Good posts.
As a former high school coach, I can tell you those days are gone.
There is a major problem with society today and a lot of parents exemplify it.
This problem is lack of responsibility or accountability. If someone screws up, they want to blame someone else. If somebody's kid screws up, they want to blame the coach. "It's ok Johnny, you're an all-star. That blasted coach doesn't know what he's doing."
This is the mentality that the majority of parents display today. As coaches, though, we know this up front, so we should expect it.
In other words, "No use complaining about what we can't fix. Focus on what we can fix."
