While I am not disagreeing with you in regards to coaches helping with the problem I do note that you used volunteer coaches as your example. They usually are parents too with misguided goals. Parks and Rec should be for fun, friendships, basic fundamentals, and did I say fun? Some of these coaches are trying to live or in some cases re-live their athletics through coaching.Originally posted by the173herd:
Parents become the problem when they have kids. Also, dont just put the blame directly on the parents!!!! The coaches deserve some of the credit for creating these monsters!!!!!
Coaches need to be upfront with the kids and the parents. Let the kids know there roles, let the parents know the kids roles. They are to scared to do that. They do not want to hurt anyones feelings. Feelings are made to be hurt, that is life. Life is tough, get over it!!!! One of the best resources 99% percent of the teams at PSHS have is the Pembroke Rec Department. They are building programs that feed into the same sports they have at the HS. Just ask the Director who he has had problems with when it comes to parents and dont have that kid on your team.
Take a 2 kids i know, that i watched play, that i helped coach. Great athletes but horrible teammates. Was at a game where one was benched by her stepdad, then her mom walked up to him in front of every girl on the team and demanded he put her back in, which he did. She destroyed the attitude for that game, which we lost. The very next FB post from the mom was how well her baby played.....
Take a 12u football coach that went up to a baseball player, (this was a couple of years ago) while he was walking with a group of kids and the coach asked the player to play for him that they would win!!! the other players felt left out.
So yes parents are horrible but coaches are not any better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So is there any particular angle to your incessant rambling on this semi-intelligible topic? There are bad parents, bad coaches and bad kids. There are way more good one in all 3 categories.

Here's a subliminal comment the coach could remark when confronted with an irate parent slash parents, " While Third String Johnny grabs some pine, why don't you slash yall grab some aluminum up yonder in the stadium seating area, preferably out of earshot. "
