Straight from the horses mouth, Cayd will definitely go D-1. He's already had offers.

In response to momoftwo (who actually is the momofthree) . . . let's see, first you cannot decide how many children you have and next you just can't decide if it IS okay with you or NOT okay with you for coaches to get upset. And then it's conditional, according to your specifications, only when players make mistakes. There ARE various other reasons why a coach might, on a not-so-perfect day, be inclined to raise his voice. Or, possibly with your exceptional standards, maybe you prefer that the coach place a note on the door cancelling practice on a given day due to his frustration rather than facing his players and showing them that he is human, too. Obviously, in your opinion, coaches EVERYWHERE stereotypically fall into a category whereby yelling, cussing, throwing things and degrading players is the norm. And again, because of narrow-minded thinking and upbringing such as this, I reiterate that your two (or three) children should probably not participate in sports, fearing that they might get their feelings hurt by a coach whose style and approach simply could never meet your superior expectations and isolated standards. And frankly my dear, you go ahead and continue to hold onto your rigid way of thinking, because it isn't going to change a thing.

Apparently you, SpanishPride and momoftwo have never coached a sport in your life, or had an authentic passion to give little pieces of yourself . . . strength, energy, desire, belief in . . . to another to help them become all that they can be. That is what Coach Bloomquist is about. "Degrading" to the weak and insecure is apparently quite different from "Motivating" to those who want to be successful and the best they can be. The expectations you are placing on a high school Coach are extremely high it appears . . . even greater perhaps than those you have of yourself as a parent with your passiveness and inaudible voices. I would suggest that you NOT allow your own children to participate in sports and just keep them under your protective wing, unexposed to anyone who does not share your own standards or value system.

momoftwo - You really are righteous and if nicey-nice works for you G-R-E-A-T!! However, everyone has a style, thank God, so please don't be so judgmental when you have never walked in the same shoes as Coach Bloomquist.

If Coach Bloomquist didn't care about kids, or the fact that he wants each and every one of them to reach their potential, he wouldn't bother saying a word to them. However, that is just not the case with this Coach who goes above and beyond to help kids become successful (Yes-even his own son) and because of his style, he is also, through sports, preparing these same people for life and a world that is occasionally harsh, unfair and cruel. Congratulations Spartans on your sub-state win and Good Luck Friday
