I coach softball because, while I'm woefully uninformed vs many DFP-ers, I get far less pushback from parents than I did coaching baseball, where everyone knows everything about the game; the girls are more coachable, in general; and it's a special, unique thing DD and I get to share, not necessarily in that order. Hell, it's fun!
I will second that. Obviously we do this for our DDs and the other players on the team, but I see nothing wrong with enjoying it. And the time together is priceless. I feel sorry for those that don't understand how special it can be. DD had a coach on a previous team that would constantly play the 'sacrifice' card. During team "pep talks" he would explain how they owed him their respect because he was volunteering his time. Luckily, that experience was short lived...
