McMinn Central vs. McMinn County

[Glory]

SJF, are you making a general statement or replying to someone?

If your statement is in general I agree that the girls coaches at both McMinn county schools are too negative a lot of times in how they handle girls. I see it almost every game at Central and have seen and heard how McMinn County's coach is as well. I have not heard fans or parents tell their kids at either school they are bad or discouraging. Is this happening at McMinn? I haven't heard it from the McMinn players parents I know and I know several of them well.

Look I am just trying to let everyone know that these kids are under alot of pressure! I have heard comments: Get her out of the game! What are you doing! etc. No finger pointing  but I have heard it! But I am a parent and I can speak from experience the worst part of any game is the car ride home! But kids don't seem to get so tore up if its their parents. But I have been at several games and way to many players coming out of locker room with sad faces or in some cases crying! And thats after a win! Players on both teams getting pulled off the floor for making a mistake then yelled at and embarrassed and demoralized! Coaches should never get in kids faces or stare at them all the way to the bench! Or a Coach stand up to make a knee jerk substitution walk to kids on the end of the bench look at them and wave his arms down like they are useless! Just my opinion but the gym is a classroom too. The Coach is the teacher and the player the student! In the class room they teach the kids, encourage them and praise them when they do good and if they struggle they don't give up on them but give them more chances and opportunities to succeed! But always explain to them thru encouragement what they did wrong! Next time you are at a game just ask your self if the Coaches acted this way in the classroom would it be accepted! Maybe I am wrong but it just seems as tho alot of the players and Coaches don't seem to be having fun! And ain't thats what its all about!
