My thoughts exactly. Most coaches feel like they have a Bull's Eye painted on their back at least half of the time.
You think?
I know a coach who is one of the most respected coaches in the mid-state who has put more girls in D1, has won state several times, is a Christian, great father, great husband, kind, dedicated, loves all types of kids, honest, carin and etc....... than anyone that I know. But just a few years ago he had parents who question what he was doin and wanted to get him fired....now folks somethin is wrong with this picture! Coachin just ain’t the same as it used to be a few years ago, cause these parents are sendin their princess's to pitchin lessons, hittin lessons and they think because they go that they are good. Well I hate to be the one to bust their bubble but cause you go doesn’t mean that your princess’s will be good!
Yep sometimes I wonder why coaches put up with some of the dumb, stupid, unintelligent, slow parents who are at the game runnin that mouth. Cause they have played, coach a little travel ball or seen it on TV makes them an expert. But the good coaches put quality hours in learnin somethin new about the game, studyin the game, scoutin other teams, reading about the sport, goin to clinics. This coaches are taken time away from their families and children and spending them with kids who parents are dumb _ _ _ if you know what I mean. Then they have to take these15-20 girls with different home life, different morals, different values, different intelligence levels, different economic backgrounds, girls worrying about their home life, boyfriends, jobs, and havin there parents runnin that mouth at the games at the umps, other parents or anyone that will just listen.
My mama always told me if you can’t say nothin nice about someone just keep that mouth shut. Now folks don’t you think if that loud mouth at the game will talk about the coach, the umps, other players on the team they will talk about your daughter and you as well. You better believe it cause if you think that you are special just wait and you be talked about soon or later.
The good book says the hardest thing to control is that tongue and just go to the park and you will see what God is a talkin about!
