Breathitt just like most other schools have paid asst. In fact the school alots 4 paid asst @ $4,000 each. Is it a lot of money for all the time and energy that you put into coaching no but most of the reason you do it is b/c you have a passion for it! You can point a finger at whomever and whatever and there are a lot of reasons why most of the sports program at Breathitt have gone down. The main reason is most of the kids in this county don't participate in sport activity. You have bigger kids walking the hallways at Breathitt than you do on the playing fields. Probably figure it's easier to set on the couch and play it on the play station or x-box. Non the less, Breathitt is headed in the right direction with the youth football. It will probably take them until those kids are in high school for the turn around but rebuilding processes are never quick an easy. Also short term, schedule some teams that your kids can compete with instead of teams where the kids are getting beat down all the time. I don't mean cupcakes just teams that are on your level. Moral is a big thing with kids and it's hard for them to go from start to end during the course of a season with a positive attitude when all the experience is losing! Next school admin, student body and the community needs to get behind these boys and girls. It's sad when the visiting teams fans are louder than yours.
