Yesterday I heard from a recently graduated 22yr old Auburn graduate that he was taking a "mental health day". Now imagine the look on my face when I heard this jargon. I was literally aghast not at what he said but, the fact that he really meant it. Where does this kind of thought process even come from?
I then ran across this article about how Coaches should possibly be talking/coaching/encouraging the Generation iY athletes today. As I read this article I began thinking how my high school football coach used to coach me and how the hooting and hollering actually motivated me and the other guys to play harder. And then I thought how it would have been when I was that young 18yr old in Marine Corps bootcamp if my Drill Instructor had come up to me this way and sat down to explain things first. LOL.
Read this and tell me what you think. I'm not saying there is no elements of accuracy or truth in this article but, is this what the young generation is about now?
