Allot of the problems with programs in this area are the kids. You have kids just playing to wear the jersey, and other talented kids are not playing. Got to figure out how to get the talent on the field playing. Got to figure out how to get kids to play with heart. When just a few kids on the team are playing at 100% and eithers do good to give 50%, the team will never be winners. This is not the coaches fault, allot of it is the parents. When a kid comes home and the parents do nothing but bash the coaches. Then the kids go to practice and the games with the "I don't care" attitude, this spreads like wild fire. Coach Mac is mean, but he knows how to get average kids to play with heart. That is why he wins. And you are right, allot of parents cannot stand a coach to be mean to little Johnny. I want a coach to be hard on my kids, nothing in life is fair or easy. Might as well start while in school.
