I may have to do that if it happens, all my friends tell me I should if it continue or whatever
I have not been good at disciplining as well so thats on me

Sounds like burnout plus imposter syndrome.

Every teacher goes through this, trust me.

If you dont like it, you can leave.

But the longer you stay, the more skills and communication abilities you will pick up. Teaching isnt really something you come out of college knowing. You learn the basics there, and then learn how to do everything after years of successes, mistakes, tons of bad students, one or two students who care enough, and finally realizing thats just how school is.

I say stick with it and see how you feel.

I do fel a lot of similarites between teacher and my job. teachers might have it more rough tho!

Sounds like you might be depressed. Maybe go talk to a shrink and see what they think.

@Tyranthraxus

I think my malc of motivation and passion dwinddled a bit is slightly due to my lazy or lethargic workethic or POOR habits I developed that with my missing my family has kinda husrt that but idk

i hop eits not depression I dont tink it is

If you have access to it at the school you should look up any mental health support programs they have, see if they can help you sort out the motivation bit and maybe guide your soul searching. Honestly, if this can help athletes surely it can help you. and it'd be free right lol

I feel i am slightly lazy since my last job I wa able to "coast" even tho Imake same I do now, i was mking 38k ding a dogshit job at my old job since it was in anotehr field but coasted but I knew i had to get out of a rut

its honestly a lot onme
but the team I have is very difficult and I need ot man up and be harder and tougher

I'd fall on the side with your friends on this. Finish it out and evaluate. Think of what you'd tell your players if they came to you with this.

You'd tell them this is what they've put their entire life into and at some point they'll look back and wonder "What if...?" And regret not seeing it through.

will have more to say later but I agree with that you are saying

@dark-Summoner

you are right. its a head job so my own
my parents and friends say I need to suck it up and just do it until its over since its wat i always wanted and assess after but a lot of days its hard for me to WANT to do that which questions my work ethic

NoxObscuras posted...

So it sounds like you're stressing out because the team sucks, but you want them to be good? You'll definitely want to work on long term. Yes, it's fun when you're team is doing well, but don't let your mental health suffer over something that's not really in your control. Do what you can, but don't focus on win win win.

@NoxObscuras

absolutely the case, I am bringing some pressure on myself but damn, its still tough but I need to have more "fun" out of it and will try to see how thats possible in a tough situation

What everyone has told you is true most likely. It's only 1 year and you've got to pay your dues in that career path to make it to better ones. Aren't sports seasonal too? You're bound to have some time off eventually.

@ --Zero-

yes but during it is a grind where only getting 1 day off a week for x months maybe in between semester break

If you went into the job thinking you'd be coaching the new Harlem Globe Trotters, you might as well make a career change.

lol I defiantly knew what i was getting myself into. and was told as such its just been a little rougher than expected and I shouldn't feel what im feeling this super early on. of course its a lot to do with me and how I approach or perceive it too I think

Jiek_Fafn posted...

It sounds like it's more of a you issue and you would have these problems someplace else too. I'd trust the experience of others telling you that it will get better. I'd give it some time to see if they're right. If not, then look for someplace that might be a better fit.

@Jiek_Fafn

you are absolutely right , i learned this a few months ago where its been. well once I get this position it will be different or once I get his position I will be more motivated etc etc and that was a fucking lie to myself etc. there's parts that I love about the job then other parts I really don't like at all, the parts i thought I didn't like I thought it would be tolerable once I got my own type of head job, but I learned i need to work on myself

also want to mention
doesn't help that I have 1-2 bad eggs that some days are difficult to deal with, I already have a shortened roster , all my friends said to get rid of the cancer player or players that make life difficult which is true ubt then I would legitimately have only have 2-3 players as substitute so im trying to just gut out the year..

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]



you are right yes thank you,

@shockthemonkey

You speak like a very wise person. with excellent questions. I can bring in my own staff midway through this season or next year. the parts I find enjoyable are some but some are very rough and tough at practice,

I feel exhausted since I know things to work on and what to work on and I do it bit by bit. so many coaches are lazy and let things slide and the last week i feel im slipping on that since ive been lethargic. I used to love going to practice and plan it out. but lately I just want it to be over , this is common with coaches when you haven't recruited your full team but man..my work ethic needs to be better.

one of my peers who coach's same sport at same college said that he thinks im not having fun and can see it on my face and overstressed too much for the amt of pay they are giving me he said there is no pressure and to just have fun with it and make the most of this year and like you said, work on your weaknesses its my first head job and make the most out of it

What do you all make of it since some of you are in mgmt or business type positions that are familiar albeit you're in a harder position or type of spot than I am

I am a collegiate sport coach.

this is something i wanted to do for a long long time. I got hired to this position a month before school started

sadly, I am away from family and it has hurt me plus the fact that the team I am coaching is very bad( I knew this coming in well aware an braced myself, everyone told me when i got hired what I was in for and I thought I was ready) , I don't have the motivation and passion I once had and my work ethic has not been good last month, my higher ups are saying i am doing a great job an dway better than he ast coach but any of us could have done a better job.

all my peers said my first year here would be tough and they've been supportive and told me to just get by this year and itll get better plus they all think ive been working hard ( i personally know i haven't)

I dont feel motivated to continue doing the work and with the season coming up i feeling overwhelmed and just not up for it due toall the things and travel come with

my close friends say Ive always wanted this so to have fun, try to enjoy it and at the end of the season I can always reassess but idk

One thing is for damn sure tho, over the last 6 months one thing I learned is, I need to work on myself

why did the theory that dinosaurs were giant chickens gain traction? Its dumb, not to mention that alligators and the like arent birds

@the_shibe

evolution, obv not chikens but some dinosaurs really somewhat looked liek it kinda?

but think about this, if you dig into the cambrian period, we can say that every dinosaur was once a fish or manta ray type millons years prior

a mammal is from a dinosaur you can track a squirrel back to the triassic or Permian that evolved

one more

Did you see my question about dino documentaries ? some are very informative, bob baaker is in a lot of them he's very entertaining

I did not but will if they are on youtube, I wonder how good planet dinosaur is since their planet eartyh years ago were amazing!!!!

thank you for reccs

i havenot seen many dino docs at all, maybe 1-2 max RUverse has an excellent one for those that wanted to know

If you could design your own dinosaur, how would you design it? Would it be an herbivore or a carnivore? Small size or large?

good question lol

im not sure. prolly a small or very small medium herbivore think of a mini brontosaurus lol

I sometimes forget that the curraceous period is bigger time
period than the Triassic and Jurassic!!!!!

Question1 : Would it be possible for the dinosaurs to come back naturally in the future assuming the ideal living condition for them (from the supercontinent cycle)?

Question2 : What's the absolute upper limit for marine dinosaur (size/weight)?

Question3 : Are birds real? /s

Question3 : Are birds real? /s

1) I take this as an evolution question. If oxygen levels ever somehow rise to what it was then we would absolutely see some potential new megafauna types. Maybe. Over the course of 50 million years but to say they would be dinosaurs I would say like new type dinosaurs but not Dinos people billion years ago will call them not dinosaurs but something else for our time period

2) megladon type is about what scientists say it is and that was a big marine animal. What about Spinosarus if you want to call that soemwbat marine. Altho didnt live in water

Remmeber oxygen levels are very very very important if we want to talk about evolving and if things can ever be as big as they once were etc

It wild to remember that theres less time between T-Rex and then there is T-Rex and the start of the Jurassic.

is it a problem or no? if you think so why? if not why?

EDF-5 posted...

Did 'dinosaurs' have feathers
just y or n is fine

ofc and not just dino type birds

like I said before, late jurassic we now started to form the land as we know it so some in northern china/russia had seom feathers compared to those in africa for obv reasons

Tyranthraxus posted...

No. Any given species will become extinct due to evolution in a few million years assuming it isn't killed off by some other means. But birds are alive and we'd have a much different variety of birds than we do today if there was no asteroid.

AS i SAID ABOVE, i disagree

the simple fact that they lived through harsher conditions for 200+ milions years sure the climate is tougher so they wont be as bad but we would haev seen more evolved forms

tripleh213 posted...

Would dinosaurs still be around if there was no asteroid?

technically birds are still alive!

also if you mean trex or other dinos in that late era. if tey can survive for 100 million years + then sure they coulda survived another 100

the better question is what would the world look like now? I assume civilization would haev been stunted a bit

GranTurismo posted...

Where do you get all your dinosaur info? i'm guessin you don't have a degree in this stuff. Don't really care though, why would you need a degree? there's vast amounts of info on the internet. Wikipedia is a good source.

reading a lot and some videos

if multiple firm legit sources say he same thing or roughly same thing then I credit it as mostly valid

C-zom posted...

What was up with all the megafauna stuff? How did it go away? Were there any confirmed insects or animals that lived during this period, or was it mostly "vegetation" in a basic sense?

Question #2: You're in the prime of your life and suddenly know a lot about wilderness survival and isolation camping etc. What is the scariest ancient era you could be dropped into?

@c-zom

1) think of mammals that lived WITH dinosaurs, in the early triassic and through triassic some dinos were extinct and are mammals but 50-75 millions years ago would be categorized as dinosaurs. think of that evolution wise if that makes sense. wish I could remember it but there was one mammal that in triassic was a dinosaur but over time evoled to be a mammal living undergrounds, thin of like a squirrle type.

2) as I said above, i would hate to see dragonflys the size of a crow or an eagle!! same with other insects and spiders.

id wither away in any non internet time period XD

to get technical and no fun with you, it would be tough for human body RIGHT NOW to live in the jurassic period due to the obv climate and methane of most eras outside the one we are in now.

billcom6 posted...

Land management (a term that covers a bunch of different things) would help prevent forest fires. But that would be federal spending and he is most likely against any program that would pay for something like that, so him even mentioning it is pointless.

I mean if someone who deals with govt environment in austria said that to him then its not far fetched but then that would mean what you posted.

GranTurismo posted...

besides oxygen content iirc the avg temp during that time was much greater than it is now. Even with the bad climate change going on now

always been ice and warm periods, during end of jurassic when the land started to split it obv would be colder up north and warmer around equator etc

ofc the earth for millions of years has had its ups and down of climate

dameon_reaper posted...

That's interesting. I didn't think about the moon having been what collided with the planet and being a remnant. I just assumed it was something that just got caught in the gravity of the planet at some point...or maybe I thought it was always there since I never thought twice about that.

That's pretty wild. Now my thoughts on moons on planets have been changed.

I dont know much about it but just look at saturns ring and you can see wh that theory is around, some think saturns ring used to be a planet in its own if you collect all that together you could get a moon like or small planet so its understandable

aka I would hate to live in any of these time pyrods but just imagine how big some of these insects would get, easily 3-6+x larger than they are now for some.

i already freak out at the smallest bug..

hes fucking right that a centrist democrat would absolutely fucking kill it if they ran and were 60
I think biden is a fav regardless even with his age. i don tthik his age is that big of a deal

the coolest and fun question i was hoping to be asked was

nobody has asked why things /creatures are bigger than they are now and the answer to that question is simply oxygen, in jurassic time period especially , they claim there was 10-30% more oxygen which is insane for growth and development

iirc i think during the mesozoic oxygen was at its highest points in peaks.

@dameon_reaper

there are many theories going from aliens to plant colliding..
i am no space expert at all and didn't really care but before i think in hadrean era or prior there might have been a planed that colided with earth and a piece of that today is the moon in short.
that is in a very condesned explanation what a lot of people think the moon was formed,

so think of saturn ring.

also if every millions of years there is always rocks and asteroids hitting earth throughout the time periods I mentioned , some small, and some..as we know..quite meanicingly and would singe handledly sometimes change earth

some say that is due to that early impct with that plant to the sun is why there were A LOT of changes during first 2 eras due to more frequent asteroids(every 10-30 mil years) as oposed to every 50 mil years later for xpample/. they wre remnants and debris of that impact/Collison

Doe posted...

How do you feel about the internet's dismissal and disparagement of newer theories that dinosaurs were covered in feathers because of their love for an 80s Spielberg movie

@Doe

this is actually something that was known for awhile, after the jurassic periods tehre were some dinos after pangea split where the same dino in lets say africa could be scaly but raptors or the same dino in what we call russia today have slightly more feathers!

evolution at work since the colder the area the more you have to adapt right you cant just have scales or retile skin completely

I can go on and on but its actually not as new since the new claims doesnt lways take acount again, that dinosaurs were tehre during triassic and through curtaceous period so ofc over course of 200 mllion years adaptions would occur

in short, a lot of experts knew this for the dinos after the jurassic period once pangea split, and the reason for some to have more feathers or diff skin is simply due to evolution becuae of the climate being chaned due to pangea now being split apart if that makes sense.

its just that some are saying raptors AHVE ALWAYS had feathers for example, which, depending on the area nd timeframe you can argue for and against in a microcism snapshot but entirety, its both true and false
