PUTTING IT INTO PERSPECTIVE
This is high school athletics, it's part
of the education they're receiving in high
school. This is not a (collegiate) Division I
program. It's supposed to be fun, and it's
supposed to teach life lessons. This
perspective is being lost.
My job as a coach should be to build
character with the kids, I should teach kids
and make them feel like family and make
sure they graduate.
2015
LET THEM PLAY

My son’s high school football team finished 1-9 this year, and I wouldn’t be prouder of
this team if they had gone undefeated.

They made a game of it each Friday night, and while they often were
outnumbered and overmatched, they never were outplayed. My son and his
teammates have learned more about hard work, sportsmanship and resilience on
the football field than anywhere else, and these lessons will make them better
men.

But as much as I enjoy the tradition of high school football, I worry about its future.

My son’s school has nearly 2,000 students, but his team is lucky to suit up 20
players for a varsity game. There are a lot more young men who want to play, but
whose parents won’t let them. Their parents think the risk of brain injury
outweighs the benefits of playing.

I understand the concerns and share them, but I have concluded those concerns
are misplaced. My children are the most important part of my life. I am a widower,
and when my son wanted to play football his freshman year, every mom and my
in-laws chastised me for considering it. Even President Obama wondered
whether he’d let his theoretical son play.
2015
LET THEM PLAY

I’m a physician and medical researcher at Stanford, and I only
decided to let my son play after reviewing the medical research.

The study that best elucidates the risk of football-related brain injury comes from the federal Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention. CDCP officials studied 3,439 former National Football League
players with at least five years of pension-credited playing seasons between 1959 and 1988.

This is arguably the highest-risk group of players available for study. Among these players, the
incidence of neurodegenerative disease is three times higher than in the general population. However,
the risk of death from neurodegenerative disease was relatively low in both groups: 3 percent in NFL
players, and 1 percent in the general population. The risk associated with a long NFL career is not
insignificant but remains small.

The high-profile research that is regularly cited as connecting the dots between football-related
concussions and dementia in NFL players lacks sufficient data to establish a causal link. Most of the
cases considered focus on former NFL players involved in a lot of high-risk behavior other than
football, and none of these studies included a control group. Research like this is typically filed away
as “interesting, but we need better data.”

The key here is that high school football is not the NFL. The
Mayo Clinic found that the risk of high school football players
developing degenerative neurological diseases later in life is
no greater than if they had been in the band, glee club or choir.
2015
LET THEM PLAY
The data suggests that the normal life of adolescents puts them at risk for brain injury
all the time. What would be the alternatives to my son playing football? Sports such
as soccer, skiing, rock climbing or lacrosse have similar risk profiles to high school
football.
My late wife rode horses competitively growing up. As an anesthesiologist at a
hospital that treats more horse-related trauma accidents than any other in the
country, I’m glad my son went with football.
I believe the benefits of playing high school football are worth the risks. Football is an
equal-opportunity sport. All different types of athletes make up a football team, the
skills needed don’t require years of practice, and there is no real advantage for kids
with private coaches. A healthy, average athlete who shows up to all the team’s
practice sessions and attends off-season weight training can usually find a spot on
the team.
My son’s teammates are from the whole socioeconomic and racial spectrum. The only
reason that his team was able to make a contest out of each game, despite that they
had so few players to work with, is that the boys learned how to build on what they
had in common instead of focusing on their differences.
2015
LET THEM PLAY

As Jack Kemp, the former pro quarterback and congressman, once said, “The huddle
is color-blind.” In an increasingly diverse world, opportunities to learn how to work
together with a wide range of people who start out on equal footing should not be lightly
dismissed.

When I sit in the stands, I worry when my 160-pound son lines up on the front
line of the kick return team, but that is only slightly less than I worry when I sit in
the passenger seat as he merges onto the highway. Adolescence is a scary time
for parents.

To all you parents who are keeping your sons from playing football, I say,
“Let them play.” They are just as safe on the football field as they are in
most of the other sports and activities we regard as a necessary part of a
healthy adolescence. You can save money on expensive club sports and
specialty coaches, and your sons will develop skills that will serve them
and the rest of us well.

Strength and Power Workout
It is a 3 Day per week workout that focuses on building strength through Max Effort Lifts
twice a week and Power through Max Speed lifts once a week. Players are guided
through the workouts by using charts and charting their progress.
Exercises are performed on a 3 week cycle which means that exercises change every
three weeks. By changing the Max Effort lifts every three weeks, it allows the central
nervous system to continue to perform at maximum effort without being detrimental to
the lifter.
On the Maximum Speed Lift day, lifters move 50-65% of their maximum strength as fast
as they can. By training with these percentages, the lifter is able to increase their
power.
Workouts are also broken into two major groups so that more players can lift at the
same time but not be using the same equipment.
Equipment Needed:
Max percentage chart - this chart only goes down to 75% of max but is good for
figuring out new max weight
Percentage chart – look under weight room charts. These charts have 50% through
95% and go down to 45lbs which is good for high school. Need these charts for max
speed lifts.
Plate Loading Chart – helps players put on the correct weight quicker.

Discipline
Excused absences from practice must be pre-approved by (at least a day ahead of
time) Head Coach
Academic Assistance- must have prior approval
Approval is granted by getting a signed note from the teacher, upon return the
player must have a signed and timed note.
All players will be at practice RAIN OR SHINE
At school- At practice
If a player gets sick at school/problem arises the player is responsible
for seeking out the Head Coach before they leave. If not it will be
unexcused.
If you miss practice or are late (FOR ANY REASON) you will stay after
practice and to make up for missed conditioning. THIS IS NOT
PUNISHMENT! You must stay in shape if you are to play, help the
team.

will help up determine the progress of
our student-athletes.

them achieve academically.

conference with the HEAD COACH

decisions
2015
Playing Time

Playing time is determined by 3 factors
 Ability
 Hard Work
 Attendance
A player that is always lazy and misses practice will
not play. A player who always works hard but cannot
get the job done will not play. Not all players
automatically play in a game. Players have to be able
to get the job done. At the varsity level we play to win
the game. No player will receive playing time based on
anything other than ability and hard work. No player
will receive preferential treatment. Our goal is to try to
get as many players on the field as possible.
2015

events with the team.

TEAM POLICIES
GENERAL CONDUCT POLICY
DON’T BE THAT GUY
Do not do anything to hurt the team. Do not engage in any activity
that could reflect negatively on you, your family, or Phoenixville in a
derogatory manner. Any conduct that brings negative publicity which
embarrasses the organization, is conduct detrimental to the team.
You must represent Phoenixville High School in a class manner.
Personal behavior is a matter of self discipline and self pride. If you
cannot think highly of yourself then how can you expect anybody
else to. We cannot win with players who do not have these qualities
because they cannot take pride in the team. We will have great
character and represent our school with integrity. We will be the
class of Pennsylvania high school football.
