ill never forget "youre gonna run until I get tired watching you!!!!" Seriously though great coach, great guy that made everyone around him a better person!

I remember playing football in elementary school. Run 2 laps backwards, 6 forward, he had big rings and would practically punch you in the helmet. During the knee down at end of practice all of our heads would be steaming. Kinda miss it.

“Water is a mindset” best quote I’ve ever heard

Your kid can’t catch a cold 😂😂

Having many “then” coaches when I played hockey between 1st grade and my senior year of high school, they were the entire reason I would make any progress, and the reason i performed at my peak when it was game time. They pushed me way further than I ever thought I could go, and because of that I’m super grateful for all of my coaches proving to me that I was better and stronger than I thought I could ever be. They taught me a lot of solid lessons, taught me to have a relentless work ethic, and just like with everyone else who was lucky enough to have coaches like that, It 100% carries over into adult life.

That 'perfect' speech made me perk up a little. My high school football coach used to say that 'Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect."

I remember my HS coach had a kid do a play in practice without his helmet because he was sitting on it.

Luckily, I never had a “now” coach. Granted, never played football just wrestling

Had a then coach and remember a 95 degree day during camp and we did a drill for about a hour straight. Sent 6 out of the 14 lineman we had to the training room with heat exhaustion. Everyone else on the team was watching us do that drill in pure terror lol. But hey got me a scholarship cause of that man.

“Keep your Bones inside your legs” Funny!!!

My nephew’s soccer coach: “ok guys, we probably won’t win this game” Me: “wtf is with this defeatist attitude?”

Brought back SO MANY memories. The old school coach is what’s needed now a days.

This country needs a whole lot more then coaches, now.

So happy that even in this day and age I still have a “then” coach. It prepares you

because football is such a rough sport, especially at the higher levels, it kind of is like preparing for combat/war. So a "Then" coach is better if you want to win because you are treated like a soldier. It helps for contact sports. BUT looking back now at some of the things my football coach taught all of us about "This is what a winner is", It doesn't work in real life. It works on the field, but there was some downright narcissistic philosophies that he taught us. Things like, "A winner walks through the door first. He doesn't open the door for anybody." Or another one was "A winner walks in the room like this." Then he mimed walking into the room with his head pulled back, and his chest puffed out, arms pulled back and out, walking very proud and cocky. he taught a very me-first, self-serving, narcissistic attitude. It works for making you not afraid to be a brutal force out on the field, he made us tougher, and he was a mastermind of a play-caller. But i carried some of those attitudes into real life outside of football and if the 2 greatest commandments that Jesus gave us were to love others as if they were me, and to love God with everything I am, narcissism doesn't work well for a life well lived. This is coming from a guy who got a scholarship to play D2 football. I'll take the "Then" coach over the "Now" coach if it is about winning, but the "Then" coaches also treat their players pretty poorly at times too. Sometimes I could not have cared less about what my coach was saying when he is ragging on a player or the whole team for something the rest of us ALL saw it as not that big of a deal. It's like this weird tension between wanting to be a good/competitive team and to improve as a player, while at the same time, I don't want to be walking around on eggshells having to constantly prove myself to my coach/ win his approval every practice. To give somebody that much power over you, who treats you poorly and gets angry at you every time you make a mistake in a game, which is literally full of made-up rules and fake points, it can't be a healthy relationship. It was 10 times worse in college football. My coach just yelled at us and got after us about tour need to get better at the beginning of every practice. His yelling had actual anger to it. It's like, "We haven't even done anything wrong yet coach!" lol Let's see how practice goes before you get mad at us. Bottom line is, it's a sport. Sports are competitive. If you want to win, a "Then" coach can help you do that. How good a coach is, is generally measured by how much they win. So the relationship with a sports coach like that is nothing like a relationship with a friend. It's a business transaction.

The “mean” coach isn’t yelling, swearing, screaming derogatory slurs, talking about Vietnam, or “secretly” drinking enough to be a Gen X’rs coach. …just sayin’.

I know we’re here to have fun, but you know what’s a lot of fun?? WINNING! 😂😂😂

“Take the crown of your helmet and use it as a weapon” Funny how that used to be how they taught you to hit and now it’s against the rules

Had a soccer coach my freshman and sophomore year of high who was there since he started the program back in the 80s. Ran 30-45 min before practice, did doubles the first week and a triple one Saturday. The team made it to states because they could outrun the other schools. Coach retires, new coach comes in, no more running or doubles. First season, the team went 0-15-1.

Playing sports in the ‘70s…yes, I had Coach Then. Nailed it. 😂😂😂😂😂

“That’s the I suck at football alarm and it’s going off for you” lol 😂 ahhh brings back so many memories

That no water shit made me laugh, the varsity coach in highschool used to hold a pre-try out "champ camp" where we didn't touch pucks for the entire time, just four days of skating for an hour straight. He made us ring a cow bell in order to take a drink of water and wouldn't let us bring it on the ice with us. Also had a 5 gallon bucket at center ice that he called the puke bucket, never seen it used though.

He had the essence of every Mid-Western dad

God that first whistle gave me palpitations, that terrifying little chirp

The new coach would have completed it with the famous man bun🤣

I had a "then" coach in college. Only difference was that all the things he made you do, he did them as well. He was also better at those things I've never had so much respect for someone in my life, and I strived to do the same, both as life long student and instructor

"Duck duck grey duck" Pure Minnesotan

Definitely grew up during the "Then Coach," and spot on! This is absolutely my FAVORITE one you have done, and that's really saying something! Thank you so much!

I miss the old days

So glad I had the then coaches growing up. We need more old-school coaches.

Let's be honest. We all wanted the "now" coach but knew the "then" coach would be the one that would get things done and actually make you better

Someone's never been in the Army, jeepers cripes do they make you drink water in that establishment. "DRINK WATERRRRRR" is a common chant to stay hydrated.

My husbands older than me so he had a “then” coach. His last name is Diller and the coach would call him “Dildo” 🤣 his friends (we still live in the town he grew up in) still call him Dildo when they go to the bars and I love it!

I miss when coaches actually pushed you to win, not this "Everyone is a winner" BS

I can’t stop laughing … “pick up the cones after practice”

My coach did the “no water” treatment on us and a kid passed out of dehydration. He had to run the next day lmao

"We're gonna practice til each and every one of you throws up!" 😄

When I was little our team used to give skull stickers to put on the back of your helmet to the kid who had the biggest hit of the game 😆

I’ve seen this guys channel grow. He continually surrounds himself with good people. Good content creation.

"Ya hear that Johnson?! It's the I SUCK AT FOOTBALL ALARM! And it's going off for YOU!!!" 🤣🏈

This is on point! It’s really true.

I just remember if I did something good in practice. The coach would praise you and he always had beer breath. Great guy learned alot and later on I coached. I don't drink, but I see why he did. I miss the 90s.

My coaches where about 100 times meaner than that lol. And we loved it!!!!

I love your videos, they make my bad days turn great! You hit every issue in real life 100% perfect!

"you get them down by high-fiving 'em" 😂

I literally had to tell my kids coach last night to actually coach the kids and stop telling the kids they played perfectly at halftime and they didn’t have anything to improve on when they were losing 5-0 in soccer 😂😂😂

I was waiting for the "if you want to quit when you are losing, that's the brave thing to do."

When "Then" coach said, "Put down that water," I half expected him to follow up with, "Water is for closers."

The attention to detail that he actually put someone or something in front of him to reflect off his sunglasses as if he were talking to a kid. This guy is great!

Thanks for the laughs always know it’s a good when u post it

I remember winning out first football game as a school (7th grade). The score was like 72-0. We then got in trouble for not winning by more when we could have. After that game everyone game 100% effort no matter how much we were up by or how much time was left. Edit: To add, we were really stacked compared to other schools in the same division but we also ALWAYS ran no-huddle offense.

My favorite kid comeback to a over dominant coach, “yeah my dad pitched for the Cardinals and he taught. I’m not going to do that.” To a volunteer middle school baseball coach

This! We absolutely need more of this. Lol legit was mad at the light in the loafers coach.

The "now" coach is ruining our society, but the "then" coach was bad, too. In 90's middle school football, water was a privilege, and a concussion was "getting your bell rung" that caused you to miss one or two snaps. Both ways suck.

I was in the marching band and every second we were late getting back to set from a water break we'd have to run a lap around the parking lot.

Just found this channel- HILARIOUS. Really should go to bed but now… I’m going to have some more wine and binge watch alll the videos.

“Water? Yeah after you throw up. LIFT THOSE KNEES.” - Summer 2008

As a boys gymnastics coach I'm closer to the "then" coach the "now" coach doesn't prepare the kid for life

My cross country coach/track coach favorite saying is, "you guys are all equally worthless to me".

You are so good at playing polar opposite personalities!!! Both were completely believable!! LOL

My high school coach acts like “ then “😂. And I’m glad!

Coach would walk down the hallway and throw people into lockers...🎭🤖🛡️

The real title should be "Football coaches in San Francisco be like"

"Water is for the weak" bringd me right back 😆

Dude - love the videos and your channel! Hilarious! Keep up the great work!

"fancy pants" get in the middle ... gotta love it

The water thing is the only one I can get behind, only because muscle gains are amplified by drinking a ton of water. If you don't get gains you don't win games is what my old coach used to say.

Wow, so accurate. Love it.

love you, man.

This is how you end up with Sarcastaball

The “now” coach is part of the reason we’re in this mess…. Myles is too manly to play the “now” coach…..it should have been Taylor again……😜😜

3:24 is pure gold!

The “I suck at football alarm” will get ya every damn time

My soccer coach just a few years back was a 'then' coach. If we lost a game, even by a tiny margin he would make us practice until we were sure we could beat the team we had lost to.

I had “then” coaches for wrestling. My lifting coach was an ex marine who threw a kid by his throat into the weight room just for getting disrespectful with him. God I miss those days.

I coached youth soccer, but refused to coach above age 11 (parents were a pain above that age). I was the THEN coach at practice, and the NOW coach after games, which were much easier than practice because we were prepared... Being prepared (even if you lose) is much more fun than not being prepared and being exposed in front of your family and friends.

First time I’ve seen your videos. Immediately recognized the city. Spent way too much time trying to confirm it. Keep up the good work.

I remember having to miss practice one time and the next day had to do a make up practice that was 10 times harder than the regular practice. But I never missed another one.

It's so true. Kids were better off for it in the past. They learned discipline and hard work. Today everyone is so soft and gets their participation trophys just for showing up.

this video hurt me so much cause i remember so clearly the old way of coaching when i was in a soccer team and seeing the new generation of coaching ahhh just pins in my heart honestly haha

"You get em down by high-fiving them..." 🤣

So, so true! It’s not preparing our kids, for life’s hurdles, with that new coach!

My old wrestling coach drank probably 37 cups of coffee a day, smelled like a combination of cologne and cigarettes, and was slightly lopsided from decades of setting up attacks from his power side; usually from a right sided underhook. Wouldn't trade a minute of the 100 degree rooms, stair laps, conditioning circuts and round-robins for anything. I miss that guy.

You think you'll be ready for this Friday🤣🤣🤣

The “i suck at football alarm..and it’s goin off for u”. The way he punches the word “perfect” and the cup held at a consistent height w/ no lid...b/c perfect people don’t need lids.
