Worst Thing a Footy Coach Has Ever Said to You?
We asked the Mad Monday crew on Facebook:
“What’s the worst thing a coach has ever said to you?”
Safe to say, the responses were brutal.
Here’s some of the best (or worst) coach sprays that got sent in. Enjoy.
“Got Most Improved award… been playing 25 years.”
Consistency is key. Apparently improvement is still on the way.
“Get up you cat.”
I was head knocked. I was 12.
The coach was my dad.
Character-building stuff.
“Coach once gave me the nickname Roota…”
Because apparently every time I got the ball I f***ed it up.
Tough nickname to shake.
“Turn your shirt inside out and run water for the boys champ.”
Didn’t just get dropped. Got demoted to hydration team mid-session.
“Trainer came out one day with a message from the coach.”
“Do you know the Ressies coach?”
I said, “Yeah?”
“Well if you don’t start having a go, he’ll be your coach next week.”
Beautifully delivered, absolutely soul-crushing.
“You’ll be in the pocket where the wind isn’t blowing.”
Also known as Siberia.
“Just bring your runners.”
“Have you ever considered playing a different sport?”
Footy’s not for everyone. Apparently, I was one of those people.
Got One That’s Worse?
Jump on the Mad Monday Facebook or Instagram and drop your worst spray.
Best one might just end up on a singlet.
