The document discusses the challenges facing high school coaches, including low and decreasing salaries despite increasing responsibilities, job insecurity due to budget cuts, and the gender pay gap for female coaches. While coaching demands are rising and some salaries are increasing, coaches generally do not earn a living wage given their extensive duties inside and outside of practice, which include teaching and mentoring students. The future prospects for coaching salaries appear brighter as positions grow along with the teaching field, but low pay remains an issue requiring improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Coaching rough draft

Will Coaching High School Football Provide in the Current Economy?
The lowest–paid coach in the United States annually earns less than $15,000 for his hard work,
according to the United States Department of Labor. Coaching a high school team has many
consequences in the current economy. One has to have the passion to coach and must not expect
to get wealthy, because salaries for coaches are so low. Men are struggling in the coaching
business, but women are feeling the effects of discrimination because of gender. As low as male
coaches get paid, female coaches earn even lower salaries. However, demands for high school
coaching positions are climbing and salaries are increasing. Does this mean higher pay scales for
coaches? Coaches are now working all year because of the competition. The job also demands
more than just coaching a team, but actually calls for the coaches to teach the players out of
practice. Coaches also have to deal with personal issues from players for numerous reasons. Do
coaches get paid enough for all of their work and duties they put in? If coaches are to earn a fair
wage, the school should borrow from all the money teams bring in. For example, the high school
football team at Ennis High School has brought in over $200,000 each year for the past five
years. With that much money rolling in, the school should borrow from that money to pay the
coaches.
For example, coaches are working longer and getting paid less. High school football
coaches say their job has become a year round job (al.com). Coaching is getting tougher.
Coaches have more responsibilities and everyday jobs. While salaries are decreasing the work
2. Tankersley 2
coaches are putting in is increasing.Some assistant coaches are working for less than minimum
wage per hour (republicanherald.com). The question is posed: why do coaches continue to coach
high school teams if they are being paid less than minimum wage? Coaches have to enjoy their
job or else it would be meaningless to work year-round and only get paid the same wage as a bus
boy. The good news is that from 2006-2016 employment of athletic related positions are to
enhance by 15 percent (ehow.com). As demands for high school coaches increase, the job
description frequently involves responsibilities the average person never sees (al.com). Coaching
has changed over the years. It is taken more seriously now and comes with more
responsibilities.Most high school football coaches also teach class, serve as athletic director and
prepare for those ten Friday nights that define a program (al.com).Coaches now have to prepare
for the upcoming season all year, instead of during the season itself. The pressure is riding on the
coaches. The competition has heightened at the high school level and coaches are getting paid for
their success, especially in football (star-telegram.com). The deeper a team advances in the
playoffs, the more money the district receives, the more exposure the school receives and the
more support the team draws from its community (statesman.com). After winning a state
championship at Ennis High School, head coach Sam Harrell’s salary increased by 65 percent
from what he was making in 1995. The school also saw a dramatic growth in the number of
students. The success of a football team draws people to the school and it benefits the school by
raising money to pay for other funds. Because of the coaches’ salaries riding on the success of
the team, coaches’ jobs are at risk (statesman.com). With more accountabilities and extra duties,
where are the raises? Coaches’ jobs are at risk, they are under pressure to yield success, and they
have more to do. The discrepancy between the issue of salary and job responsibilities remains
large.

Furthermore, the risk of a coach losing his job is great. Coaches have lost their jobs in the
past years due to budget cuts and low financial aid. High school coaches are questioning if
theirjobs are at risk. For instance after just two years of Allatoona High School being established,
the school board voted to cut 579 full-time teachers and all part-time teachers to make up for a
$126.7 million shortage (mdjonline.com). This could mean the loss of all head coaches at the
newest high school in Cobb County (mdjonline.com). These coaches were young men looking to
get a start on life and were let go because of the uncertain career they chose to follow. The
coaches were hand-picked to help the school gain some acknowledgement as a school that
provides extracurricular activities (mdjonline.com). At other schools both teachers and coaches
are receiving budget cuts, but teachers are complaining that coaches are being paid more for
doing less. What the teachers fail to see is that coaches work longer and, arguably, harder than
teachers. Coaches’ contracts are usually based on a 226-day work year while teachers’ contracts
are based on a 187-day year (statesman.com). Teachers also receive a longer summer break than
most coaches (statesman.com). Over the past ten years the gap between teachers’ and coaches’
salaries had widened by 7.3 percent, regulating for inflation (statesman.com).Because of
inflation the gap between coaches’ and teachers’ salaries have become increasingly wider, but
with good reason. Coaches do not have a summer break off of work and they are paid by success,
not by a permanent, yearly wage.The gap will slowly close because of the growing necessity for
teachers at high schools.
Thirdly, the coaching business is also, not just affecting men, but just as much affecting
the women, if not more. At Marquette University coaches of male teams make almost four times
what coaches of female teams make (georgetownvoice.com). It is more difficult for a woman to
make the same salary as a man because of their gender. The battle of equality in male and female
4. Tankersley 4
athletics has been a problem for years; male sports have been accused of receiving better salaries
(thesop.com). It seems to be the status quo for many universities and high schools for men to do
everything in the athletic department. While the men are the ones that coach high school teams, it
is the idea that women should stay on the bleachers that is ruining opportunities for women
coaches.Fortunately the wall separating male and female equality is slowly being torn down.
Natalie Randolph, 29, a science teacher at Calvin Coolidge Senior High School, was introduced
as the school's head football coach in 2010 (cnn.com). This is a huge step forward for women
coaches. Since Randolph’s pioneering steps, there have been other cases of female head football
coaches. Who knows what the future holds now? If gender does not matter, than both male and
female coaches should receive the same salaries in the near future.
Interestingly enough, though coaches are earning low incomes today, coaching positions
are in such demand that salaries are climbing quickly.Coaching includes more than just coaching
a bunch of kids, but teaching at the school usually is required as well. There are also individual
duties that the coaches ensure; Coach Kerry Stevenson makes sure his players are registered for
the ACT and provides transportation to the test (al.com). He and others routinely take players to
summer camps and combines, paying for it out of their pockets (al.com).Coach Jamie Riggs,
head football coach at T.R. Miller high school, says he tells his players to call him if they have
any problems in their life. He often gets calls from distressed kids and helps his players at school
(al.com). With kids, a coach can never be impatient or have a bad attitude. Coaches are always
under the radar, whether the players are watching or the community around them. Coaches must
take care of their family and provide for them on a low salary, but they also have to be constantly
aware that the players may have personal needs that need to be tended to. Coaches have to be
like a second father, or in many cases a first father. Some coaches get paid minimum wage and
5. Tankersley 5
can hardly support their family but it is the love of the game and the players that pushes
them.Coaches do not coach for the money, because they do not make a good living, but they do
it for other reasons. They work all day and all year and still do not receive a good income. But
that will soon change. The coaching business is recovering and coaches will be paid better in the
future. But for right now, it is fair to say that without doubt, coaches do not get paid enough for
their work.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that teaching and assistant teaching jobs will
grow about as fast as the economy as a whole between 2008 and 2018 (ehow.com). The BLS
credits this growth rate to a need for education that is rising in proportion to a steadily growing
population. With teaching jobs increasing, coaching jobs will open up as well.Coaches will have
a better opportunity in receiving a job if they have a minor in a core subject.Schools are now
looking for more coaches that can teach in a classroom setting. As teaching jobs increase so will
coaching jobs. People are finally starting to see all the hard work coaches put in, to earn a
diminutive salary. Schools around the country are catching on and paying their coaches more.
With high school football bringing a large part of the schools’ revenue, coaches have started to
be more respected and esteemed. The future looks brighter for coaches, but it will be a slow
process. In a few years coaches should be earning the money they deserve.
If a student desires to become a coach in the future, then he must know what he is getting
into. To be a coach one has to have the passion for teaching students. The job has more
requirements now. Coaches must teach students outside of sports and sometimes act as a parent.
The risks are high and high schools are cutting budgets and salaries. For a young man trying to
start a new family it most likely will be difficult to provide for his family. Head coaches usually
start off as assistant coaches or middle school coaches. The income is extremely low for high
6. Tankersley 6
school assistant coaches and middle school coaches. The student must also know that coaching
salaries are low even though the coach is expected to do more. However, salaries are increasing
as coaching positions are needed. This will be a slow process, but in the end it is up to the
student if he is willing to take job risks and low income, in order to pursue coaching.
